WARNING
Do not decrease the total seated
weight on the front passenger seat.
When an adult or large child sits on the
front passenger seat, decreasing the
total seated weight on the front

deployment is dangerous. The front
passenger seat weight sensors will
detect the reduced total seated weight
condition and the front passenger front
and side air bags and knee air bags,
and the seat belt pretensioner system
will not deploy during an accident. The
front passenger will not have the
