Safety features of your vehicle
Occupant classification system
Your vehicle is equipped with an occu-
pant classification system in the front
passenger's seat.
The occupant classification system is
designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated front passenger and
determine if the passenger's front air bag
should be enabled (may inflate) or not.
The driver's front air bag is not affected
or controlled by the occupant classifica-
tion system.
Main components of occupant
classification system
• A detection device located within the
front passenger seat frame.
• Electronic system to determine whether
the front passenger air bag system
should be activated or deactivated.
• A warning light located on the instrument
panel which illuminates the words PAS-
SENGER AIR BAG "OFF" indicating the
front passenger air bag system is deacti-
vated.
• The instrument panel air bag warning
light is interconnected with the occupant
classification system.
The purpose is to help reduce the risk of
injury or death from an inflating air bag to
certain front passenger seat occupants,
such as children, by requiring the air bag
to be automatically turned OFF.
For example, if a child restraint of the
type specified in the regulations is on the
seat, the occupant classification sensor
can detect it and cause the air bag to turn
OFF.
(Continued)
• Before you replace a fuse or dis-
connect a battery terminal, turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK
position and remove the ignition
key for ignition key, and turn the
engine start/stop button to the
OFF position for smart key. Never
remove or replace the air bag
related fuse(s) when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
Failure to heed this warning will
cause the SRS air bag warning
light to illuminate.
