No Detection Of Child Restraints






No detection of child restraints

Fault-tracing information

Note! The fault tracing information only applies to vehicles with occupant weight sensor (OWS).

In rare situations when the safety belt is not latched, some child restraints may not be detected by the occupant weight sensor (OWS) because there is very little weight on the vehicle seat cushion. In these cases the passenger's side front airbag may be disabled, but the passenger airbag warning lamp (PAD) will not be lit.
Do not assume that the passenger's side front airbag is disabled unless the passenger airbag warning light (PAD) is lit.
Make sure the child restraint is properly installed (turn the vehicle off, remove the child restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the restraint following the child restraint manufacturer's instructions) and that the passenger airbag warning lamp (PAD) is lit, or move the child restraint to the rear seat.
These conditions do not indicate occupant weight sensor (OWS) malfunction.

Other information
- For more information on the occupant weight sensor (OWS), see Design and function, supplemental restraint system module (SRS).
