Safety system of your vehicle
WARNING
(Continued)
•
Do not sit over a sharp object,
such as a tool, in the front
passenger's seat. This may
adversely affect the occupant
classification system.
•
Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the occupant
classification system, never
install a child restraint system
in the front passenger's seat. A
deploying air bag may forcefully
strike a child, resulting in seri-
ous injury or death. Any child
age 12 and under should ride in
a rear seat. Children too big for
a child restraint should use the
available lap/shoulder belts. No
matter what type of a crash
occurs, children of all ages are
safer, when restrained in a rear
seat.
•
•
Do not use an accessory seat
cover over the front passen-
ger's seat.
Accident statistics show that
children
are
safer,
when
restrained in a rear than in the
front. It is recommended that
all child restraints be secured
in a rear seat, including a rear-
facing infant seat, a forward-
facing child seat and a boost-
er seat
•
When the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator illumi-
nates with an adult's occupa-
tion in the front passenger's
seat, he/she sits properly (sit-
ting in an upright position,
and sitting on the center of
the seat cushion with their
seat belt fastened, legs com-
fortably extended and their
feet on the floor), have that
person sit in a rear seat.
Do not modify or replace the
front passenger's seat. Do not
place or attach any items, such
as a blanket or seat heater, on
the front passenger's seat.
This may adversely affect the
occupant classification sys-
tem.
•
Air bags can be used only
once – have an authorized
EQUUS dealer replace the air
bag
immediately
after
a
deployment.
• A tiny adult's incorrect seat-
ing (i.e. excessively reclining,
leaning toward the door or the
center console, or slanting
forward) may cause a condi-
tion where the advanced front
passenger's air bag system
senses less weight than occu-
pant's the actual weight (when
properly sitting in an upright
position, and sitting on the
center of the seat cushion
with their seat belt fastened,
legs comfortably extended
and their feet on the floor).
•
•
When
the
weight
load
is
changed in the front passen-
ger's seat, the PASSENGER
"AIR BAG OFF" indicator may
flash ON and OFF for a few sec-
onds, enabling and disabling
the front passenger's air bag.
This condition may result in
misclassification of an occu-
pant and illumination of the
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator.
