WARNING
Vehicles with the Occupant Classification
System (OCS):
If the gross weight of the objects in the stow-
age net on the back of the front-passenger
seat is greater than 4.4 lb (2 kg), OCS cannot
correctly assess the occupant's weight cate-
gory. The front-passenger front air bag could
deploy without cause, or may fail to deploy in
the event of an accident. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Never exceed the permissible gross weight of
4.4 lb (2 kg). Stow and secure heavy objects in
the cargo compartment.
