All Liberty diesels include multi-stage front airbags for the driver and front passenger that are engineered with an Occupant Classification System, which monitors positions and weights of passengers to tailor airbag deployment. Supplemental curtain airbags are also available to maintain the upper-body integrity of the vehicle’s occupants. During side-impact and rollover collisions, these can be especially effective.

Communication and entertainment
While the new diesel is certainly a respectable engineering feat, several electronic systems inside the cabin signal automotive progress as well. The navigation radio uses voice commands and a 4.2-in. display to guide you along the desired route. Data can be entered in a variety of ways, and the screen will display either a full map or a detailed section.

Another device, the UConnect Hands-free Communication System, employs Bluetooth technology that connects a cellular phone to the factory-mounted voice receiver. Voice dialing and multi-phone recognition help drivers communicate safely and conveniently.

Finally, SIRIUS satellite radio provides clear, commercial free music, news, and sports all day and night. Jeep covers the first-year subscription, when the option is chosen.
