Jeep 2011 Liberty - Manual (Page 66)

• Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects
between you and the side air bags; the performance
could be adversely affected and/or objects could be
pushed into you, causing serious injury.
• If your vehicle is equipped with SABIC air 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 attach-
ments (bolts or screws) for installation on the vehicle
roof. Do not drill into the roof of the vehicle for any
reason.
Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the
driver and the front passenger, and position front occu-
pants for the best interaction with the Advanced Front
Air Bag.
Along with seat belts and pretensioners, Advanced Front
Air Bags work with the knee bolsters to provide im-
proved protection for the driver and front passenger. Side
air bags also work with seat belts to improve occupant
protection.
Air Bag Deployment Sensors And Controls
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
The ORC is part of a Federally regulated safety system
required for this vehicle.
The ORC determines if deployment of the front and/or
side air bags in a frontal or side collision is required.
Based on the impact sensor’s signals, a central electronic
ORC deploys the Advanced Front Air Bags, Supplemen-
tal Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC), and front seat
belt pretensioners, as required, depending on the severity
and type of impact.
