OWS because there is very little weight on the vehicle seat cushion. In these cases the passenger's side front
airbag may be disabled, but the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will not be lit. Do not assume that
the passenger's side front airbag is disabled unless the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit. Make
sure the child restraint is properly installed (turn the vehicle off, remove the child restraint from the vehicle and
reinstall the restraint following the child restraint manufacturer's instructions) and that the PASSENGER
AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is on, or move the child restraint to the rear seat.

Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS)
Have the person sit upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion, with the person's legs
comfortably extended.
Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for about two minutes. This will allow
the system to detect that person and enable the passenger's frontal airbag.
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp remains on even after this, the person should be
advised to ride in the rear seat.
This condition reflects limitations of the OWS classification capability. It does not indicate OWS
malfunction.
Modifications
If you are considering modifying your vehicle in any way to accommodate a disability, for example by
altering or adapting the driver's or front passenger's seat(s) and/or airbag systems, please contact Volvo
