as indicated in the front passenger air

bag deactivation indicator light on/o

ff

condition chart, do not allow a child to

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:
