Seating Position
Warning: Always sit upright against the seat backrest and
with both feet on the floor. If you do not sit correctly or with
the seat backrest reclined too far this can alter the
capacitance read by the OCS and affect the functionality of
the front passenger sensing system, resulting in serious
injury or death in a crash.
After all passengers have adjusted their seats and put on safety
belts, its very important that they continue to sit correctly. A
correctly seated passenger sits upright, leaning against the seat
backrest, and centred on the seat cushion, with their feet

increase the chance of injury in a crash event. For example, if a
passenger slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans
forward or side ways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of
injury during a crash is greatly increased.

cushion, with the person's legs comfortably extended.
3. Start the engine and have the person stay in this position for
about two minutes. This will let the system detect that
person and set the passenger's front airbag to on.

These conditions can cause the weight of a correctly seated
passenger to be incorrectly interpreted by the front passenger
sensing system. The person in the front passenger seat can appear
heavier or lighter due to the conditions described.
