SAFETY 287
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 overhead 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 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 comfort-
ably 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.
