—Front passenger occupant
classification system
Your vehicle is equipped with a front
passenger occupant classification sys-
tem. This system detects the conditions
1—4 in the table on page 66 and based
on these conditions activates or deacti-
vates front passenger airbags. The sys-
tem monitors the weight and load on
the front passenger seat, and the seat
belt buckle switch to determine condi-
tions 1—4. In order for the system to
detect the conditions correctly, do not
do any of the following.
D
Put a heavy load on the front passen-
ger seat.
D
Attach a seatback table to the front
passenger seatback.
D
Put weight on the front passenger by
putting your hands or feet on the front
passenger seatback from the rear pas-
senger seat.

The front passenger occupant classifi-
cation indicator light indicates the ac-
tuation of the front passenger airbag,
side airbag on the front passenger seat
and front passenger's seat belt preten-
sioner.
The indicator light will indicate "OFF"
when the ignition switch is in 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:
D
A rear passenger lifts the front passen-
ger seat cushion with their legs.
D
Objects are placed under the front pas-
senger seat.
D
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 ignition key is
turned to the "ON" position.
about four seconds, it will go off. After
that, the front passenger occupant clas-
sification system operates and judges
whether to indicate "ON" or "OFF".
