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
Make sure the front passenger oc-
cupant classification indicator light
indicates "ON" when using the seat
belt extender for the front passen-
ger seat. If the indicator light indi-
cates "OFF", disconnect the extend-
er tongue from the seat belt buckle,
then reconnect the seat belt. Recon-
nect the seat belt extender after
making sure the indicator light indi-
cates "ON". If you use the seat belt
extender while the indicator light
indicates "OFF", the front passen-
ger airbag and side airbag on the
front passenger side may not acti-
vate correctly, which could cause
death or serious injury in the event
of collision.
D
CAUTION Do not recline the front passenger
seatback so far that it touches a
rear
"OFF" indicator to be illuminated,
which indicates that
ger's airbags will not deploy in the
event of a severe accident. If the
seatback touches the rear seat, re-
turn the seatback to a position
where it does not touches the rear
seat.
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.
D
If an adult sits in the front passen-
ger seat, the occupant classification
indicator light should indicate "ON".
If the "OFF" indicator
nated, 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" indica-
tor still remains illuminated, either
ask the passenger to move to the
rear seat, or if that is not possible,
move the front passenger seat fully
rearward.
