A front passenger is seated as shown

in the following 

fi

gure:

A rear passenger pushes up on the

front passenger seat with their feet.

Luggage or other items placed under

the front passenger seat or between

the front passenger seat and driver

seat that push up the front passenger

seat bottom.

Any accessories which might

decrease the total seated weight on

the front passenger seat are attached

to the front passenger seat.

The front passenger front and side air

bags and knee air bags, and the seat

belt pretensioner system will

deactivate if the front passenger air

bag deactivation indicator light

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.

A rear passenger or luggage push or

pull down on the front passenger

seatback.
