THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 45 • The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the driver and the passenger, and position everyone for the best interaction with the airbags. • The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) is located underneath the passenger seat. The OCM uses input from the Flex Mat to classify the occupant in the passenger seat into a size category. The OCM communicates this information to the ORC. The ORC may modify the rate of passenger airbag inflation or prevent passenger airbag deployment based on occupant classification. If there is a fault present in the OCS, the Airbag warning light will turn on. This indicates that you should take the vehicle to an authorized dealer for service. The Airbag warning light will turn on whenever there is fault present, which can affect the operation of the airbag system. If there is a fault present in the OCS, both the PAD indicator light and the Airbag warning light will illuminate to show that the passenger airbag is turned off. Should this occur the passenger airbag would remain off until the fault is cleared. If an object is lodged under the seat and interferes with operation of the Flex Mat, a fault will occur which turns on both the PAD indicator light and the Airbag warning light. Once the lodged object is removed, the fault will be cleared automatically after a short period. • The Passenger Airbag Disabled (PAD) Indicator Light indicates to the driver and passenger when the passenger airbag is turned OFF. In the presence of an occupant seated properly in the passenger seat, when the PAD indicator light is illuminated, the passenger airbag is turned OFF. The passenger airbag will be enabled for most any size adult who is seated properly in the passenger seat. The passenger airbag may or may not be enabled for (depending on size) a small teenager or a small adult 2
