Occupant Detection System (ODS)

~1min read

Your vehicle is equipped with an occupant detection system in the front passenger seat.

The occupant detection system is designed to detect the presence of a properly seated front passenger and determine whether the front passenger airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or not. Only the front passenger airbag is controlled by the occupant detection system.

Do not place anything in front of the passenger airbag.indicator.
