Occupant Classification System
This vehicle is equipped with a right front passenger Occupant Classification System
(“OCS”) that is designed to provide Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag output appropriate
to the occupant’s seated weight input, as determined by the OCS.
The Occupant Classification System (OCS) consists of the following:
•OccupantRestraintController(ORC)
•OccupantClassificationModule(OCM)andSensorlocatedinthefrontpassengerseat
•AirBagWarningLight
GETTING STARTED
17

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 occu-
pant’s properly seated weight input, for ex-
ample:
The Air Bag Warning Lightwill turn on
whenever the OCS is unable to classify the
front passenger seat status. A malfunction
in the OCS may affect the operation of the
air bag system.
If the Air Bag Warning Lightdoes 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.
The passenger seat assembly contains criti-
cal components that may affect the 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 de-
signed.
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
Chrysler Group LLC approved seat accesso-
ries may be used.
The following requirements must be strictly
followed:
•Donotmodifythefrontpassengerseat
assembly or components in any way.
•Donotusepriororfuturemodelyearseat
covers or cushions not designated by
Chrysler Group LLC for the specific
model being repaired. Always use the
correct seat cover and cushion specified
for the vehicle.

WARNING!

Rear Head Restraints
The rear outboard head restraints have three positions UP, MID and DOWN. The center
head restraint has only two positions, Up and Down. When the center seat is being
occupied the head restraint should be in the raised position. When there are no occupants
in the center seat the head restraint can be lowered for maximum visibility for the driver.
