Jeep 2016 CHEROKEE User Manual page 23

The OCS determines the front passenger's most probable classification. If an
occupant 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, for example:
The Air Bag Warning Light in the instru-
ment panel will turn on whenever the
OCS is unable to classify the front pas-
senger seat status. A malfunction in the
OCS may affect the operation of the air
bag system.
If the Air Bag Warning Light
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.
The passenger seat assembly contains
critical OCS components that may affect
the 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, assem-
bly, or to the seat cover. If the seat, trim
cover, or cushion needs service for any
reason, take the vehicle to your autho-
rized 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 cush-
ion with an aftermarket seat cover or
cushion.
