72 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! Occupants in the front passenger seat sitting improperly may cause the OCS to not classify the passenger's weight accurately. This may result in serious injury or death in a collision. Always wear your seat belt and sit properly, with the seat back in an upright position, your back against the seat back, sitting upright, facing forward, in the center of the seat, with your feet comfortably on or near the floor. Do not carry or hold any objects (e.g., backpacks, boxes, etc.) while seated in the front passenger seat. Holding an object may cause the OCS to not classify the passenger's weight accurately, which may result in serious injury or death in a collision. The OCS may not classify the front passenger properly if: • The front passenger's weight is transferred to another part of the vehicle (like the door, arm rest or instrument panel) • The front passenger leans forward, sideways or turns around • The front passenger seatback is not in the full upright position • The front passenger carries or holds an object while seated (e.g., backpack, box, etc.)
