Seats & Safety System3-46
For example, if a child restraint of the
type specified in the regulations is on the
seat, the occupant classification sensor
can detect it and cause the air bag to
turn OFF.
Front passenger seat adult occupants
who are properly seated and wearing the
seat belt properly, should not cause the
passenger air bag to be automatically
turned OFF. For small adults it may be
turned OFF, however, if the occupant
does not sit in the seat properly (for
example, by not sitting upright, by sitting
on the edge of the seat, or by otherwise
being out of position), this could cause
the sensor to turn the air bag OFF.
You will find the “PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF” indicator on the overhead console.
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 vehicle
occupants are seated properly and
wearing the seat belt properly for the
most effective protection by the air bag
and the seat belt.
Never install a Child Restraint System in
the front passenger’s seat. If you should
install a CRS (Child Restraint System)
inevitably, use a forward-facing CRS with
3-point ALR safety seat belt and adjust
the front passenger’s seat as far to the
rear as possible. If the PASSENGER AIR
BAG “OFF” indicator is OFF after a CRS
(Child Restraint System) is equipped,
the front passenger’s airbag is operating
so you should install the CRS in the rear
seats of the vehicle immediately. The OCS may not function properly if the
passenger takes actions which can affect
the classification system. These include:
[
Failing to sit in an upright position.
[ Leaning against the door or center
console.
[ Sitting towards the sides of the front
of the seat.
[ Putting their legs on the dashboard or
resting them on other locations which
reduce the passenger weight on the
front seat.
[ Wearing the seat belt improperly.
[ Reclining the seatback.
[ Wearing a thick cloth like ski wear or
hip protection wear.
[ Putting an additional thick cushion on
the seat.
[ Putting electrical devices (for
example, notebook, satellite radio) on
the seat with inverter charging.

*1 : The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller adult sits in the
front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her as a child depending on his/her
physique and posture.
*2 : Do not allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. When a larger child who has
outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front passenger seat, the system may
recognize him/her as an adult depending upon his/her physique or sitting position.
*3 : Never install a child restraint system on the front passenger seat.
*4 : The PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF” indicator may turn on or off when a child above 12
months to 12 years old (with or without child restraint system) sits in the front passenger
seat. This is a normal condition.

Air bag inflation conditions
OCN7H030006
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a fr
ontal collision depending on the
severity of impact of the front collision.
OCN7H030007
OCN7H030003
Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are designed
t
o inflate when an impact is detected by
side collision sensors depending on the
severity of impact resulting from a side
impact collision.
Although the driver’s and front
passenger’s air bags are designed to
inflate only in frontal collisions, they also
may inflate in other types of collisions
if the front impact sensors detect a
sufficient impact. Side and curtain air
bags are designed to inflate only in side
impact collisions or rollover situations,
but they may inflate in other collisions
if the side impact sensors detect a
sufficient impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved roads,
the air bags may deploy. Drive carefully
on unimproved roads or on surfaces not
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent
unintended air bag deployment.
Air bag non-inflation conditions
OCN7H030008
In certain low-speed collisions the air
bags may not deploy. The air bags are
designed not to deploy in such cases
because they may not provide benefits
beyond the protection of the seat belts.
