274 SAFETY
(Continued)
The Air Bag Warning Light will illuminate whenever the
OCS is unable to classify the front passenger seat status.
A malfunction in the OCS may affect the operation of the air
b
a
g system
. If the Air Bag Warning Light does not come
on, or stays on after you start the vehicle, or it comes on as
yo
u drive
, take the vehicle to an authorized dealer for service
immediately.
The passenger seat assembly contains critical OCS compo-
nents that may affect Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag
inflatio
n. 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 an authorized dealer. Only FCA
US LLC approved seat accessories may be used.
• Do not carry or hold any objects (e.g., backpacks, boxes,
etc.) w
hile 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.
WARNING!
• Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light in your instrument
panel c
ould mean you won’t have the air bags to protect
you in a collision. If the light does not come on as a bulb
check when the ignition is first turned on, stays on after
you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag system immediately.
WARNING! (Continued)
• 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 colli
-
sion. Do not place any objects on the floor under the
front pas
senger seat.
• If there is a fault present in the OCS, both the PAD Indi-
cator L
ight and the Air Bag Warning Light will illumi-
nate to show that the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag
i
s deact
ivated. Should this occur, the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag will remain deactivated until the
fault is cleared. This indicates that you should take the
vehicle to an authorized dealer for service immediately.
