• 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.

• 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.
The passenger seat assembly contains critical OCS components that may affect Passen-
ger 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.
