The front passenger occupant classifi-
cation indicator light indicates the ac-
tuation of the front passenger airbag
and front passenger's seat belt preten-
sioner.
The indicator light will indicate "OFF"
when the ignition key is turned to the
"ON" position with the condition 2. in the
table shown below.
If the front passenger occupant classifica-
tion system determines that a person of
adult size sits in the front passenger seat
but the "OFF" indicator is illuminated, one
of the following is likely to have occurred:
82
"
A rear passenger lifts the front passen-
ger seat cushion with their legs.
"
Objects are placed under the front pas-
senger seat.
"
The front passenger seatback is in
contact with the rear seat.
To ensure the system correctly detects an
adult sitting in the front passenger seat,
make sure the above do not occur.
Make sure that the "ON" indicator is illu-
minated when an adult is seated in the
front passenger seat. If the "OFF" indica-
tor is illuminated, ask the passenger to sit
up straight, well back in the seat, and
with the seat belt worn correctly. If the
"OFF" indicator still remains illuminated,
either ask the passenger to move to the
rear seat, or if that is not possible, move
the front passenger seat fully rearward.
The front passenger occupant classifi-
cation indicator light will indicate "ON"
and "OFF" when the "IG- ON" mode is
enabled. After about 4 seconds, it will
go off. After that, the front passenger
occupant classification system operates
and judges whether to indicate "ON" or
"OFF".
