The OCS determines the front passenger's most
probable classification. The OCS estimates the
seated weight on the front passenger seat and
where that weight is located. The OCS
communicates the classification status to the
ORC. The ORC uses the classification to
determine whether the Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag inflation rate should be adjusted.
In order for the OCS to operate as designed, it is
important for the front passenger to be seated
properly and properly wearing the seat belt.
Properly seated passengers are:
Sitting upright

Facing forward

Front Passenger Air Bag Output
Sitting in the center of the seat with their feet

comfortably on or near the floor
Sitting with their back against the seatback

