Pedestrian Protection System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Jeep Patriot and 2014 Jeep Compass. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
A Pedestrian Protection system (also known as the PedPro System) is factory-installed safety equipment, which is available only in vehicles manufactured for certain export markets. Unlike the PedPro system used in some other models, the PedPro system used in this vehicle consists entirely of passive, static components. There are no electronic or active features used or required in the PedPro system for this vehicle. The PedPro system for this vehicle includes the following major components, which are described in further detail elsewhere in this service information:
- Front Energy Absorber Foam Material - The front energy absorber foam material is sandwiched between the front bumper area of the front fascia and the front bumper support beam. Refer to FRAME AND BUMPERS for front fascia removal and installation procedures.
- Pedestrian Bar - A static, tubular metal pedestrian bar (also known as a leg catcher) is concealed just behind the lower end of the front fascia. The pedestrian bar is suspended at each side from the lower end of a stamped metal bracket that is secured at the top near the same brackets that support each end of the front bumper support beam. Refer to FRAME AND BUMPERS for the pedestrian bar removal and installation procedures.
