WARNING
Do not decrease the total seated
weight on the front passenger seat:
When an adult or large child sits on the
front passenger seat, decreasing the
total seated weight on the front
passenger seat required for air bag
deployment is dangerous. The front
passenger seat weight sensors will
detect the reduced total seated weight
condition and the front passenger front
and side air bags and knee air bags,
and the seat belt pretensioner system
will not deploy during an accident. The
front passenger will not have the
supplementary protection of the air
bag , which could result in serious
injury. Decreasing the total seated
weight on the front passenger seat
could result in an air bag not deploying
under the following conditions, for
example:
A front passenger is seated as shown
in the following figure:
A rear passenger pushes up on the
front passenger seat with their feet.

illuminates.
Do not increase 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 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
knee air bags, and seat belt
pretensioner system in an accident and
may cause serious injury. Increasing the
total seated weight on the front
passenger seat could result in the front
passenger front and side air bags and
knee 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 system.
The front passenger seat contacts the
vehicle ceiling.A rear passenger or luggage push or
pull down on the front passenger
seatback.
A rear passenger steps on the front
passenger seat rails with their feet.
Luggage or other items are placed on
the seatback or hung on the head
restraint.
Heavy items are placed in the
seatback map pocket.
The seat is washed.
Liquids are spilled on the seat.
The front passenger seat is moved
backward, pushing into luggage or
other items placed behind it.
The front passenger seatback
contacts the rear seat.
Luggage or other items are placed
between the front passenger seat
and driver seat.
Any accessories which might increase
the total seated weight on the front
passenger seat are attached to the
front passenger seat.
CAUTION
To assure proper deployment of the
front air bag and to prevent damage
to the sensors in the front seat
bottoms:
Do not place sharp objects on the
front seat bottoms or leave heavy
luggage on them.
