Increasing the Total Seated Weight on the Front Passenger Seat:
When an infant or small child sits on the front passenger seat, increasing the total
seated weight on the front passenger seat from the total seated weight of
approximately 30 kg (66 lb) is dangerous. The front passenger seat weight sensors will
detect the increased total seated weight, which could result in the unexpected
deployment of the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner
system in an accident and serious injury. Increasing the total seated weight on the
front passenger seat beyond the total seated weight of approximately 30 kg (66 lb)
could result in the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner
system deployment in an accident under the following conditions, for example:
Luggage or other items are placed on the seat with the child in the child-restraint
l
system.
A rear passenger or luggage push or pull down on the front passenger seatback.
l
A rear passenger steps on the front passenger seat rails with the feet.
l
Luggage or other items are placed on the seatback or hung on the assist grip, head
l
restraint.
The seat is washed.
l
Liquids are spilled on the seat.
l
The front passenger seat is moved backward, pushing into luggage or other items
l
placed behind it.
The front passenger seatback contacts the rear seat.
l
Luggage or other items are placed between the front passenger seat and driver seat.
l
Any accessories which might increase the total seated weight on the front passenger
l
seat are attached to the front passenger seat.
The front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner systems will
deactivate if the total seated weight on the front passenger seat is close to 30 kg (66 lb)
and they will reactivate before the weight exceeds 42 kg (93 lb).
