Front Passenger Occupant Detection
Cybertruck has an occupancy sensor in the front passenger seat that controls the status of the front airbag.
NOTE: The occupancy classification system (OCS) meets the regulatory requirement of FMVSS 208 and
automatically detects when inflating the passenger front airbag would be unnecessary or potentially harmful.
WARNING: Seating an infant in a rear facing child restraint system on a seat equipped with an operational
airbag can cause serious injury or death.

*If the passenger airbag status indicator does not match the situation, do not use the seat. The passenger must
ride in a different seat. Schedule a service appointment.
NOTE: It takes approximately six seconds after you power on Cybertruck for the occupant classification system
(OCS) to report accurate status of the front passenger airbag. As a result, when you first power on Cybertruck, even
in situations when it should be OFF because the seat is occupied by a weight of 20 lbs (9 kg) or less, it will take the
touchscreen approximately six seconds to display the status, PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF. If it fails to do so, schedule
a service appointment and do not seat a child in the front passenger seating position.
To make sure the sensing system can correctly detect occupancy status, eliminate the following:
• Objects lodged under the seat.
• Heavy objects sitting on the seat (briefcase, large purse).
• Objects wedged between the seat back and seat cushion.
• Cargo interfering with the seat.
• Aftermarket items attached to, or sitting on or between, the seat and occupant including but not limited to
covers, mats, blankets, etc.
These conditions can interfere with the occupancy sensor. If you have eliminated the above possibilities, and the
airbag status is still incorrect, ask passengers to ride in the rear seats and schedule a service appointment to have
the airbag system checked.
NOTE: The front passenger occupancy sensor affects the operation of the passenger front airbags only. The side
airbags are not affected.
WARNING: If the front passenger airbag is not turning on or off as expected based on the weight thresholds
previously described, schedule a service appointment immediately.
