o Before you replace a fuse or discon-
nect a battery terminal, turn the igni-
tion key to the "LOCK" position and
remove the ignition key. Never re-
move or replace the airbag related
fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the

WARNING:
The occupant classification system cre-
ates a field which is designed to detect
the presence of a properly-seated front
passenger and determine if the
passenger's front air bag should be en-
abled (may inflate) or not. The driver's
front air bag is not affected or controlled
by the occupant classification system.
Main components of occupant clas-
sification system
• An Electronic Capacity measurement
system in the front passenger seat
which detects major characteristics of
a person or object on the seat.
• Electronic system to determine whether
the passenger air bag systems (both
front and side) should be activated or
deactivated.
• A warning light located on the instru-
ment panel which illuminates the words
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicat-
ing the front passenger air bag system
is deactivated.
• The instrument panel air bag warning
light is interconnected with the occu-
pant classification system.
OMC029200N
Occupant classification system
Your vehicle is equipped with an occu-
pant classification system in the front
passenger's seat.
If the front passenger seat is occupied by
a person that the system determines to be
of an appropriate size, and he/she sits
properly, the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator will be turned off and the
front passenger's air bag will be able to
inflate, if necessary, in frontal crashes
(sitting properly means sitting upright with
the seatback in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion with their seat
belt on, legs comfortably extended and
their feet on the floor).
You will find the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator on the center facia panel.
This system detects the conditions 1~4 in
the following table and activates or deac-
tivates the front passenger air bag based
on these conditions.
