How the Occupant Classification System (OCS)
System Works
The Occupant Classification System (OCS) will classify
an occupant in the front passenger seat into a size
category based on sensor readings from within the seat
cushion. Occupants should try to remain in a normally
seated position. If the occupant’s weight is transferred to
another object in the vehicle (i.e. feet on the dashboard),
the OCS may not be able to properly approximate
occupant size. Furthermore, the occupant size may ap-
pear to increase or decrease due to objects hanging on the
seat, other passengers pushing on the seat, or objects
lodged underneath the seat. If there is a rapid change in
temperature or humidity, the OCS may not be able to
properly approximate occupant size. If your seat includ-
ing your trim cover and cushion needs to be serviced in
any way, take the vehicle to your authorized dealer. Only
manufacturer approved seat accessories may be used. If
there is a fault present in the system, the AIRBAG
warning light will light indicating that you should take
the vehicle to an authorized dealer. In the presence of an
occupant in the passenger seat, if both the PAD indicator
light (located in the center console) and AIRBAG warn-
ing light (located in the instrument cluster) are illumi-
nated the airbag will be disabled. The ORC will not allow
front airbag deployment in the event of a collision for
occupants classified into the empty or child size catego-
ries. The PAD indicator light will illuminate indicating
that the Passenger Airbag is OFF when the OCS has
determined that the occupant size category is a child.
Also, when the seat is empty or an object that weighs less
than a predetermined threshold is placed on the seat, the
light will remain OFF. (The PAD indicator light is an
amber light located in the center console.) For almost all
sizes of properly seated adults, the passenger frontal
airbag will be enabled in the event of a collision. For
small teenagers and some small adults, depending on
size, the airbag may or may not be enabled in the event
of a collision. Both drivers and passengers should always
use the PAD indicator light as an indication if the front
passenger is properly positioned or not. If the PAD
indicator light comes on when an adult is in the passen-
ger seat, have the passenger re-position themselves in the
seat until the light goes out. Remember, if the PAD
indicator light is illuminated the passenger front airbag
