Jeep 2006 Grand Cherokee - Manual (Page 43)

WARNING!
•
Do not put anything on or around the front airbag
covers or attempt to manually open them. You may
damage the airbags and you could be injured because
the airbags are no longer functional. These protective
covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open
only when the airbags are inflating.
•
If your vehicle is equipped with window bags, do not
stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block
the location of the window bag. The area where the
window bag is located should remain free from any
obstructions.
•
If your vehicle is equipped with window bags, do not
have any accessory items installed which will alter the
roof, including adding a sunroof to your vehicle. Do
not add roof racks that require permanent attachments
(bolts or screws) for installation on the vehicle roof. Do
not drill into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.
•
Do not cover or place items on the airbag covers. These
items may cause serious injury during inflation.
The front airbags have a multi stage inflator design. This
allows the airbag to have different rates of inflation that
are based on collision severity. Along with the seat belts,
front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bol-
sters to provide improved protection for the driver and
front passenger. Window bags also work with seat belts
to improve occupant protection.
The seat belts are designed to protect you in many types
of collisions. The front airbags deploy in moderate to
severe frontal collisions.
NOTE: The passenger front airbag may not deploy even
when the driver front airbag has if the Occupant Classi-
fication System (refer to
ЉOccupant Classification SystemЉ
in this section) has determined the passenger seat is
empty or is occupied by someone that is classified in the
Љsmall childЉ category.
