CAUTION

Front passenger occupant classification system precautions

Observe the following precautions regarding the front passenger occupant
classification system.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

Wear the seat belt properly.

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.

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 illumi-
nated, 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.

Do not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat.

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.

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

Do not put objects under the front passenger seat.
