Front passenger occupant classification system precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding front passenger occupant clas-
sification system.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
●
Wear the seat belt properly.
●
Make sure the front passenger's seat belt tab has not been left inserted
into the buckle before someone sits in the front passenger seat.
●
Make sure the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is not illuminated when using
the seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the AIR BAG OFF
indicator light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue from the seat
belt buckle, then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender
after making sure the AIR BAG ON indicator light is illuminated. If you use
the seat belt extender while the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated,
the front passenger airbag may not activate correctly, which could cause
death or serious injury in the event of collision.
●
Do not place a heavy load on the front passenger seat or equipment (e.g.
seatback table).
●
Do not apply pressure to the front passenger seat by resting hands or legs
on the seatback.
●
Do not let a rear passenger lift the front passenger seat with their feet or
press on the seatback with their legs.
●
Do not put objects under the front passenger seat.
●
Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a rear
seat or a back wall. This may cause the AIR BAG OFF indicator light to be
illuminated, which indicates that the passenger's airbags will not deploy in
the event of a severe accident. If the seatback touches the rear seat or
back wall, return the seatback to a position where it does not touch the
rear seat or back wall. Keep the front passenger seatback as upright as
possible when the vehicle is moving. Reclining the seatback excessively
may lessen the effectiveness of the seat belt system.
