The OCS determines the front passenger’s most probable

classification. The OCS estimates the seated weight on

the front passenger seat and where that weight is located.

The OCS communicates the classification status to the

ORC. The ORC uses the classification to determine

whether the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag inflation

rate should be adjusted.
In order for the OCS to operate as designed, it is important

for the front passenger to be seated properly and properly

wearing the seat belt. Properly seated passengers are:

• Sitting upright
• Facing forward
• Sitting in the center of the seat with their feet comfort-

ably on or near the floor

• Sitting with their back against the seatback and the

seatback in an upright position

Lighter Weight Passengers (Including Small Adults)
When a lighter weight passenger, including a small adult,

occupies the front passenger seat, the OCS may reduce the

inflation rate of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag.

This does not mean that the OCS is working improperly.
