Occupant detection sensors
The occupant detection sensors are installed between the seat and seat rails, and monitor the physique and posture of the front passenger. Using this information, the occupant detection system determines whether the following airbags should be deployed or not.
. Front passenger’ s SRS frontal airbag
. Front passenger’ s SRS seat cushion airbag
If the front passenger’ s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicator lights do not work properly, do not allow anyone to sit on the front passenger’ s seat and have the occupant detection system checked by your SUBARU dealer.
Also, if luggage is placed on the front passenger’ s seat, this may adversely affect the ability of the system to determine deployment. This may prevent the front passenger’ s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicator lights from working properly. Check that the indicator lights work properly.
When the OFF indicator light turns off and the ON indicator light illuminates, the front passenger’ s frontal airbag may deploy during a collision. Remove luggage from the front passenger’ s seat.
