WARNING
Vehicles with the Occupant Classification
System (OCS):
If the gross weight of the objects in the
stowage net on the back of the front-
passenger seat is greater than 4.4 lb (2 kg),
OCS cannot correctly assess the occupant's
weight category. The front-passenger front air
bag could deploy without cause, or may fail to
deploy in the event of an accident. This poses
an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Never exceed the permissible gross weight of
4.4 lb (2 kg). Stow and secure heavy objects
in the cargo compartment.
