WARNING
•
No objects that add to the total weight
on the seat should be placed on the
front passenger'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 col-
lision, thereby injuring the child.
•
The seat belt should never be wrapped
around an object on the front pas-
senger's seat. This could interfere with
the OWS system'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 pres-
sure exerted on the weight sensor by a
child, and could result in the airbag
being enabled, which might cause it to
deploy in the event of a collision,
thereby injuring the child.
WARNING
•
Keep the following points in mind with
respect to the OWS system. Failure to
follow these instructions could
adversely affect the system's function
and result in serious injury to the occu-
pant of the front passenger's seat:
•
The full weight of the front seat pas-
senger 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 front,
passenger's side airbag.
