WARNING!
•
Always wear your seat belt a nd sit properly, with
the seatback i n an upright position, your back
against the seat back, sitting upright, facing for-
ward, in the center of the seat, with your feet com-
fortably 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 sig-
nal 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.
The Air Bag Warning Light
will illuminate whenever
the OCS is unable to classi fy 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.
WARNING!
•
Ignoring the Ai r Bag Warning Light in your instru-
ment panel could mean you won’t have the air
bags to protect you in a colli sio n. 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!
•
Placing an object on the floor under the front pas-
senger 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 u nde r 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 A ir 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.
The passenger seat assembly contains critical OCS
components that may affect Passenger Advanced Front
Air Bag inflat io 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 compo-
nents, assembly, or to the seat cover. If the seat, t ri m
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.
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 spe-
cific 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 Sys-
tem (SRS) component or SRS related component or
fastener be modified or replaced with any part
except those which are approved by FCA US LLC.
WARNING!
•
Unapproved modifications or service procedures to
the passenger se at assembly, its related compo-
nents, seat cover, or cushion may inadvertently
change the air bag deployment in case of a frontal
collision. This c ould result in death or serious
injury to the front passenger if the vehicle is
involved in a co llisi on. A modified vehicle may not
comply with required Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS) and/or Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS).
•
If it is necessary to modify the air bag system for
persons with di sabili ti es, contact an authorized
dealer.
Knee Impact Bolsters
The knee impact bolsters help protect the knees of the
driver and front passenger, and position the front occu-
pants for improved interaction with the front air bags.
WARNING!
•
Do not drill, cut, or tamper with t he knee impact
bolsters in any way.
•
Do not mount any accessories to the knee impact
bolsters such as ala rm lights, stereos, cit izen band
