SAFETY 177
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 on the over-
head sports bar
Air Bag Warning Light
Passenger Seat Belt
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
passenger’s most probable classification. The
OCM communicates this information to the
ORC. The ORC uses the classification to deter-
mine 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
Seated Properly
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.
The front passenger is not properly seated or
his or her weight is taken off of the seat for a
period of time.
