determine whether the front passenger airbag should
be turned off. It also determines the rate of airbag
inflation during a collision.

• The Passenger Airbag Disabled (PAD) Indicator

Light

indicates to the driver and passenger when the

airbag is turned OFF. In the presence of a properly
seated occupant, when the PAD indicator light is
illuminated, the airbag is OFF. Also, when the Occu-
pant Classification System detects either an empty seat
or a weight less than the predetermined threshold, the
ORC will not illuminate the PAD indicator light even
though the airbag is turned OFF.

• Your vehicle has four Weight Sensors located between

the seat and the floor pan. The weight sensors measure
applied weight and transfers that information to the
OCM.

The front passenger seat assembly contains critical com-
ponents that affect the front passenger airbag deploy-
ment. Correctly functioning front passenger seat compo-
nents are critical for the Occupant Classification System

(OCS) to properly classify the front passenger and calcu-
late the proper airbag deployment. Do not make any
modifications to the front passenger seat components,
assembly, or to the seat cover.

WARNING!

Unapproved modifications or service procedures to
the front passenger seat assembly, its related compo-
nents, or seat cover may inadvertently change the
airbag deployment in case of a frontal crash. THIS
COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
TO THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER IF THE VE-
HICLE IS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. A modi-
fied vehicle may not comply with required Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).

The following requirements must be strictly adhered to:

• Do not modify the front passenger seat assembly or

components in any way.

• Do not modify the front seat center console or center

position seat in any way.
