Knowing your vehicle
Occupant classification system
The occupant classification system
detects the presence of a passenger in
the front passenger’s seat and will turn
off the front passenger’s air bag under
certain conditions.
The occupant classification system is
designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated occupant and determine
if the front passenger’s air bag should be
enabled (may inflate) or not.
If the passenger in the front passenger’s
seat is very small, (such as a child), the
front PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indica-
tor may go ON.
When this indicator is ON, the front pas-
senger’s air bag will not operate.
If there is no passenger in the front pas-
senger's seat, the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator comes on, and the
system shuts off not only the front pas-
senger's front air bag but also the front
passenger’s side air bag.
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 comfort-
ably extended, feet on the floor, and
wearing the safety belt properly) for the
most effective protection by the air bag
and the safety belt.
• The OCS may not function properly if
the passenger takes actions which can
defeat the detection system. These
include:
(1) Failing to sit in an upright position.
(2) Leaning against the door or center
console.
(3) Sitting towards the sides or the front
of the seat.
(4) Putting legs on the dashboard or rest-
ing them on other locations which
reduce the passenger weight on the
front seat.
(5) Improperly wearing the safety belt.
(6) Reclining the seat back.
