ESP JEEP WRANGLER 2010 JK / 3.G Supplement Owners Manual

The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of
the system whenever the ignition switch is in the START
or ON positions. These include all of the items previously
mentioned.
based on the severity and type of collision, the side airbag
inflator on the crash side of the vehicle is triggered,
releasing a quantity of non-toxic gas. The inflating side
airbag exits through the seat seam into the space between
the occupant and the door. The side airbags fully inflate
in about 10 milliseconds. The side airbag moves at a very
high speed and with such a high force, that it could injure
you if you are not seated properly, or if items are
positioned in the area where the side airbag inflates. This
especially applies to children.
•TheKnee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of
the driver and the front passenger, and position every-
one for the best interaction with the front airbag.
If a Deployment Occurs
The airbags are designed to deflate immediately after
deployment.
NOTE: Front and/or side airbags will not deploy in all
collisions. This does not mean something is wrong with
the airbag system.
If you do have a collision which deploys the airbags, any
or all of the following may occur:
•The nylon airbag material may sometimes cause abra-
sions and/or skin reddening to the driver and front
passenger as the airbags deploy and unfold. The
abrasions are similar to friction rope burns or those
you might get sliding along a carpet or gymnasium
floor. They are not caused by contact with chemicals.
They are not permanent and normally heal quickly.
However, if you have not healed significantly within a
few days, or if you have any blistering, see your doctor
immediately.
22 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

•As the airbags deflate you may see some smoke-like
particles. The particles are a normal by-product of the
process that generates the non-toxic gas used for
airbag inflation. These airborne particles may irritate
the skin, eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye
irritation, rinse the area with cool water. For nose or
throat irritation, move to fresh air. If the irritation
continues, see your doctor. If these particles settle on
your clothing, follow the garment manufacturer’s in-
structions for cleaning.
•Do not drive your vehicle after the airbags have
deployed. If you are involved in another collision, the
airbags will not be in place to protect you.
WARNING!
Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot
protect you in another collision. Have the airbags,
seat belt pretensioner, and seat belt retractor assem-
bly replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact causing airbag deployment, the
vehicle communication network intact, and the power
intact, the ORC will determine if the event is severe
enough for the Enhanced Accident Response System to
perform the following functions:
•Cuts off fuel to the engine.
•Flashes hazard lights as long as the battery has power
or until the ignition key is turned off
