Safety features of your vehicle
Always be sure that you and all vehi-
cle occupants are seated properly
and wearing the seat belt properly for
the most effective protection by the
air bag and the seat belt.
• The OCS may not function proper-
ly if the passenger takes actions
which can affect the classification
system. These include:
(1) Failing to sit in an upright posi-
tion.
(2) Leaning against the door or
center console.
(3) Sitting towards the sides or the
front of the seat.
(4) Putting their legs on the dash-
board or resting them on other
locations which reduce the pas-
senger weight on the front seat.
(5) Wearing the safety belt improp-
erly.
(6) Reclining the seat back.
*1) The system judges a person of adult
size as an adult. When a smaller adult
sits in the front passenger seat, the
system may recognize him/her as a
child depending on his/her physique
and posture.
*2) Never install a child restraint system
on the front passenger seat.
*3) The PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF”
indicator may turn on or off when a
child under age13 (with or without child
restraint system) or without child
restraint system) sits in the front pas-
senger seat. This is a normal condition.
