CAUTION

n

Front passenger occupant classification system precautions

Observe the following precautions regarding front passenger occupant classifica-

tion system.

Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

l

Wear the seat belt properly.

l

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.

l

Make sure the AIRBAG OFF indicator lights is not 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,

side airbag on the front passenger side and front passenger knee airbag may not

activate correctly, which could cause death or serious injury in the event of colli-

sion.

l

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.

l

Do not let a rear passenger lift the front passenger seat with their feet or press on

the seatback with their legs.

l

Do not put objects under the front passenger seat.

l

Do not recline the front passenger 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.

l

If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the AIRBAG ON indicator light is illu-

minated, If the AIRBAG 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 cor-

rectly. If the AIRBAG OFF indicator still remain illuminated, either ask the pas-

senger to move to the fear seat, or if that is not possible, move the front passenger

seat fully rearward.
