Occupant safety
When the OCS senses that the front pas-
senger seat occupant is classified as being
heavier than the weight of a typical
12-month-old child seated in a standard
child restraint or as being a small individu-
al (such as a young teenager or a small
adult), the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indica-
tor lamp will illuminate for approximately
6 seconds when the engine is started and
then, depending on occupant weight sen-
sor readings from the seat, remain illumi-
nated or go out. With the PASSENGER
AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp illuminated,
the front passenger front airbag is deacti-
vated. With the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF
indicator lamp out, the front passenger
front airbag is activated.
When the OCS senses that the front pas-
senger seat occupant is classified as an
adult or someone larger than a small indi-
vidual, the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indica-
tor lamp will illuminate for approximately
6 seconds when the engine is started and
then go out, indicating that the front pas-
senger front airbag is activated.
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
lamp is illuminated, the front passenger
front airbag is deactivated and will not be
deployed.
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
lamp is not illuminated, the front passen-
ger front airbag is activated and will be de-
ployed:
앫 in the event of certain frontal impacts
앫 if impact exceeds a preset deployment
threshold
앫 independently of the side impact
airbags
If the front passenger front airbag is de-
ployed, the rate of inflation will be influ-
enced by:
앫 the rate of relevant vehicle decelera-
tion as assessed by the airbag control
unit
앫 front passenger’s weight category as
identified by the Occupant
Classification System (OCS).
Warning! G
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the front
seating position. Thus, we strongly recom-
mend that children be placed in the rear
seats whenever possible. Regardless of
seating position, children 12 years old and
under must be seated and properly se-
cured in an appropriate infant or child re-
straint recommended for the size and
weight of the child.
The infant or child restraint must be prop-
erly secured with the vehicle’s seat belt,
the seat belt and top tether strap, or lower
anchors and top tether strap, fully in accor-
dance with the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions.
Always sit nearly upright, properly use the
seat belts and for children 12 years old and
under, use an appropriately sized infant or
toddler restraint or booster seat recom-
mended for the size and weight of the
child.
