Not Seated Properly
WARNING!
If a child restraint system, child, small teen-

ager or adult in the front passenger seat is
seated improperly, the occupant may provide
an output signal to the OCS that is different
from the occupant's properly seated weight
input. This may result in serious injury or death
in a collision.
Always wear your seat belt and sit properly,

with the seatback in an upright position, your
back against the seatback, sitting upright,
facing forward, in the center of the seat, with
your feet comfortably on or near the floor.
Do not carry or hold any objects (e.g., back-

packs, boxes, etc.) while seated in the front
passenger seat. Holding an object may
provide an output signal to the OCS that is
different than the occupant's properly seated
weight input, which may result in serious injury
or death in a collision.
Placing an object on the floor under the front

passenger seat may prevent the OCS from
working properly, which may result in serious
injury or death in a collision. Do not place any
objects on the floor under the front passenger
seat.

classify the front passenger seat status. A
malfunction in the OCS may affect the operation of
