Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS)
WARNING!
Keep the following points in mind with
respect to the OWS system. Failure to follow
these instructions could adversely affect the
system’s function and result in serious injury
to the occupant of the front passenger’s seat:
•
The full weight of the front seat passenger
should always be on the seat cushion. The
passenger should never lift him/herself off
the seat cushion using the armrest in the
door or the center console, by pressing the
feet on the floor, by sitting on the edge of
the seat cushion, or by pressing against the
backrest in a way that reduces pressure on
the seat cushion. This could cause OWS to
disable the front, passenger’s side airbag.
•
Do not place any type of object on the
front passenger's seat in such a way that
jamming, pressing, or squeezing occurs
between the object and the front seat,
other than as a direct result of the correct
use of the ALR/ELR seat belt (see page
21).
•
No objects should be placed under the
front passenger’s seat. This could interfere
with the OWS system’s function.
