WARNING
n Front passenger occupant classification system precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the front passenger occupant classification system. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
lWear the seat belt properly.
lMake sure the front passenger’ s seat belt plate has not been left inserted into the buckle before
someone sits in the front passenger seat. lMake sure the“ AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is not illuminated
when using the seat belt
extender for the front passenger seat. If the“ AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated, disconnect 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 illuminated. 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.
lDo not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat or equipment( e. g. seatback pocket).
lDo not put weight on the front passenger seat by putting your hands or feet on the front passenger seat seatback from the rear passenger seat.
