Front passenger seat occupied recognition sensor, component description - GF91.60-P-4110T
MODEL 211.0/2 except CODE (494) USA version
MODEL 211.0/2 as of 1.6.05 except CODE (U18) Automatic child seat recognition (ACSR)
Location
The front passenger seat occupied recognition sensor is integrated in the seat cushion of the front passenger seat.
Task
The seat occupied recognition recognizes whether or not the front passenger seat is occupied by a person.
Function
If the front passenger seat is occupied by a person, the pressure load of the seat area increases. This pressure load is sensed by the integrated force sensing resistors in the seat cushion and forwarded to the restraint systems control unit (N2/7). On vehicles up to 31.5.07, the restraint systems control unit then activates or deactivates the relevant restraint equipment of the passenger side.
On vehicles as of 1.6.07, the information does not have any influence on the airbag activation. The front passenger seat occupied recognition only operates as a front passenger seat occupied/not occupied switch for the seat belt reminder warning.
