4. Have the adult passenger sit in the center of
the seat, with the passenger's feet
comfortably on or near the floor, and with
their back against the seatback.
5. Restart the vehicle and have the passenger
remain in this seated position for two to
three minutes after restarting the vehicle.
WARNING!
If the PAD Indicator Light remains illumi-

nated for an adult passenger, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately. Failure to do so may
cause serious injury or death. If the PAD
Indicator Light is illuminated with the words
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF," the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag will not deploy in
the event of a collision.
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in

front of an air bag. A deploying passenger
front air bag can cause death or serious
injury to a child 12 years or younger,
including a child in a rear-facing child
restraint.
WARNING! (Continued)
Never install a rear-facing child restraint in

the front seat of a vehicle. Only use a
rear-facing child restraint in the rear seat.
If the vehicle does not have a rear seat, do
not transport a rear-facing child restraint in
that vehicle.
Children 12 years or younger should always

ride buckled up in the rear seat of a vehicle
with a rear seat.
Lighter Weight Passengers (Including Small
Adults)
When a lighter weight passenger, including a
small adult, occupies the passenger seat, the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag may be
deactivated. Therefore, the Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag may or may not be activated for a
lighter weight passenger, including a small adult
(depending on size) who is seated in the
passenger seat. This does not mean that the OCS
is working improperly.
The driver and passenger must always use the
PAD Indicator Light as a determination of
(Continued)
whether the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag is
activated or deactivated. If the PAD Indicator
Light is illuminated with the words "PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF" when an adult is in the front
passenger seat, have the passenger reposition
his or her body in the seat until the PAD Indicator
Light goes out.
If the PAD Indicator Light is illuminated with the
words "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag will not
inflate in the event of a collision.
Do Not Decrease OR Increase The Front
Passenger's Seated Weight On The Front
Passenger Seat
The front passenger's seated weight must be
properly positioned on the front passenger seat.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or
death. The OCS determines the most probable
classification of the occupant that it detects. The
OCS will detect the front passenger's decreased
or increased seated weight, which may result in
deactivation or activation of the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag in a collision. This does
not mean that the OCS is working improperly.
Decreasing the front passenger's seated weight
on the front passenger seat may result in
deactivation of the Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bag causing serious injury or death. Increasing
the front passenger's seated weight on the front
passenger seat may result in activation of the
