• Sitting with their back against the seatback
and the seatback in an upright position
Lighter Weight Passengers (Including Small
Adults)
When a lighter weight passenger, including a
small adult, occupies the front passenger
seat, the OCS may reduce the inflation rate of
the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag. This
does not mean that the OCS is working im-
properly.
Do not decrease OR increase the front passen-
ger’s seated weight on the front passenger seat
The front passenger’s seated weight must be
properly positioned on the front passenger
seat. Failure to do so may result in serious
injury or death. The OCS determines the most
probable classification of the occupant that it
detects. The OCS will detect the front passen-
ger’s decreased or increased seated weight,
which may result in an adjusted inflation rate
of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag in a
collision. This does not mean that the OCS is
working improperly. Decreasing the front pas-
senger’s seated weight on the front passenger
seat may result in a reduced-power deploy-
ment of the Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bag. Increasing the front passenger’s seated
weight on the front passenger seat may result
in a full-power deployment of the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag.
Examples of improper front passenger seat-
ing include:
• The front passenger’s weight is transferred
to another part of the vehicle (like the door,
arm rest or instrument panel).
• The front passenger leans forward, side-
ways, or turns to face the rear of the vehicle.
• The front passenger’s seatback is not in the
full upright position.
• The front passenger carries or holds an
object while seated (e.g., backpack, box,
etc.).
• Objects are lodged under the front passen-
ger seat.
• Objects are lodged between the front pas-
senger seat and center console.
• Accessories that may change the seated
weight on the front passenger seat are at-
tached to the front passenger seat.
• Anything that may decrease or increase the
front passenger’s seated weight.
