Possible solution
Stop the vehicle in a safe location as soon as possible and check the front
passenger seat for the following:
Apply the parking brake ( page 65).
Switch off the ignition ( page 40).
Have the front passenger vacate the seat and exit the vehicle.
Adjust the seat in a height position ( page 44).
Make sure that no objects which apply forces to the seat are present
(e.g. objects such as books, briefcases etc. lodged underneath, behind
or around the seat). Such forces may cause the system to sense that
an occupant of a lesser weight than actually present is on the front
passenger seat.
Keep the seat unoccupied, close the front passenger door and switch
on the ignition ( page 40).
