ample, some pole collisions, truck underrides,
and angle offset collisions.
On the other hand, depending on the type and
location of impact, front air bags may deploy in
crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but
that produce a severe initial deceleration.
Because air bag sensors measure vehicle de-
celeration over time, vehicle speed and damage
by themselves are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your protection in
all collisions, and also are needed to help keep
you in position, away from an inflating air bag.
When the ORC detects a collision requiring the
front air bags, it signals the inflator units. A large
quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate
the front air bags.
The steering wheel hub trim cover and the upper
right side of the instrument panel separate and
fold out of the way as the air bags inflate to their
full size. The front air bags fully inflate in less
time than it takes to blink your eyes. The front air
bags then quickly deflate while helping to re-
strain the driver and front passenger.
Occupant Classification System (OCS) —
Front Passenger Seat
The OCS is part of a Federally regulated safety
system for this vehicle. It is designed to activate
or deactivate the Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bag depending on the occupant’s seated
weight. It is designed to deactivate the Passen-
ger Advanced Front Air Bag for an unoccupied
seat and for occupants whose seated weight
classifies them in a category other than a prop-
erly seated adult. This could be a child, teen-
ager, or even an adult.
The Occupant Classification System (OCS)
Consists Of The Following:
•
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
•
Occupant Classification Module (OCM) and
Sensor located in the front passenger seat
•
Passenger Air Bag Disabled (PAD) Indicator
Light – an amber light located in the center of
the instrument panel
•
Air Bag Warning Light
Occupant Classification Module (OCM) And
Sensor
The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) is
located underneath the front passenger seat.
The Sensor is located beneath the passenger
seat cushion foam. Any weight on the seat will
be sensed by the Sensor. The OCM uses input
from the Sensor to determine the front passen-
ger’s most probable classification. The OCM
communicates this information to the ORC. The
ORC uses the classification to determine
whether it should activate or deactivate the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag. In order for
the OCS to operate as designed, it is important
for the front passenger to be seated properly
and properly wearing the seat belt. Properly
seated passengers are:
•
Sitting upright.
•
Facing forward.
•
Sitting in the center of the seat with their feet
comfortably on or near the floor.
•
Sitting with their back against the seat back
and the seat back in an upright position.
The OCS may deactivate the deployment of the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag if the OCS
estimates that:
•
The front passenger seat is unoccupied or
has very light objects in it.
•
The front passenger seat is occupied by a
rear-facing child restraint.
•
The front passenger seat is occupied by a
child, including a child seated in a forward-
facing child restraint or booster seat.
•
The front passenger seat is occupied by a
small passenger, including a child or small
adult.
