Refer to “Front passenger’s frontal airbag
ON and OFF indicators” F3-13.
! Occupant detection system
The occupant detection system sensor is
installed under the seat upholstery and
monitors the physique and posture of the
front passenger. Using this information,

the occupant detection system determines
whether the front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag should be deployed or not.
If the front passenger’s seat cushion is
wet, this may adversely affect the ability of
the system to determine deployment. If
the seat cushion is wet, the front passenger should stop sitting on the front
passenger’s seat. Wipe off liquid from
the seat immediately, let the seat dry
naturally and then check that the front
passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF
indicators work properly.
