WARNING
l No objects that add to the total weight on the seat should be placed on \
the front passenger's seat. If a
child is seated in the front passenger's seat with any additional weight\
, this extra weight could cause the
OWS system to enable the airbag, which might cause it to deploy in the e\
vent of a collision, thereby
injuring the child.
l The seat belt should never be wrapped around an object on the front pass\
enger's seat. This could
interfere with the OWS system's function.
l The front passenger's seat belt should never be used in a way that exert\
s more pressure on the
passenger than normal. This could increase the pressure exerted on the w\
eight sensor by a child, and
could result in the airbag being enabled, which might cause it to deploy\
in the event of a collision,
thereby injuring the child.
WARNING
Keep the following points in mind with respect to the OWS system. Failur\
e to follow these instructions
could adversely affect the system's function and result in serious injur\
y to the occupant of the front
passenger's seat:
l The full weight of the front seat passenger should always be on the seat\
cushion. The passenger
should never lift him/herself off the seat cushion using the armrest in \
the door or the center console, by
pressing the feet on the floor, by sitting on the edge of the seat cushi\
on, or by pressing against the
backrest in a way that reduces pressure on the seat cushion. This could \
cause OWS to disable the
passenger's side front airbag.
l Do not place any type of object on the front passenger's seat in such a \
way that jamming, pressing, or
squeezing occurs between the object and the front seat, other than as a \
direct result of the correct use of
the ALR/ELR seat belt (see
page 32).
l No objects should be placed under the front passenger's seat. This could\
interfere with the OWS
system's function.
