The OCS determines the front passenger’s most probable classification. If an occupant in the
front passenger seat is seated improperly, the occupant may provide an output signal to the OCS
that is different from the occupant’s properly seated weight input, for example:
The Air Bag Warning Light
will turn on
whenever the OCS is unable to classify the
front passenger seat status. A malfunction in
the OCS may affect the operation of the air
bag system.
If the Air Bag Warning Light
does not
come on, or stays on after you start the vehicle,
or it comes on as you drive, take the vehicle to
an authorized dealer for service immediately.
The passenger seat assembly contains critical
components that may affect the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag inflation. In order for
the OCS to properly classify the seated weight
of a front seat passenger, the OCS compo-
nents must function as designed.
Do not make any modifications to the front
passenger seat components, assembly, or to
the seat cover. If the seat, trim cover, or cushion
needs service for any reason, take the vehicle
to your authorized dealer. Only FCA US LLC
approved seat accessories may be used.
The following requirements must be strictly
followed:
• Do not modify the front passenger seat as-
sembly or components in any way.
• Do not use prior or future model year seat
covers or cushions not designated by FCA
US LLC for the specific model being re-
paired. Always use the correct seat cover
and cushion specified for the vehicle.
• Do not replace the seat cover or cushion
with an aftermarket seat cover or cushion.
• Do not add a secondary seat cover or mat.
• At no time should any Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) component or SRS
related component or fastener be modified
or replaced with any part except those which
are approved by FCA US LLC.
