The OCS may have detected that the seat:

R

is empty or occupied by the weight of a

typical child up to twelve months old,

seated in a child restraint system.

R

is occupied by a small individual, such as a

young teenager or a small adult.

R

is occupied by a child in a child restraint

system whose weight is greater than that

of a typical twelve month old child.

These are examples of when the OCS

deactivates the front-passenger front air bag.

Deactivation takes place although the

collision fulfills the criteria for deploying the

driver's air bag.
For further information, see "Air bag display

messages" (

WARNING

Objects between the seat surface and the

child restraint system could affect the

function of the OCS. This could result in the

front-passenger front air bag not functioning

as intended during an accident. This poses an

increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Do not place any objects between the seat

surface and the child restraint system. Make

sure that the bottom and back of the child

restraint system make full contact with the

front-passenger seat cushion and backrest.

Always comply with the child restraint system

manufacturer's installation instructions.
