Occupant Classificatio nSystem
(OCS)
Introduction
The Occupant Classification System (OCS) cat-
egorizes the personint he front-passenger seat.
Depending on that result, the front-passenger
front air bag is either enabled or deactivated.
The syste mdoes not disable:
Rthe side impact air bag
Rthe window curtai nair bag
Rthe Emergency Tensioning Devices
Conditions
To be classified correctly ,the front passenger
must sit:
Rwith the seatb eltfastened correctly
Rin an almost upright position with their back
against the seatb ackrest
Rwith their feet resting on the floor, if possible
If the front passenger does not observe these
conditions, OCS may produce afals ec lassifica-
tion, e.g. because the front passenger:
Rtransfers their weight by supporting them-
selve sonav ehiclea rmrest
Rsits in such awaythat their weight is raised
from the seatc ushion
If it is absolutely necessary to instal lachild
restraint syste monthe front-passenger seat, be
sure to observe the correct positioning of the
child restraint system. Never place objects
under or behind the child restraint system, e.g.
cushions. The entire bas eofthe child restraint
syste mmust alway srest on the seatc ushion of
the front-passenger seat. The backres tofthe
forward-facing child restraint syste mmust lie as
flat as possible against the backres tofthe front-
passenger seat.
The child restraint syste mmust not touch the
roof or be subjected to aloadbyt he head
restraint. Adjust the angl eofthe seatb ackrest
and the headr estraint position accordingly.
Only then can OCS be guaranteed to function
correctly .Always observe the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer's installation instructions.
