Lexus 2006 lx 470 Manual page 183

CAUTION
To avoid potential death or serious injury when the front
passenger occupant classification system does not
detect the conditions correctly, observe the following:
D Make sure the front
classification indicator light indicates "ON" when
using the seat belt extender for the front passenger
seat. If the indicator light
disconnect the extender tongue from the seat belt
buckle, then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the
seat belt extender after making sure the indicator
light indicates "ON". If you use the seat belt extender
while the indicator light indicates "OFF", 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.
D
Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far
that it touches a rear seat. This may cause the "OFF"
indicator 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 second
seat, return the seatback to a position where it does
not touches the second 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.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
D If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the
occupant classification indicator light should
indicate "ON". If the "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
correctly. If the "OFF" indicator still remains
illuminated, either ask the passenger to move to the
second seat, or if that is not possible, move the front
passenger seat fully rearward.
D Wear the seat belt properly.
D 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.
D
Do not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat
or equipment (e.g. armrest).
D
Do not put weight on the front passenger seat by
putting your hands or feet on the front passenger
seatback from the second seat.
D
Do not let a second seat passenger lift the front
passenger seat with their feet or press on the
seatback with their legs.
D Do not put objects under the front passenger seat.
D Do not modify or replace the upholstery of the front seat.
D
Child restraint systems installed on the second seat
should not contact the front seatbacks.
