Front Passenger's Weight Sensors
The front passenger's weight sensors (K) are part of the seat. The front passenger's weight sensors detect the weight on the seat, and send the information to the ODS unit (L). If the total weight is about 30 kg (66 lbs) or less, the ODS unit sends a signal to the SRS unit to prevent the front passenger's airbag from deploying. When the front passenger's airbag is disabled, the front passenger's airbag cutoff indicator on the center panel comes on to alert the driver that the front passenger's airbag will not deploy in a front-end collision.
NOTE:
The sensors only detect the weight on the seat. The sensors do not detect the weight of the passenger's legs or arms that may be resting on the floor or armrests.
