not affect the deployment of the seat belt pre-
tensioner or the passenger curtain airbag.
The occupancy sensor system meets the
regulatory requirement of FMVSS 208 and
automatically detects when deployment of the
front passenger airbag may be unnecessary or
potentially harmful.
A status message on the overhead console
indicates whether the front passenger airbag is
currently OFF.
You should always check whether the
passenger airbag status indicator shows the
correct status for the current seat occupancy.
If you think the passenger airbag status is
incorrect, check for the following:
- Objects lodged underneath the seat
- Objects wedged between the seat
cushion and the center console
- Objects hanging off the back off the seat
- Cargo interference with the seat
- Rear-seat passengers pushing or pulling
on the front passenger seat
Any of the conditions listed above may cause
the occupancy sensor to incorrectly interpret
the weight of the occupant or object as either
heavier or lighter than the real weight.
Depending on the input received from the
occupancy sensor, the passenger airbag status
indicator operates as follows:

A low-weight object or occupant is classified
as weighing less than 52 lb (23.5 kg). The
movement of a low-weight occupant or object
while your vehicle is in motion may cause the
status indicator to switch states occasionally.
*2
Never install a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger seat. A forward-
facing child restraint system should only be
installed on the front passenger seat when it
is unavoidable.
*3
For some children (a child in a seat, booster
seat, or convertible seat), the system may not
recognize them as a child. Factors that may
affect this can be the physique or posture.
*4
The system judges a person of adult size as
an adult. When a smaller adult sits in the front
passenger seat, the system may not recognize
them as adults, depending on their physique
and posture.
Note: It is possible to receive an intermittent
indicator status with an empty seat. This is
part of the system's behavior and it does
not affect the status of the front passenger
airbags. However, if the status indicator is
not permanently illuminated when the seat
is empty, contact a Lucid Service Center
immediately.
If you still believe that the airbag status
indicator is incorrect, have your passenger ride
in the rear of the vehicle and contact a Lucid
Service Center to have the system checked.
