The passenger front air bag will only be
deployed if:
The side impact air bags 1 and window
curtain air bags 2 are deployed:
The front air bags in this vehicle have
been designed to inflate in two stages.
This allows the air bag to have different
rates of inflation that are based on the
rate of relevant vehicle deceleration as
assessed by the air bag control unit.
ț
the system, based on OCS weight sen-
sor readings, senses that the front pas-
senger seat is occupied
ț
ț
on the impacted side of the vehicle
in impacts exceeding a preset deploy-
ment threshold
ț
ț
the 75 indicator lamp in the
center console is not lit (୴ page 85)

independently of the front air bags
On the front passenger side, the front
air bag deployment is additionally influ-
enced by the passenger’s weight cate-
gory as identified by the Occupant
Classification System (OCS)
In addition, the window curtain air bags 2
are deployed:
the impact exceeds a preset deploy-
ment threshold
ț
in certain vehicle rollovers
Side impact air bags, window curtain
air bags
The side impact air bags 1 and window
curtain air bags 2 are not deployed in im-
pacts which do not exceed the system’s
deployment threshold.
(୴ page 81).
The lighter the front passenger side oc-
cupant, the higher the vehicle deceler-
ation rate required for the second
stage inflation of the air bag.
The air bags will not deploy in impacts
which do not exceed the system’s deploy-
ment thresholds. You will then be protect-
ed by the fastened seat belts.
