WARNING

Do not decrease the total seated weight on the passenger seat:

When an adult or large child sits on the passenger seat, decreasing the total seated
weight on the passenger seat from the total seated weight of approximately 42 kg
(93 lbs) required for air bag deployment is dangerous. The passenger seat weight
sensors will detect the reduced total seated weight condition and the passenger front
and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner system will not deploy during an
accident. The passenger will not have the supplementary protection of the air bag,
which could result in serious injury. Decreasing the total seated weight on the
passenger seat from the total seated weight of approximately 42 kg (93 lbs) could
result in an air bag not deploying under the following conditions, for example:

Ø

Luggage or other items placed under the passenger seat or between the passenger
seat and center console that push up the passenger seat bottom.

Ø

The passenger seat occupant sits in a manner such that the occupant's entire
weight is not placed on the seat sitting too close to the door.

Ø

Any accessories which might decrease the total seated weight on the passenger
seat are attached to the passenger seat.

The passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner systems will
deactivate if the total seated weight on the passenger seat is close to 30 kg (66 lbs)
and they will reactivate before the weight exceeds 42 kg (93 lbs).
