THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
Ind icator Light. The PAD Ind icator Light will be off
when teenagers, most child ren and most child ren in
forw ard -facing seats are in the front passenger seat.
The system is only requ ired to turn the PAD Ind icator
Light on in the unlikely event that a rear-facing infant
seat is installed in front passenger seat.
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 .
NOTE: Child ren 12 years and und er shou ld alw ays rid e
buckled up in a rear seat in an approp riate child restraint.

Drivers and adult passengers shou ld verify that the PAD
Ind icator Light is not illuminated when they are 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 .
