Jeep Wrangler: OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS / Maintaining Your Air Bag System
WARNING!
- Modifications to any part of the air bag
system could cause it to fail when you need
it. You could be injured if the air bag system
is not there to protect you. Do not modify
the components or wiring, including adding
any kind of badges or stickers to the
steering wheel hub trim cover or the upper
passenger side of the instrument panel. Do
not modify the front fascia/bumper, vehicle
body structure, or add aftermarket side
steps or running boards.
- It is dangerous to try to repair any part of
the air bag system yourself. Be sure to tell
anyone who works on your vehicle that it
has an air bag system.
- Do not attempt to modify any part of your
air bag system. The air bag may inflate accidentally
or may not function properly if
modifications are made. Take your vehicle
to an authorized dealer for any air bag
system service. If your seat, including your
trim cover and cushion, needs to be
serviced in any way (including removal or
loosening/tightening of seat attachment
bolts), take the vehicle to an authorized
dealer. Only manufacturer approved seat
accessories may be used. If it is necessary
to modify the air bag system for persons
with disabilities, contact an authorized
dealer.
In the event of an impact, if the communication
network remains intact, and the power remains
intact, depending on the nature of the event,

understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed...

comfortably wrap around the occupant’s
mid-section so as to not activate the ALR...
