front passenger seat when the sys-
tem detects an object on the front
passenger seat, fastening of the
front passenger seat belt or the
opening and closing of the front pas-
senger door. (However, when only
opening and closing of the front pas-
senger door is detected, the system
will judge that a passenger is not in
the front passenger seat after the

mately 12 mph [2 0 km/h] or more.)
• Rear seats (automatic S-FLOW mode only):
A passenger is judged to be in a
rear seat when the system detects
the opening and cl osing of a rear
door.

vehicle, the system will retain the
judgement for a ce rtain amount of
time after the power switch is turned
off.
