CAUTION
To avoid potential death or serious
injury when the front passenger occu-
pant classification system does not
detect the conditions correctly, ob-
serve the following.
D
Do not recline the front passenger
seat seatback so that it interferes
with a second seat as it may cause
the "AIRBAG OFF" indicator light
be illuminated. If the seatback inter-
feres with the second seat, return
the seatback to a position where it
does not interfere with the second
seat.
Avoid reclining the front passenger
seat seatback too much while the
vehicle is moving, as it lessens the
effectiveness of the seat belt.

Make sure the "AIRBAG ON" indica-
tor light is illuminated when using
the seat belt extender for the front

seat belt extender while the "AIR-
BAG OFF" indicator light is illumi-
nated, the front passenger airbag
and side airbag on the front pas-
senger side may not activate cor-
rectly, which could cause death or
serious injury in the event of colli-
sion.

nated. If the "AIRBAG
indicator light is illuminated, ask
the passenger to sit up straight,
well back in the seat, feet on the
floor, and with the seat belt worn
correctly. If the "AIRBAG
indicator light still remains illumi-
nated, either ask the passenger to
move to the rear seat, or if that is
not possible, move
passenger seat fully rearward.

Wear the seat belt properly.

seat belt tab has not been left in-
serted into the buckle before some-
one sits in the front passenger
