(a) Certified to the federal regulation for automatic passenger occupant classification. Always use seat belts. Children 12 and under
should always be in a back seat correctly using an infant or child restraint system, or the seat belt positioned correctly for the
child’s age and size. The OCS determines the conditions for activation or deactivation of the passenger-side front air bag based
upon the weight of the occupant. It may not activate the air bag if the occupant has incorrect seating posture or is moving in the
seat. You should observe the air bag lamp to determine if the OCS is deciding properly. Passengers should sit properly in the
seat with the seat belt fastened at all times.
