Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation
Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS)
DESCRIPTION
The system is intended to classify the occupancy status of the front passenger seat in a motor vehicle based on the measured force on the bottom seat
cushion.
The system also communicates to the SRSCM whether to allow or inhibit the deployment of the passenger airbags and/or pretensioner based upon this
status.
The System also measures dynamic responses of the occupant. This information is used to identify when a child seat is cinched down tightly with the seat
belt, and to also determine if the seat is unoccupied.
However, the dynamic measurements are not intended, nor capable of monitoring the seating position of the occupant, nor can they determine the
proximity of the occupant to the inflator modules.
The system should not be confused with an occupant p0sition recognition system, or any other occupant proximity sensor.
