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
 Sitting in the center of the seat with their feet comfort-
ably on or near the floor
 Sitting with their back against the seatback and the
seatback in an upright position
Seated Properly
Lighter Weight Passengers (Including Small Adults)
When a lighter weight passenger, including a small adult,
occupies the front passenger seat, the OCS may reduce
the inflation rate of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag.
This does not mean that the OCS is working improperly.
Do not decrease OR increase the front passenger's seated
weight on the front passenger seat
The front passenger's seated weight must be properly
positioned on the front passenger seat. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury or death. The OCS determines the most
probable classification of the occupant that it detects. The OCS
will detect the front passenger's decreased or increased seated
weight, which may result in an adjusted inflation 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
Advanced Front Air Bag. Increasing the front passenger's
seated weight on the front passenger seat may result in a
full-power deployment of the Passenger Advanced Front
Air Bag.
Examples of improper front passenger seating 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, sideways, or turns
to face the rear of the vehicle.
 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 passenger seat.
 Objects are lodged between the front passenger seat
and center console.
 Accessories that may change the seated weight on
the front passenger seat are attached 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 improperly, the occupant may provide an output
signal to the OCS that is different from the occupant's
properly seated weight input, for example:
Not Seated Properly
