Jeep Wrangler: SAFETY TIPS / Transporting Passengers and Pets
Transporting Passengers
NEVER TRANSPORT PASSENGERS IN THE CARGO AREA.
WARNING!
- Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.
- It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo
area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
- Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with seats
and seat belts.
- Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly.
Transporting Pets
Air Bags deploying in the front seat could harm
your pet. An unrestrained pet will be thrown
about and possibly injured, or injure a
passenger during panic braking or in a collision.
Pets should be restrained in the rear seat (if
equipped) in pet harnesses or pet carriers that
are secured by seat belts.
Seat Belts
Inspect the seat belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced immediately.
Do not disassemble or modify the system...
Other information:
To provide additional storage area, each rear
seat can be folded flat to allow for extended
cargo space.
NOTE:
Be sure that the front seats are fully upright
and positioned forward. This will allow the
rear seat to fold down easily.
The center head restraints must be in the
lowest position to avoid contact with the
center console when folding the seat...
The Side Air Bags are designed to activate in
certain side impacts. The Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) determines whether the
deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular
impact event is appropriate, based on the
severity and type of collision...
