probable classification of the occupant that it
detects. The OCS will detect the front pas-
senger's decreased or increased seated
weight, which may result in an adjusted in-
flation rate of the Passenger Advanced Front
Air Bag in a collision. This does not mean that
the OCS is working improperly. Decreasing
the front passenger's seated weight on the
front passenger seat may result in a reduced-
power deployment of the Passenger Ad-
vanced Front Air Bag. Increasing the front
passenger's seated weight on the front pas-
senger seat may result in a full-power deploy-
ment 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 ve-
hicle.

• 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.
The OCS determines the front passenger's
most probable classification. If an occupant
in the front passenger seat is seated improp-
erly, the occupant may provide an output
signal to the OCS that is different from the
occupant's properly seated weight input, for
example:
