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 deter-
mine if the front passenger's air bag
should be enabled (may inflate) or
not.
Only the front passenger air bag is
controlled by the Occupant
Classification System.
Main components of occupant
classification system
• A detection device located within
the front passenger seat cushion.
• Electronic system to determine
whether passenger air bag system
should be activated or deactivated.
• A indicator light located on the
instrument panel which illuminates
the words "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicating the frontal passen-
ger air bag system is deactivated.
• The instrument panel air bag warn-
ing light is interconnected with the
occupant classification system.
If there is no passenger in the front
passenger seat or if the passenger in
the front passenger seat is very light,
(such as a child), the front PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF indicator may
illuminate.
When this indicator is ON, the front
passenger front air bag will not
deploy.
