Dodge 2009 Avenger Automobile User Manual


 
The front driver and passenger seat contain inflatable
side airbags to protect the occupant from impact injuries.
Correctly functioning front passenger seat components
are critical for the Occupant Restraint Controller System
(ORC) to properly classify the front passenger and calcu-
late the proper airbag deployment. Do not make any
modifications to the front passenger seat components,
assembly, or to the seat cover.
The following requirements must be strictly adhered to:
Do not make any modifications to the front passenger
seat components, assembly, or to the seat cover in any
way.
Do not use prior or future model year seat covers not
designated for the specific model being repaired. Always
use the correct seat cover specified for the vehicle.
Do not replace the seat cover with an aftermarket seat
cover.
Do not add a secondary seat cover other than those
approved by Chrysler LLC/Mopar.
At no time should any Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) component or SRS-related component or fas-
tener be modified or replaced with any part except
those which are approved by Chrysler LLC/Mopar.
WARNING!
Unapproved modifications or service procedures to
the front passenger seat assembly, its related compo-
nents, or seat cover may inadvertently change the
airbag deployment in case of a frontal crash. This
could result in death or serious injury to the front
seat passenger if the vehicle is involved in an acci-
dent. A modified vehicle may not comply with re-
quired Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FM-
VSS).
