WARNING!

Occupants in the front passenger seat sitting improp-
erly may cause the OCS to not classify the passen-
ger’s weight accurately. This may result in serious
injury or death in a collision. Always wear your seat
belt and sit properly, with the seat back in an upright
position, your back against the seat back, sitting
upright, facing forward, in the center of the seat, with
your feet comfortably on or near the floor. Do not
carry or hold any objects (e.g., backpacks, boxes, etc.)
while seated in the front passenger seat. Holding an
object may cause the OCS to not classify the passen-
ger’s weight accurately, which may result in serious
injury or death in a collision.

The OCS may not classify the front passenger properly if:

• 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

around

• The front passenger seatback is not in the full upright

position

• The front passenger carries or holds an object while

seated (e.g., backpack, box, etc.)
