SAFETY 171
(Continued)
The Air Bag Warning Light will illuminate
whenever the OCS is unable to classify the front
pas
senger seat status.
A malfunction in the OCS may affect the
ope
ration 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
d
ri
ve, take the vehicle to an authorized dealer
for service immediately.
The passenger seat assembly contains critical
OCS
components that may affect 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 an authorized
dealer. Only FCA US LLC approved seat
accessories may be used.
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.
WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light in your
instrument panel could 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.
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.
If there is a fault present in the OCS, both
the PAD Indicator Light and the Air Bag
Warning Light will illuminate to show that
the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag is
deactivated. 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.
