Do not allow an occupant in the front passenger's seat to sit with a posture which makes it
difficult for the front passenger occupant classification sensor to detect the occupant
correctly:
Sitting in the front passenger's seat with a posture which makes it difficult for the front
passenger occupant
classification sensor to detect the occupant correctly is dangerous. If the
front passenger occupant
classification sensor cannot detect the occupant sitting on the front
passenger's seat correctly, the front passenger front and side air bags and pretensioner
system may not operate (non-deploy) or they may operate (deploy) accidentally. The front
passenger will not have the supplementary protection of the air bags or the accidental
operation (deployment) of the air bags could result in serious injury or death.

¾An object, such as a seat cushion, is put on the front passenger's seat or between the
passenger's back and the seatback.
¾A seat cover is put on the front passenger's seat.
¾Luggage or other items are placed on the seat with the child in the child-restraint system.
¾A rear passenger or luggage push or pull down on the front passenger seatback.
¾Luggage or other items are placed on the seatback or hung on the head restraint.
¾The seat is washed.
