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 re-
paired. Always use the correct seat cover

WARNING!
• Unapproved modifications or service pro-
cedures to the passenger seat assembly,
its related components, seat cover or
cushion may inadvertently change the air
bag deployment in case of a frontal col-
lision. This could result in death or seri-
ous injury to the front passenger if the
vehicle is involved in a collision. A modi-
fied vehicle may not comply with re-
quired Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS) and/or Canadian Mo-
tor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS).

Front Passenger Seat Equipped With Flip ‘n
Stow
The front passenger seat may be equipped
with Flip 'n Stow Front Passenger Seat Stor-
age (refer to “Getting To Know Your Vehicle”
for additional information). Make sure that
objects inside the Flip 'n Stow Front Passen-
ger Seat Storage bin do not interfere with the
latch before closing the seat. In addition,
after closing the Front Passenger Seat Stor-
age bin, make sure the front passenger seat
cushion is pushed downward and fully
latched to the base. Over-stuffing the storage
bin may result in the OCS inaccurately clas-
sifying the front passenger’s seated weight.
WARNING!
Make sure that objects inside the Flip 'n
Stow Front Passenger Seat Storage bin do
not interfere with the latch before closing
the seat. In addition, after closing the
Front Passenger Seat Storage bin, make
sure the front passenger seat cushion is
pushed downward and fully latched to the
base. Over-stuffing the storage bin, or a
not fully latched passenger seat cushion,
may result in misclassification of the front
passenger’s weight. This may result in se-
rious injury or death in a collision.
