Occupant Protection
R
The occupancy weight sensor operates
as follows:
*It is possible to receive an intermittent
indicator illuminated with an empty seat
condition. This is part of the system’s
adaptive behaviour, and does not affect
the status of the passenger air bag.
However, if the indicator becomes
permanently illuminated when the seat is
definitely empty and the seat belt is
unbuckled, then contact your nearest
Jaguar Dealer immediately.
• If the seat is empty and the seat belt
unbuckled, the front passenger air
bag will not be activated and the air
bag indicator will not be illuminated.
• If the seat is occupied by, for
example, a small child or object with
the seat belt buckled, the front
passenger air bag will not be
activated and the air bag indicator will
be illuminated.
• If the seat is occupied by a larger child
or adult, the front passenger air bag
will be activated and the air bag
indicator will not be illuminated.
• ** (Canada and USA only) Belt
tension sensor (BTS): If a child
restraint is fitted in the front
passenger seat using the seat belt’s
automatic locking device (see page
105), then the BTS supports the
decision function of the occupant
classification sensor and the front
passenger air bag is deactivated.
Note: The occupancy sensing system is
designed to confirm that a front
passenger is properly seated as
recommended:
•
Always sit centrally in the seat,
remaining in contact with the seat
back which for comfort should be
rearwards of the vertical position.
•
Adjust the seat to be as far back from
the facia as is practical.
•
Always wear seat belts.
The seat adjustment controls are
described on page 57.
