Do not increase the total seated weight on the front passenger seat:
When an infant or small child sits on the passenger seat, increasing the total seated
weight on the passenger seat from the total seated weight of approximately 30 kg
(66 lb) is dangerous. The passenger seat weight sensors will detect the increased
total seated weight, which could result in the unexpected deployment of the
passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner system in an accident
and may cause serious injury. Increasing the total seated weight on the passenger
seat beyond the total seated weight of approximately 30 kg (66 lb) could result in
the passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner system deployment
in an accident under the following conditions, for example:
Ø The total seated weight of the child with the child-restraint system on the
passenger seat is approximately 30 kg (66 lb) or more.
Ø Luggage or other items are placed on the seat with the child in the child-restraint
system.
Ø The seat is washed.
Ø Liquids are spilled on the seat.
Ø The passenger seat is moved backward, and it is pushed into luggage or other
items placed behind it.
Ø Luggage or other items are placed between the passenger seat and center
console.
Ø Any accessories which might increase the total seated weight on the passen ger
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 passen ger seat is less than approximately
30 kg (66 lb) and they will reactivate when the weight exceeds approximately 42 kg
(93 lb).
CAUTION
Ø To assure proper deployment of the front air bag and to prevent damage to the
sensors in the seat bottoms:
Ø
Do not place sharp objects on the seat bottoms or leave heavy luggage on
them.
Ø
Do not spill any liquids on the seats or under the seats.
Ø To allow the sensors to function properly, always perform the following:
Ø
Adjust the seats as far back as possible and always sit upright against the
seatbacks with seat belts worn properly.
Ø
If you place your child on the passenger seat, secure the child-restraint system
properly and slide the passenger seat as far back as possible.
