OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS CAUTION To avoid potential death or serious injury when the front passenger occupant classification system does not detect the conditions correctly, observe the following. D Wear the seat belt properly. D Make sure the front passenger's seat belt tab has not been left inserted into the buckle before someone sits in the front passenger seat. D Make sure the "AIRBAG ON" indicator light is illuminated when using the seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the "AIRBAG OFF" indicator light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue from the seat belt buckle, then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender after making sure the "AIRBAG ON" indicator light is illuminated. If you use the seat belt extender while the "AIRBAG OFF" indicator light is illuminated, the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the front passenger side may not activate correctly, which could cause death or serious injury in the event of collision. D Do not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat or equipment (e.g. armrest). D Do not put weight on the front passenger seat by putting your hands or feet on the front passenger seat seatback from the rear passenger seat. D Do not let a rear passenger lift the front passenger seat with their feet or press on the seatback with their legs. D Do not put objects under the front passenger seat. D Do not recline the front passenger seat seatback so far that it touches a rear seat. This may cause the "AIRBAG OFF" indicator light to be illuminated, which indicates that the passenger's airbags will not deploy in the event of a severe accident. If the seatback touches the rear seat, return the seatback to a position where it does not touch the rear seat. Keep the front passenger seatback as upright as possible when the vehicle is moving. Reclining the seatback excessively may lessen the effectiveness of the seat belt system. 197
