• 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

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.
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.
