both the “PAD Ind icator Light” and the “Airbag Warning
Light” are illuminated to show that the passenger airbag

The Driver and Passen ger Airb ag/In flator Units are
located in the center of the steering wheel and the right
side of the instru ment panel. When the ORC detects a
collision requ iring the airbags, it signals the inflator
units. A large quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to
inflate the front airbags. Different airbag inflation rates
are possible, based on collision severity and occupant
size. The steering wheel hu b trim cover and the upper

The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) is lo-
cated beneath the front passenger seat. The OCM
classifies the occupant into categories based on the
measu rem ents made by the seat weight sensors. The
OCM communicates with the Occupant Restraint Con-
trol (ORC) Mod ule. The ORC uses the occupant cat-
egory to determ ine whether the front passenger airbag
shou ld be turned off. It also determ ines the rate of
airbag inflation during a collision.
