frontal airbag despite the fact that
the seat is occupied by an adult.This may result in personal injury. Do not allow the rear seat occu-
pant to lift the front passenger's
seat cushion using his/her feet.Do not place any article under the
front passenger's seat, or
squeeze any article from behind
