WARNING

No objects that add to the total weight

on the seat should be placed on the

front passenger's seat. If a child is

seated in the front passenger's seat

with any additional weight, this extra

weight could cause the OWS system to

enable the airbag, which might cause it

to deploy in the event of a collision,

thereby injuring the child.

The seat belt should never be wrapped

around an object on the front passeng-

er's seat. This could interfere with the

OWS system's function.

The front passenger's seat belt should

never be used in a way that exerts more

pressure on the passenger than normal.

This could increase the pressure exer-

ted on the weight sensor by a child, and

could result in the airbag being enabled,

which might cause it to deploy in the

event of a collision, thereby injuring the

child.

WARNING

Keep the following points in mind with

respect to the OWS system. Failure to follow

these instructions could adversely affect the

system's function and result in serious injury

to the occupant of the front passenger's

seat:

The full weight of the front seat passen-

ger should always be on the seat cush-

ion. The passenger should never lift

him/herself off the seat cushion using

the armrest in the door or the center

console, by pressing the feet on the

floor, by sitting on the edge of the seat

cushion, or by pressing against the

backrest in a way that reduces pressure

on the seat cushion. This could cause

OWS to disable the passenger's side

front airbag.

Do not place any type of object on the

front passenger's seat in such a way

that jamming, pressing, or squeezing

occurs between the object and the front

seat, other than as a direct result of the

correct use of the Automatic Locking

Retractor/Emergency Locking Retrac-

tor (ALR/ELR) seat belt, see page 34.

No objects should be placed under the

front passenger's seat. This could inter-

fere with the OWS system's function.
