below 20 km/h (12 mph).
NOTE
 To allow the passenger occupant
classification sensor to function
properly, do not place and sit on
an additional seat cushion on the

not operate.

period of time has elapsed, the beep sound
will not stop even if the vehicle speed falls

sensor to function properly, do not place
and sit on an additional seat cushion
on the passenger's seat. The sensor
may not function properly because the
