Consumer Description

IF CELL PHONE PLACED ON THE PASSENGER SEAT, IT COULD CAUSE A FALSE SEAT BELT LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. I NOTICED WHILE CHARGING MY PHONE THROUGH THE USB PORT AND THE PHONE IS CHARGING; I CAN REPEAT THE INCIDENT OVER AND OVER. IT IS UNCLEAR IF THE AIRBAGS ARE FUNCTIONAL AT THIS TIME. THIS COULD HAPPEN IN MOTION AT ANY SPEED (HIGHWAY/CITY) OR WHILE STATIONARY.
