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 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:
