Seat-occupancy detection, front passenger: Notes

The front passenger seat occupancy detection detects whether the seat is occupied or not.

The design of the seat occupancy detection depends on the national-market version.

Seat occupancy detector, front passenger (US version): 

In accordance with the stipulations of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) a small child in a child restraint system on the front passenger seat must be automatically detected. Upon detection, the airbags on the passenger's side are automatically deactivated (front passenger airbag, side airbag, knee airbag). The indicator light for front passenger airbag deactivation lights up.
