INSTALLING AN ISOFIX CHILD
CARSEAT

95) 96) 97) 98) 100)

The rear side seats of the vehicle are
equipped with ISOFIX attachments, for
fitting child restraint systems quickly,
simply and safely.
The ISOFIX system lets you install the
ISOFIX child restraining system without
using the car seat belts but connecting
them directly to the carseat with three
anchors in the car. Traditional child
restraint systems can be fitted alongside
ISOFIX child restraint systems on
different seats in the same vehicle.
To install an ISOFIX child restraint
system, attach it to the two metal
anchorages A fig. 93 located where the
rear seat cushion meets the backrest,
then fix the upper strap (available
together with the restraint system) to the
dedicated anchorage B located at the
bottom behind the backrest.

As an example, fig. 94 shows an example
of a Universal ISOFIX child restraint
system for weight group 1.

IMPORTANT The fig. 94 is indicative
and for assembly purposes only. Fit the
child restraint system according to the

instructions, which must be included.

SAFETY

NOTE When a Universal ISOFIX child
restraint system is used, only ECE R44
"ISOFIX Universal” (R44/03 or further
upgrades) type-approved child restraint
systems can be used (see fig. 95 ).
The other weight groups are covered by
specific ISOFIX child restraint systems,
which can be used only if specifically
tested for this vehicle (see list of vehicles
provided with the child restraint system).

SUITABILITY OF PASSENGER
SEATS FOR i-Size CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM USE

The rear side seats of the vehicle are
type-approved to house the
state-of-the-art i-Size child restraint
systems.
These child restraint systems, built and
type-approved according to the i-Size
(ECE R129) standard, ensure better
safety conditions to carry children on
board a vehicle:

the child must be transported rearward

facing until 15 months;

child restraint system protection is

increased in the event of a side collision;

the use of the ISOFIX system is

promoted to avoid faulty installation of
the child restraint system;

efficiency in the choice of the child

restraint system, which isn't made
according to weight anymore but
according to the child's height, is
increased;

compatibility between the vehicle

seats and the child restraint systems is
better: the i-Size child restraint systems
can be considered as "Super ISOFIX",
this means that they can be perfectly
fitted in the type-approved i-Size seats,
but can also be fitted in the ISOFIX (ECE
R44) type-approved seats.

NOTE The vehicle seats, i-Size
type-approved, are marked by the symbol
shown in fig. 96.

Main recommendations to carry children
safely

Install the child restraint systems on

the rear seat, which is the most protected
position in the event of an impact.

Keep children in rearward facing child

restraint systems for as long as possible,
until 3–4 years old if possible.

If a rear facing child restraint system

is installed on the front seat, passenger's
side, it is recommended to remove the
head restraint (refer to the procedure
described in "Head restraint" paragraph,
"Knowing your vehicle" chapter). The
head restraint must be repositioned
properly if no child restraint system is to
be transported.

If the passenger's front airbag is

deactivated always check the dedicated
warning light on the panel located on the
dashboard to make sure that it has
actually been deactivated.

Carefully follow the child restraint

manufacturer's instruction supplied with
the child restraint system. Keep the
instructions in the vehicle along with the
other documents and this handbook. Do
not use second-hand child restraint
systems without instructions.

Only one child is to be strapped into

each restraint system; never carry two
children using one child restraint system.

Always check that the seat belts do

not rest on the child’s neck.

Always check that the seat belt is well

fastened by pulling on it.

While travelling, do not let the child

sit incorrectly or unfasten the belts.

Never allow a child to put the belt's

diagonal section under an arm or behind
their back.

Never carry children on your lap, even

newborns. No-one could restrain them in
the event of an accident.

In the event of an accident, replace

the child restraint system with a new
one.

WARNING

88) SEVERE DANGER When a front
passenger airbag is fitted, do not install
rearward facing child restraint systems on
the front passenger seat. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the child regardless of the
severity of the collision. It is advisable to
always carry children in a child restraint
system on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of a
collision.

89) On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that
it is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if
a rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger side sun visor (see the
"Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) -
Airbag" paragraph).
90) Should it be necessary to carry a child
on the passenger side front seat in a rear
facing child restraint system, the
passenger side front airbag and side bag
must be deactivated through the display
main menu (see the "Display" paragraph,
"Knowing the instrument panel" chapter),
verifying deactivation by checking whether
the

OFF LED has switched on in the

trim located on the dashboard. Move the
passenger's seat as far back as possible to
avoid contact between the child seat and
the dashboard.
91) Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.

