OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYS-
TEM
Your vehicle is equipped with an occu-
pant classification system in the front
passenger's seat. The Occupant Classi-
fication system is designed to detect the
presence of a properly-seated front pas-
senger and determine if the passenger's
front airbag should be enabled (may in-
flate) or not. The driver's front airbag is
not affected or controlled by the Occu-
pant Classification System.
Main components of occupant clas-
sification system
o A detection device located within the
front passenger seat cushion.
o Electronic system to determine whether
passenger airbag systems (both front
and side) should be activated or deac-
tivated.
o A warning light located on the instru-
ment panel which illuminates the words
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicat-
ing the front passenger airbag system
is deactivated.
o The instrument panel airbag warning
light is interconnected with the occu-
pant classification system.

If the front passenger seat is occupied by
a person that the system determines to be
of adult size, and he/she sits properly
(sitting upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their feet on the
floor), the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator will be turned off and the front
passenger's airbag will be able to inflate,
if necessary, in frontal crashes.
You will find the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator on the center facia panel.
The following table summarizes the func-
tioning of the system depending on the
front passenger seat occupant.
