WARNING!
• If a child restraint system, child, small teenager or adult 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. This may result in serious injury or death in a
collision.
• Always wear your seat belt and sit properly, with the seatback in an upright position, your
back against the seatback, sitting upright, facing forward, in the center of the seat, with your
feet comfortably on or near the floor.
• Do not carry or hold any objects (e.g., backpacks, boxes, etc.) while seated in the front
passenger seat. Holding an object may provide an output signal to the OCS that is different
than the occupant’s properly seated weight input, which may result in serious injury or death
in a collision.
• Placing an object on the floor under the front passenger seat may prevent the OCS from
working properly, which may result in serious injury or death in a collision. Do not place any
objects on the floor under the front passenger seat.
The Air Bag Warning Light
in the instrument panel 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 OCS 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 components 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 assembly 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 repaired. 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.
