1-7. Safety information *5: In case the indicator is not illuminated, consult this manual for installing the child restraint system properly. (→P. 111) CAUTION n Front passenger occupant classification system precautions Observe the following precautions regarding front passenger occupant classification 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 AIR BAG OFF indicator light is not illuminated when using the seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the AIR BAG 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 AIR BAG ON indicator light is illuminated. If you use the seat belt extender while the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated, the front passenger airbag may not activate correctly, which could cause death or serious injury in the event of collision. l Do not place a heavy load on the front passenger seat or equipment (e.g. seatback table). l Do not apply pressure to the front passenger seat by resting hands or legs on the seatback. 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 or a back wall. This may cause the AIR BAG 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 or back wall, return the seatback to a position where it does not touch the rear seat or back wall. 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. 104
