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 If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the occupant classification indicator light should indicate "ON". If the "OFF" indicator is illuminated, ask the passenger to sit up straight, well back in the seat, feet on the floor, and with the seat belt worn correctly. If the "OFF" indicator still remains illuminated, either ask the passenger to move to the second seat, or if that is not possible, move the front passenger seat fully rearward. D Make sure the front passenger occupant classification indicator light indicates "ON" when using the seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the indicator light indicates "OFF", disconnect the extender tongue from the seat belt buckle, then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender after making sure the indicator light indicates "ON". If you use the seat belt extender while the indicator light indicates "OFF", 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. that it touches a rear seat. This may cause the "OFF" indicator 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 second seat, return the seatback to a position where it does not touches the second seat. 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 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 seatback from the second seat. D Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far D Do not let a second seat 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 modify or replace the upholstery of the front 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. D Child restraint systems installed on the second seat should not contact the front seatbacks. 161
