Knowing your vehicle

Front passenger’s air bag
Front passenger’s air bag is stored in the
instrument panel on the glove box.
Since you cannot know which air bags
will deploy or from what direction, never
put any objects or ornaments on the
instrument panel.
Occupant classification system
The occupant classification system
detects the presence of a passenger in
the front passenger's seat and will turn off
the front passenger's air bag under cer-
tain conditions.
The occupant classification system is
designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated occupant and determine
if the front passenger's air bag should be
enabled (may inflate) or not.
Main components of occupant classi-
fication system
• A detection device located within the
front passenger seat cushion.
• Electronic system to determine
whether passenger air bag systems
(both front passenger’s front and side
air bag only) should be activated or
deactivated.
• A warning light located on the instru-
ment panel which illuminates the
words "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
passenger air bag system is deactivat-
ed.
• The instrument panel air bag warning
light is interconnected with the occu-
pant classification system.
