Driver and Front
Passenger Occupant
Classification System
The Driver and Front Passenger
Occupant
Classification System
reduces the possibility of injury due to
the deployment of the driver air bag
and the front passenger airbag by
determining the deployment energy of
the driver air bag and whether or not
the front passenger airbag should be
deployed based on the driver seat slide
position sensor and the front
passenger seat weight sensor.
Driver Seat Slide Position Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with a driver
seat slide position sensor as a part of
the supplemental restraint system. The
sensor is located under the driver seat.
The sensor determines whether the
driver's seat is forward of or behind a
reference position and sends the seat
position to the diagnostic module (SAS
unit). The SAS unit is designed to
control the deployment of the driver's
air bag depending on how close the
driver's seat is to the steering wheel.
During an impact of moderate severity,
the driver's air bag deploys with lesser
energy, whereas during more severe
impacts and when the driver's seat is
behind the reference position, it
deploys with more energy.
Front Passenger Seat Weight Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with a front
passenger seat weight sensors as a part
of the supplemental restraint system.
These sensors are located under both
of the front passenger seat rails. These
sensors determine the total seated
weight on the front passenger seat and
monitor the seat belt buckle for the
front passenger seat. The SAS unit is
designed to prevent the front
passenger front and side air bags and
knee air bags, and seat belt
pretensioner system from deploying if
the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates.
To reduce the chance of injuries
caused by deployment of the front
passenger air bag, the system
deactivates the front passenger front
and side air bags and knee air bags,
and also the seat belt pretensioner
system when the front passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light
illuminates.

Warnings and Cautionsfor Using the Steering Wheel
WARNING
Never adjust the steering wheel while
the vehicle is moving.
Adjusting the steering wheel while the
vehicle is moving is dangerous. Moving
it can very easily cause the driver to
abruptly turn to the left or right. This
can lead to loss of control or an
accident.
After adjusting the steering wheel
position, make sure it is securely
locked by trying to move it up and
down.
Driving with the steering wheel not
securely locked in position is
dangerous. If the steering wheel moves
unexpectedly while driving, you could
lose control of the steering resulting in
an accident.

Powe r Sw i tc h
Press the power switch to start/stop
the hybrid system or to switch the
vehicle power position (OFF/ACC/
ON).
Vehicle power position
OFF
All electrical accessories cannot be
used.
ACC
Some electrical accessories such as
audio can be used.
ON
All electrical accessories can be used.
Warning and Cautions forUsing the Power Switch
WARNING
Before leaving the driver's seat,
always switch the vehicle power off,
set the parking brake, and make sure
the selector lever is in the P position.
Leaving the driver's seat without
switching the vehicle power off, setting
the parking brake, and shifting the
selector lever to the P position is
dangerous. Unexpected vehicle
movement could occur which could
result in an accident. In addition, if
your intention is to leave the vehicle for
even a short period, it is important to
switch the vehicle power position to
OFF, as leaving it in another position
will disable some of the vehicle's
security systems and run the lead-acid
battery down.
Radio waves from the key may affect
medical devices such as pacemakers.
Before using the key near people who
use medical devices, ask the medical
device manufacturer or your physician
if radio waves from the key will affect
the device.
Other than for an emergency
situation, do not attempt to stop the
hybrid system while driving the
vehicle.
If the hybrid system is stopped while
driving the vehicle, loss of brake power
and power steering functions could
occur, making it difficult to control the
vehicle which could result in an
accident.
