Optima V6-2.7L VIN 4 (2007)
Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
In contrast to the initial one-stage airbag systems, newer restraint systems involve complex logic to select, or alternatively suppress, various levels of
safety system deployment. Inherent to an Advanced Restraint System is the ability to discern information regarding passenger occupancy. It is intended
that these inputs be provided through the OC system. The object of such safety system is to reduce the risk and level of injuries by automatically adapting
the airbag(s) and seat belt pretensioner to the driving status of the vehicle, its occupants, and the crash severity. The current OC system covered in this
specification continually senses and classifies the front passenger side seat.
