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.
Supplemental Knee Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the
instrument panel below the steering column and a Supplemental Passenger Knee Air Bag
mounted in the instrument panel below the glove compartment. The Supplemental Knee
Air Bags provide enhanced protection during a frontal impact by working together with the
seat belts, pretensioners, and Advanced Front Air Bags.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs)
located in the outboard side of the front and rear (in vehicles equipped with outboard
rear seat SABs) seats. The SABs are marked with a SRS AIRBAG or AIRBAG label sewn
into the outboard side of the seats.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs)
located above the side windows. The trim covering the SABICs is labeled SRS AIRBAG
or AIRBAG. The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete ejection of
vehicle occupants through side windows in certain side impact events.
• The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) are designed to activate in certain side
impacts. The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”) determines whether the deploy-
ment of the Side Air Bags in a particular impact event is appropriate, based on the
severity and type of collision. V ehicle damage by itself is not a good indicator of whether
or not Side Air Bags should have deployed.
