OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
Occupant classification system - front passenger seat
The system can determine if the passenger seat is occupied using
weight sensors in the seat base and by checking the seat belt buckle
engagement on the passenger seat belt. The passenger front air bag
will not be active unless a specific weight is exceeded. This allows
child restraint systems to be used on the passenger seat.
The status of the air bags is indicated by the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF warning light (arrowed) on the overhead console.
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF warning light illuminates when the
ignition is switched on and extinguishes after 5 seconds.
The warning light will remain illuminated if the passenger seat is
unoccupied or if a child seat is fitted.
NOTE: The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF warning light is always
illuminated unless the specific weight is exceeded.
