FRONT PASSENGER OCCUPANTCLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant
classification system. This system detects the conditions
1 Ð 4 in the table shown below, and based on these
conditions activates or deactivates the airbags. The
system monitors the weight and load on the front
passenger seat, and the seat belt buckle switch in
determining conditions 1 Ð 4.
In order for the system to detect the conditions correctly,
do not do any of the following:
 Apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat or equipment
(e.g. armrest).
 Attach a commercial seatback table, etc. to the front
passenger seatback.
 Put weight on the front passenger seat by putting your
hands or feet on the seat seatback from the rear passenger
seat.
The ªAIRBAG OFFº indicator lights will be illuminated
when the ignition switch is in the ªONº position and a child
or child restraint system is in the front passenger seat (see
table±condition 2). This indicates that in the event of a
severe frontal or passenger's side impact, the front
passenger airbag and side airbag on the front passenger
seat are deactivated and will not deploy.
