The OCS will NOT prevent deployment of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag. The OCS
may reduce the inflation rate of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag if the OCS
estimates that:

Advanced Front Air Bag deployment. Never allow children to ride in the front passenger
seat and never install a child restraint system, including a rear-facing child restraint, in the
front passenger seat.
The OCS determines the front passenger’s most probable classification.
The OCS estimates the seated weight on the front passenger seat and where that weight
is located. The OCS communicates the classification status to the ORC. The ORC uses the
classification to determine whether the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag inflation rate
should be adjusted. In order for the OCS to operate as designed, it is important for the
front passenger to be seated properly and properly wearing the seat belt. Properly seated
passengers are:
•Sittingupright
•Facingforward
•Sittinginthecenteroftheseatwiththeirfeetcomfortablyonornearthefloor

Lighter Weight Passengers (Including Small Adults)
When a lighter weight passenger, including a small adult, occupies the front passenger
seat, the OCS may reduce the inflation rate of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag. This
does not mean that the OCS is working improperly.
Do not decrease OR increase the front passenger’s seated weight on the front passenger
seat
The front passenger’s seated weight must be properly positioned on the front passenger
seat. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death. The OCS determines the most
probable classification of the occupant that it detects. The OCS will detect the front
passenger’s decreased or increased seated weight, which may result in an adjusted
inflation rate of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag in a collision. This does not mean
that the OCS is working improperly. Decreasing the front passenger’s seated weight on the
front passenger seat may result in a reduced-power deployment of the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag. Increasing the front passenger’s seated weight on the front
passenger seat may result in a full-power deployment of the Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bag. Examples of improper front passenger seating include:
•Thefrontpassenger’sweightistransferredtoanotherpartofthevehicle(likethedoor,
arm rest or instrument panel).
•Thefrontpassengerleansforward,sideways,orturnstofacetherearofthevehicle.

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

Chrysler Group LLC for the specific
model being repaired. Always use the
correct seat cover and cushion specified

BLIND SPOT MONITORING
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located inside the
rear bumper fascia, to detect Highway licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motor-
cycles etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system warning light, located in the outside mirrors, will
illuminate if a vehicle moves into a blind spot zone.
The BSM system can also be configured to sound an audible (chime) alert and mute the
radio to notify you of objects that have entered the detection zones.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