136

SAFETY

92) Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be
injured, even fatally. When fitting a
restraint system for newborns or children,
strictly comply with the instructions
provided by the Manufacturer.
93) When the child restraint system is not
used, secure it with the seat belt or with
the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from
the vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured
inside the passenger compartment. In this
way, in the case of sudden braking or an
accident, it will not cause injuries to the
occupants.
94) After installing a child restraint
system, do not move the seat: always
remove the child restraint system before
making any adjustment.
95) Always make sure that the chest
section of the seat belt does not pass
under the arms or behind the back of the
child. In the event of an accident the seat
belt will not be able to secure the child,
with the risk of injury, including fatal
injury. Therefore the child must always
wear the seat belt correctly.

96) Do not use the same lower anchorage
to install more than one child restraint
system.
97) If a Universal ISOFIX child seat is not
fixed to all three anchorages, the child
seat will not be able to protect the child
correctly. In a crash, the child could be
seriously or fatally injured.
98) Fit the child restraint system when the
car is stationary. The child restraint
system is correctly fixed to the brackets
when you hear the click. Follow the
instructions for assembly, disassembly
and positioning that the Manufacturer
must supply with the child restraint
system.
99) If the vehicle was involved in an
accident of a certain severity, have the
ISOFIX anchorages and the child restraint
system replaced.
100) If the vehicle was involved in an
accident of a certain severity, have both
the child restraint system and the seat
belt it was attached to replaced.

SUPPLEMENTARY
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)-
AIRBAG

The vehicle is equipped with:

front driver airbag;
front passenger airbag;

driver and passenger front side bags

for pelvis, chest and shoulder protection
(Side bags);

front and rear side passenger side

bags for head protection (window bag).

FRONT AIRBAGS

The front driver/passenger airbags and
the driver knee bag (where provided)
protect the front seat occupants in the
event of frontal impacts of medium/high
severity, by placing the bag between the
occupant and the steering wheel or
dashboard.
Therefore non-activation of airbags in
other types of collisions (side impacts,
rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not
indicate a system malfunction.
The driver and passenger front airbags
are not a replacement for, but are
complementary to, the seat belts, which
should always be worn as required by law
in Europe and most non-European
countries.
In the event of impact, anyone not
wearing a seat belt is projected forwards

137

and may come into contact with the bag
while it is still inflating. The protection
offered by the bag is compromised in
these circumstances.
The front airbags may not activate in the
case of a frontal impact against highly
deformable objects not involving the
front surface of the car (e.g. wing
collision against guard rail) or in the case
of the car wedging under other cars or
protective barriers (e.g. under trucks or
guard rails).
Failure to activate in the conditions
described above is due to the fact that
they may not provide any additional
protection compared with seat belts, so
their activation would be inappropriate.
In these cases, non-deployment does not
indicate a system malfunction.

Driver's side front airbag

101) 102)

This consists of an instantly inflating bag
contained in a special compartment in
the centre of the steering wheel fig. 97.

IMPORTANT Do not use particularly
aggressive products to clean the
steering wheel airbag cover.

Passenger front airbag

103)

This consists of an instantly inflating bag
contained in a special recess in the
dashboard fig. 98; this bag has a larger
volume than that of the driver's.

SAFETY

Passenger's front airbag and child restraint
systems

Rearward facing child restraint systems
must NEVER be fitted on the front seat
with an active passenger side airbag
since in the event of an impact the
airbag activation may cause fatal injuries
to the transported child. ALWAYS comply
with the instructions on the label stuck
on the passenger side sun visor fig. 99.

Deactivating the passenger side airbags:
front airbag and side bag

If a child must be carried on the front
seat in a rear-facing child restraint
system, deactivate the passenger side
front airbag and front side bag. Use the
display Menu to deactivate them.
There are

OFF and

ON LEDs on the

dashboard trim. Moving the ignition
device to MAR, the two LEDs switch on
for a few seconds. Otherwise, contact a
Jeep Dealership.
During the first seconds, the activation of
the LEDs does not actually show the
passenger protection status, but only
checks its correct operation. After a test
of a few seconds, the LEDs will indicate
the status of the passenger airbag
protection.

Passenger protection activated: the

fig. 100 LED switches on fixed.
Passenger protection deactivated: the

OFF fig. 100 LED switches on with a

steady light.
The LEDs may light up with various
intensity levels depending on the vehicle
conditions. The intensity may vary during
the same key cycle.
