This system recognizes the occupant as a child if it detects a weight of less than 36 kg (79.4 lb), and disables the front passenger airbag and front seat belt pretensioner RH.
- This system is mainly comprised of 4 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 front passenger airbag and front seat belt pretensioner RH.
