| 3 | Control module |
The occupant detection system can only determine if the front passenger seat is occupied or unoccupied. The occupant detection system consists of a captive sensor installed between the foam padding and the cover of the front passenger seat cushion and a control module.
The output from the sensor is fed to the control module which gives either an empty or occupied state signal to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster illuminates the safety belt minder lamp when it detects that the seat is occupied and the safety belt is not engaged.
