Overview - Passenger Occupant Detection System

NOTE:

The passenger occupant detection system pressure sensor automatically deactivates the front passenger airbag when the front passenger seat is not occupied.

The passenger occupant detection system pressure sensor and the Front Passenger Seat Heating Element -Z8- are a shared component.

This equipment is only installed on vehicles released in the USA.

The components pictured can vary in form and appearance from the present vehicle. However the assembly and functionality are identical.
