carefully.

 Front Passenger Occupant Classification Sensor

Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant classification sensor as a part 

of the supplemental restraint system. This sensor is equipped in the front passenger's seat 

cushion. This sensor measures the electrostatic capacity of the front passenger's seat. The 

SAS unit is designed to prevent the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt 

pretensioner system from deploying if the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator 

light turns on.

To reduce the chance of injuries caused by deployment of the front passenger air bag, 

the system deactivates the front passenger front and side air bags and also the seat belt 

pretensioner system when the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns 

on. Refer to the following table for the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light 

illumination conditions.

This system shuts off the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner 

system, so make sure the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns on 

according to the following table.

The air bag/front seat belt pretensioner system warning light flashes and the front passenger 

air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates if the sensors have a possible malfunction. 

If this happens, the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner system 

will not deploy.
