—Front passenger occupant
classification system
Your vehicle is equipped with a front
passenger occupant classification sys-
tem. This system detects the conditions
1—4 in the table on page 87 and based
on these conditions activates or deacti-
vates the following systems;
D
Front passenger airbag
D
Side airbag on the front passenger
seat
D
Front passenger's seat belt pretension-
er
The system monitors the weight and
load on the front passenger seat, and
the seat belt buckle switch to determine
conditions 1—4.
In order for the system to detect the
conditions correctly, do not do any of
the following:
D
Apply a heavy load to the front pas-
senger seat or equipment (e.g. armrest
or seatback pocket).
D
Attach a commercial seatback table,
etc. to the front passenger seat seat-
back.
D
Put weight on the front passenger seat
by putting your hands or feet on the
seatback from the rear passenger seat.

The "AIRBAG ON" and "AIRBAG OFF"
indicator lights indicate the actuation of
the front passenger airbag, side airbag
on the front passenger seat and front
passenger's seat belt pretensioner.
The "AIRBAG OFF" indicator light will be
illuminated when the ignition switch is in
the "ON" position with the condition 2 in
the table shown below.
If the front passenger occupant classifica-
tion system determines that a person of
adult size sits in the front passenger seat
but the "AIRBAG OFF" indicator light is
illuminated, one of the following is likely
to have occurred:
D
A rear passenger lifts the front passen-
ger seat cushion with their legs.
D
Objects are placed under the front pas-
senger seat.
D
The front passenger seatback is in
contact with the second seat.
To ensure the system correctly detects an
adult sitting in the front passenger seat,
make sure the above do not occur.
Make sure that the "AIRBAG ON" indicator
light is illuminated when an
seated in the front passenger seat. If the
"AIRBAG OFF" indicator light is illumina-
ted, ask the passenger to sit up straight,
well back in the seat, and with the seat
belt worn correctly. If the "AIRBAG OFF"
indicator light still remains illuminated, ei-
ther ask the passenger to move to the
rear seat, or if that is not possible, move
the front passenger seat fully rearward.
