THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
The OCS classifies an occupant using weight sensors
mounted in the base of the front passenger seat. Any
weight on the seat will be sensed by the system . Objects
hanging on the seat or other passengers pushing down
on the seat will also be sensed . The weight of an adult
will cause the system to turn the airbag on. In this case,
the OCS has classified the occupant of the seat as an
adult. An adult occupant need s to sit in a norm al position
(with their feet on or near the floor) in ord er to be
prop erly classified . Reclining the seat back too far may
change how an occupant is classified by the OCS.
this can also affect occupant classification. Also, if you
fold down the rear seat check to be sure it doesn ’t tou ch
the front passenger seat.
If the front passenger seat is damaged in any way, it
shou ld only be serviced by an authorized dealer. If the
seat is rem oved (or even if the seat attachm ent bolts are
loosened or tightened in any way), take the vehicle to an
authorized dealer.
If there is a fault present in the OCS, the Airbag Warning
Light (a red light located in the center of the instru ment
cluster directly in front of the driver) will be turned on.
This ind icates that you shou ld take the vehicle to an
authorized dealer. The Airbag Warning Light is turned on
whenever there is fault that can affect the operation of the
airbag system . If there is a fault present in the OCS, both
the PAD Ind icator Light and the Airbag Warning Light
are illuminated to show that the passenger airbag is
turned off until the fault is cleared . If an object is lodged
und er the seat and interferes with operation of the weight
sensors, a fault will occur which turns on both the PAD
Drivers and adult passengers shou ld verify that the PAD
Ind icator Light is not illuminated when an adult is rid ing
in the front passenger seat. If an adult occupant ’s weight
is transferred to another part of the vehicle (like the door
or instru ment panel), the weight sensors in the seat may
not prop erly classify the occupant. Objects lodged und er
the seat or betw een the seat and the center console can
prevent the occupant ’s weight from being measu red
prop erly and may resu lt in the occupant being improp -
erly classified . Ensu re that the front passenger seat back
does not tou ch anything placed on the back seat becau se
