Safety features of your vehicle
C040301AXM-EUCondition and operation in the front passenger occupant detection system*1) The ODS system uses a field to evaluate a person's size to determine whether theair bag should deploy. It is possible for a child to be detected and activate the ODS,
thus allowing the airbag to deploy. To maximize safety, do not allow children to ride
in the front passenger seat.
*2) Never install a child restraint system on the front passenger seat.
WARNING
Riding in an improper position or
placing weight on the front passen-
ger's seat when it is unoccupied by
a passenger adversely affects the
Occupant Detection System (ODS).
Your ODS is designed to resist
electronic waves, but do not place
an electronic device (ex. laptop
computer, after market DMB/navi-
gation/satellite audio, video game
machine, MP3, etc.) on or near the
seat cushion since it may defeat
the proper functioning of the ODS
or turn on the air bag warning light. (Continued)
