Proper seated position for OCS
OIK033131
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator is on when an adult is seated in
the front passenger seat, place the Engine
Start/Stop button in the OFF position and
ask the passenger to sit properly (sitting
upright with the seat back in an upright
position, centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the floor).
Restart the engine and have the person
remain in that position. This will allow the
system to detect the person and to enable
the passenger airbag. If the "PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF" indicator is still on, ask the
passenger to move to the rear seat.
NEVER allow an adult passenger to ride in
the front passenger seat when the
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator is
illuminated. During a collision, the airbag
will not inflate if the indicator is
illuminated. Have your passenger
reposition themselves in the seat. If the
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator
remains illuminated after the passenger
repositions themselves properly and the
vehicle is restarted, have the passenger
move to the rear seat because the airbag
will not inflate.
The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator
generally illuminates for about 4 seconds
after the Start/Stop button is in the ON or
START position. But, if the Start/Stop
button is pressed to the ON or START
position within 3 minutes after the vehicle
is turned OFF, the indicator does not
illuminate. If the front passenger seat is
occupied, the OCS will then classify the
front passenger after several more
seconds.
Do not install a Child Restraint
System on the Front Passenger's
Seat
2C_AirbagPartsWarning
Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the OCS, never install a child
restraint in the front passenger's seat. An
inflating airbag can forcefully strike a
child or child restraint resulting in serious
or fatal injury.
• NEVER place a rearward-facing or
forward-facing child restraint in the
front passenger's seat of the vehicle.
• An inflating frontal air bag could
forcefully strike a child resulting in
serious injury or death.
• Always properly restrain children in an
appropriate child restraint in the rear
seat of the vehicle.
