*3: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.
*4: For some children, child in se at, child in booster seat or child in convertible seat, the sys-

WARNING
■Front passenger occupant classifica-
tion system precautions
Observe the following precautions
regarding the front passenger occupant
classification system. Failure to do so may
cause death or serious injury.
●Wear the seat belt properly.
●Make sure the fron t passenger’s seat
belt plate has not been left inserted
into the buckle before someone sits in
the front passenger seat.
●Make sure the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light is not illuminated when
using the seat belt extender for the
front passenger seat. If the “AIR BAG
OFF” indicator light is illuminated, dis-
connect the extender tongue from the
seat belt buckle, and reconnect the
seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt
extender after making sure the “AIR
BAG ON” indicator light is illumi-
nated. If you use the seat belt extender
while the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator
light is illuminated, the SRS airbags for
the front passenger will not activate,
which could cause death or serious
injury in the event of a collision.
●Do not apply a heavy load to the front
passenger seat or equipment (e.g.
seatback pocket).
