'06 Solara_U (L/O 0502) -Front passenger occupant classification system Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant classification system. This system detects the conditions 1-4 in the table on page 83 and based on these conditions activates or deactivates front passenger airbags. The system monitors the weight and load on the front passenger seat, and the seat belt buckle switch to determine conditions 1-4. In order for the system to detect the conditions correctly, do not do any of the following: If the front passenger occupant classification system determines that a person of adult size sits in the front passenger seat but the "OFF" indicator is illuminated, one of the following is likely to have occurred: D A rear passenger lifts the front passenger seat cushion with their legs. D Objects are placed under the front passenger seat. D The front passenger seatback is in contact with the rear seat. To ensure the system correctly detects an adult sitting in the front passenger seat, make sure the above do not occur. Make sure that the "ON" indicator is illuminated when an adult is seated in the front passenger seat. If the "OFF" indicator is illuminated, ask the passenger to sit up straight, well back in the seat, and with the seat belt worn correctly. If the "OFF" indicator still remains illuminated, either ask the passenger to move to the rear seat, or if that is not possible, move the front passenger seat fully rearward. D Apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat or equipment (e.g. seatback pocket). D Attach a commercial seatback table, etc. to the front passenger seat seatback. The front passenger occupant classification indicator light indicates the actuation of the front passenger airbag, side airbag on the front passenger seat and front passenger's seat belt pretensioner. The indicator light will indicate "OFF" when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position with the condition 2 in the table shown below. D Put weight on the front passenger seat by putting your hands or feet on the seatback from the rear passenger seat. 81 2006 SOLARA from Feb. '05 Prod. (OM33667U)
