WARNING
• No objects that add to the total weight on
the seat should be placed on the front pas-
senger'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 passenger's
seat. This could interfere with the OWS sys-
tem'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 exerted on
the weight sensor by a child, and could re-
sult in the airbag being enabled, which
might cause it to deploy in the event of a
collision, thereby injuring the child.

Occupant Weight Sensor
WARNING
Keep the following points in mind with
respect to the OWS system. Failure to fol-
low 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 cushion.
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 be-
tween the object and the front seat, other
than as a direct result of the correct use of
the ALR/ELR seat belt (see page 32).
• No objects should be placed under the
front passenger's seat. This could interfere
with the OWS system's function.
