Front Passenger Seat Weight

Sensors

Your vehicle is equipped with a front

passenger seat weight sensors as a part

of the supplemental restraint system.

These sensors are located under both

of the front passenger seat rails. These

sensors determine the total seated

weight on the front passenger seat and

monitor the seat belt buckle for the

front passenger seat. The SAS unit is

designed to prevent the front

passenger front and side air bags and

knee air bags, and seat belt

pretensioner system from deploying if

the front passenger air bag

deactivation indicator light illuminates.

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 knee air bags,

and also the seat belt pretensioner

system when the front passenger air

bag deactivation indicator light

illuminates. Refer to the following

table for the front passenger air bag

deactivation indicator light
