Main components of occupantdetection system
A detection device located within the front passenger seat track.
Electronic system to determine whether passenger air bag sys-
tems should be activated or deac-
tivated.
An indicator light located on the instrument panel which illuminates
the words PASSENGER AIR BAG
“OFF” indicating the front passen-
ger air bag system is deactivated.
The instrument panel air bag warn- ing light is interconnected with the
occupant detection system. If the front passenger seat is occu-
pied by a person that the system
determines to be of adult size, and
he/she sits properly (sitting upright
with the seatback in an upright posi-
tion, centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs comfort-
ably extended and their feet on the
floor), the PASSENGER AIR BAG
“OFF” indicator will turn off and the
front passenger's air bag will be able
to inflate, if necessary, in frontal
crashes.
You will find the PASSENGER AIR
BAG “OFF” indicator on the center
facia panel. This system detects the
conditions 1~4 in the following table
and activates or deactivates the front
passenger air bag based on these
conditions.
Always be sure that you and all vehi-
cle occupants are seated and
restrained properly (sitting upright
with the seat in an upright position,
centered on the seat cushion, with
the person’s legs comfortably
extended, feet on the floor, and wear-
ing the safety belt properly) for the
most effective protection by the air
bag and the safety belt. The ODS (Occupant Detection
System) may not function properly if
the passenger takes actions which
can defeat the detection system.
These include:
(1) Failing to sit in an upright position.
(2) Leaning against the door or cen- ter console.
(3) Sitting towards the sides or the front of the seat.
(4) Putting legs on the dashboard or resting them on other locations
which reduce the passenger
weight on the front seat.
(5) Improperly wearing the safety belt.
(6) Reclining the seat back.
(7) Wearing a thick cloth like ski wear or hip protection wear.
(8) Put on the seat an additional thick cushion.

wheel, and accelerator pedal.
When DRIVE MODE button is pressed and the SMART MODE is
selected, SMART indicator will illu-
minate on the dashboard.
The color of the SMART MODE indicator light will depend on the
driving style. If the driving style is
economic, average, and speedy,

Below is a summary of the automatic drive mode control depending on the usage of the steering wheel, engine and transaxle system.
SMART MODE an intelligent driving mode and when the driving style is economic and fuel efficient, the SMART ECO MODE will be automatically
selected. The engine and transaxle system will become more fuel efficient,
but the actual fuel economy will depend on various driving factors (on
uphill/ downhill, heavy revving or braking).
If you make sudden accelerations or turns in SMART MODE, the intelligent mode will select SMART SPORT MODE. This may decrease fuel efficien-
cy.
