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.
Make sure the passenger airbag on−
D
off indicator light indicates "ON"
when using the seat belt extender
for the front passenger seat. If the
indicator light indicates "OFF", dis-
connect the extender tongue from
the seat belt buckle, then reconnect
the seat belt. Reconnect the seat
belt extender after making sure the
indicator light indicates "ON". If
you use the seat belt extender
while the indicator light indicates
"OFF", 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.
Do not recline the front passenger
D
seatback so far that it touches a
backwall. This may cause the "OFF"
indicator to be illuminated, which
indicates that the passenger's air-
bags will not deploy in the event of
a severe accident. If the seatback
touches the backwall, return the
seatback to a position where it
does not touch the backwall.
Keep the front passenger seatback
as upright as possible when the ve-
hicle is moving. Reclining the seat-
back excessively may lessen the ef-
fectiveness of the seat belt system.
If an adult sits in the front passen-
D
ger seat, the passenger airbag on−
off indicator light should indicate
"ON". If the "OFF" indicator is illu-
minated, 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 "OFF"
indicator still remains illuminated,
move the front passenger seat fully
rearward.
Wear the seat belt properly.
D
Make sure the front passenger's
D
seat belt tab has not been left in-
serted in the buckle before some-
one sits in the front passenger
seat.
Do not place a heavy load on the
D
front passenger seat, etc.
Do not apply pressure to the front
D
passenger seat by resting hands or
legs on the seatback.
Do not put objects under the front
D
passenger seat.
Do not attach any heavy items to
D
the back of the front passenger
seat.
When it is unavoidable to install the
D
forward−facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat,
install the child restraint system on
the front passenger seat
proper order. (As for the installation
order, see "—Installation with seat
belt" on page 118 in this Section.)
