Air bag - Advanced Supplemental Restraint
System
Occupant Detection System (ODS)
Your vehicle is equipped with an
Occupant Detection System (ODS) in
the front passenger's seat.
The ODS 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. Only
the front passenger front air bag is
controlled by the ODS.
Do not put anything in front of the
PASSENGER AIR BAG(
) indicator.
Main components of the ODS
䳜 A detection device is located
within the front passenger seat
cushion.
䳜 An electronic system determines
whether the passenger air bag
systems should be activated or
deactivated.

pied by a person that the system
determines to be of appropriate
size, and he/she sits properly (sit

ting upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the
seat cushion with their seat belt on,
legs comfortably extended and their
feet on the floor), the PASSENGER
AIR BAG (
) indicator will turn off
and the front passenger's air bag
will be able to inflate, if necessary,
in frontal crashes.
You will find the PASSENGER AIR
BAG (
) indicator on the overhead
console. This system detects the
conditions 1 ~ 4 in the following
table and activates or deactivates
the front passenger air bag based
on these conditions.
Always be sure that you and all
vehicle occupants are seated and
restrained properly (sitting upright
with the seat in an upright position,
centered on the seat cushion, with
the person's legs comfortably
extended, feet on the floor, and
wearing the safety belt properly)
