This system recognizes the occupant as a child if it detects a weight of less than 36 kg (79.4 lb) on the front passenger seat, and then disables the instrument panel passenger airbag, lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag assembly and front seat belt pretensioner RH.
- This system is mainly comprised of 2 occupant classification sensors that detect the load on the front passenger seat. The occupant detection ECU controls the system, and the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator indicates the ON/OFF condition of the instrument panel passenger airbag, lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag assembly and front seat belt pretensioner RH.
