Sitting with their back against the seatback
and the seatback in an upright position
Lighter Weight Passengers (Including
Small Adults)
When a lighter weight passenger, including a
small adult, occupies the front passenger seat,
the OCS may reduce the inflation rate of the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag. This does
not mean that the OCS is working improperly.
Do not decrease OR increase the front pas-
senger’s seated weight on the front passen-
ger seat
The front passenger’s seated weight must be
properly positioned on the front passenger seat.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or
death. The OCS determines the most probable
classification of the occupant that it detects.
The OCS will detect the front passenger’s de-
creased or increased seated weight, which may
result in an adjusted inflation rate of the Pas-
senger Advanced Front Air Bag in a collision.
This does not mean that the OCS is working
improperly.
Decreasing the front passenger’s seated weight
on the front passenger seat may result in a
reduced-power deployment of the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag. Increasing the front
passenger’s seated weight on the front passen-
ger seat may result in a full-power deployment
of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag.
Examples of improper front passenger seating
include:
•
The front passenger’s weight is transferred to
another part of the vehicle (like the door, arm
rest or instrument panel).
•
The front passenger leans forward, side-
ways, or turns to face the rear of the vehicle.
•
The front passenger’s seatback is not in the
full upright position.
•
The front passenger carries or holds an
object while seated (e.g., backpack, box,
etc.)
•
Objects are lodged under the front passen-
ger seat.
•
Objects are lodged between the front pas-
senger seat and center console.
•
Accessories that may change the seated
weight on the front passenger seat are at-
tached to the front passenger seat.
•
Anything that may decrease or increase the
front passenger’s seated weight.
