Noise and smoke from inflating
airbag
When the airbags inflate, they make a
loud noise and may produce smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the
ignition of the airbag inflator. After the
airbag inflates, you may feel substantial
discomfort in breathing because of the
contact of your chest with both the seat
belt and the airbag, as well as from
breathing the smoke and powder. The
powder may aggravate asthma for some
people. If you experience breathing
problems after an airbag deployment,
seek medical attention immediately.
Though the smoke and powder are
nontoxic, they may cause irritation to the
skin, eyes, nose, throat, etc. If this is the
case, wash and rinse with cold water
immediately and seek medical attention if
the symptoms persist.
Occupant Classification
System (OCS)
B3003102
Your vehicle is equipped with an
Occupant Classification System (OCS) in
the front passenger’s seat.
Main components of the Occupant
Classification System
• A detection device located within the front passenger seat cushion.
• Electronic system to help determine whether the passenger airbag systems
should be activated or deactivated.
• An indicator light located on the overhead console which illuminates the
words “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF”
indicating the front passenger airbag
system is deactivated.
• The instrument cluster airbag indicator light is interconnected with the OCS.
The OCS is designed to help detect the
presence of a properly-seated front
passenger and determine if the
passenger’s front airbag should be
enabled (may inflate) or not.
The purpose is to help reduce the risk of
injury or death from an inflating airbag to
certain front passenger seat occupants,
such as children, by requiring the airbag
to be automatically turned off.
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 airbag to turn off.
Front passenger seat adult occupants
who are properly seated and wearing the
seat belt properly, should not cause the
passenger airbag to be automatically
turned off. For smaller adults it may turn
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 airbag off.
You will find the “PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF” indicator on the overhead console
panel. This system detects the conditions
1-4 in the following table and activates or
deactivates the front passenger airbag
based on these conditions.
Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated properly and
