Occupant Classification System (OCS) — Front
Passenger Seat
The OCS is part of a Federally regulated safety system for
this vehicle.

The Occupant Classification System (OCS) consists of the
following:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
• Occupant Classification Module (OCM) located in the

front passenger seat

• OCS Sensor located in the front passenger seat
• Air Bag Warning Light

The OCS will NOT prevent deployment of the passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag. The OCS may reduce the
inflation rate of the passenger Advanced Front Air Bag if
the sensors estimate that:
• The front passenger seat is unoccupied or has very

light objects in it; or

• The front passenger seat is occupied by a small pas-

senger, including a child; or

• The front passenger seat is occupied by a rearward

facing infant seat; or
