decreased or increased seated weight, which may result
in deactivation or activation of the Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag in a collision. This does not mean that the
OCS is working improperly. Decreasing the front passen-
ger’s seated weight on the front passenger seat may
result in deactivation of the Passenger Advanced Front
Air Bag causing serious injury or death. Increasing the
front passenger’s seated weight on the front passenger
seat may result in activation of the Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag. Examples of improper front passenger
seating include:
• The front passenger’s weight is transferred to another
part of the vehicle (like the door, arm rest or instru-
ment panel).
• The front passenger leans forward, sideways or turns
to face the rear of the vehicle.
• The front passenger’s seatback is not in the full upright
position.
• The front passenger carries or holds an object while
seated (e.g., backpack, box, etc.).
• Objects are lodged under the front passenger seat.
• Objects are lodged between the front passenger seat
and center console.
• Accessories that may change the seated weight on the
front passenger seat are attached to the front passenger
seat.
• Anything that may decrease or increase the front
passenger’s seated weight.
