Occupant classification system
Your vehicle is equipped with an occu-
pant classification system in the front
passenger's seat.
The occupant classification system is
designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated front passenger and
determine if the passenger's front air bag
should be enabled (may inflate) or not.
The driver's front air bag is not affected
or controlled by the occupant classifica-
tion system.
Main components of occupant classi-
fication system
• A detection device located within the
front passenger seat track.
• Electronic system to determine
whether the passenger air bag sys-
tems (both front and side) should be
activated or deactivated.
• A warning light located on the instru-
ment panel which illuminates the
words PASS AIR BAG "OFF" indicating
the front passenger air bag system is
deactivated.
• This instrument panel air bag warning
light is interconnected with the occu-
pant classification system.
If the front passenger seat is occupied by
a person that the system determines to
be of adult size, and he/she sits properly
(sitting upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their feet on the
floor), the PASS AIR BAG "OFF" indica-
tor will be turned off and the front pas-
senger's air bag will be able to inflate, if
necessary, in frontal crashes.
You will find the PASS AIR BAG "OFF"
indicator on the center facia panel. This
system detects the conditions 1~4 in the
following table and activates or deacti-
vates the front passenger air bag based
on these conditions.
