Occupant Detection System - Subaru 2014 BRZ Owner's Manual

If the seatbelt buckle switch and/or front passenger’' s occupant detection
system have failed, the SRS airbag system warning light will illuminate.
Have the system inspected by your SUBARU dealer immediately if the SRS
airbag system warning light illuminates.
If your vehicle has sustained impact, this may affect the proper function of
the SUBARU advanced frontal airbag system. Have your vehicle inspected
at your SUBARU dealer. Do not use the front passenger’' s seat while driving
the vehicle to your SUBARU dealer.
NOTE
The front passenger’' s SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag are not con-
trolled by the SUBARU advanced frontal airbag system.

Occupant detection system

I
The occupant detection system sensor is installed under the seat upholstery
and monitors the physique and posture of the front passenger. Using this
information, the occupant detection system determines whether the front
passenger’'s SRS frontal airbag should be deployed or not.
If the front passenger’' s seat cushion is wet, this may adversely affect the
ability of the system to determine deployment. If the seat cushion is wet, the
front passenger should stop sitting on the front passenger’' s seat. Wipe off
liquid from the seat immediately, let the seat dry naturally and then check the
SRS airbag system warning light as follows.
If the SRS airbag system warning light illuminates, keep the seat dry until
G
the warning light turns off. If the SRS airbag system warning light stays
on even when the seat has dried, do not allow anyone to sit on the front
passenger’' s seat and have the system checked by your SUBARU dealer.
If the SRS airbag system warning light does not illuminate, check that the
G
front passenger’'s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators work properly. If
the indicators do not work properly, do not allow anyone to sit on the front
passenger’' s seat and have the system checked by your SUBARU dealer.
