Front Passenger Seat Occupant Classification System (OCS)
WARNING: Lucid strongly advises against seating a child on the front passenger seat, even
if the passenger airbag is Off. All occupants age 12 and under should ride in the rear seats.
See Child Safety Locks on page 21.
WARNING: The full weight of the front seat passenger should always be directly on the
seat cushion. The passenger should never lift themselves off the seat cushion by using
the armrest in the door or the center console, by pressing their feet on the floor, by
sitting on the edge of the seat cushion, or by pressing against the backrest in a way that
reduces pressure on the seat cushion. The passenger should never place anything (such
as a cushion) between themselves and the seat that could cause OCS to disable the front
passenger's airbag.
Deployment of the front passenger airbag is not always beneficial for small or lower-weight
occupants and could be harmful to children/infants in restraint systems.
The front passenger seat is fitted with an occupancy sensor that controls the status of the front
passenger airbag based on the weight of the occupant.
Note: The occupancy sensor system only controls the deployment of the front passenger airbags
and passenger side airbag. It does not affect the deployment of the seat belt pre-tensioner or the
passenger curtain airbag.
The occupancy sensor system meets the regulatory requirement of FMVSS 208 and automatically
detects when deployment of the front passenger airbag may be unnecessary or potentially harmful.
A status message on the overhead console indicates whether the front passenger airbag is
currently OFF.
You should always check whether the passenger airbag status indicator shows the correct status
for the current seat occupancy.
