Lighter Weight Passengers (Including Small
Adults)
When a lighter weight passenger, including a
small adult, occupies the passenger seat, the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag may be
deactivated. Therefore, the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag may or may not be
activated for a lighter weight passenger,
including a small adult (depending on size)
who is seated in the passenger seat. This
does not mean that the OCS is working
improperly.
The driver and passenger must always use
the PAD Indicator Light as a determination
of whether the Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bag is activated or deactivated. If the PAD
Indicator Light is illuminated with the words
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” when an adult
is in the front passenger seat, have the
passenger reposition his or her body in the
seat until the PAD Indicator Light goes out.
If the PAD Indicator Light is illuminated with
the words “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag will not
inflate in the event of a collision.
Do Not Decrease OR Increase The Front
Passenger Seat Weight
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 decreased or increased seated
weight, which may result in deactivation or
activation of the Passenger 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 deactivation of the Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag causing serious injury or death.
Increasing the front passenger’s seated
weight on the front passenger seat may result
in activation 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
passenger seat.
Objects are lodged between the front
passenger seat and center console.
Accessories that may change the seated
weight on the front passenger seat are
attached to the front passenger seat.
Anything that may decrease or increase
the front passenger’s seated weight.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint
in the front seat of a vehicle. Only use a
rear-facing child restraint in the rear
seat. If the vehicle does not have a rear
seat, do not transport a rear-facing child
restraint in that vehicle.
Children 12 years or younger should
always ride buckled up in the rear seat of
a vehicle with a rear seat.
