166 SAFETY
Occupant Classification Module (OCM) And
Sensor
The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) is
loc
ated 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
determine 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
P
as
senger 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.
