Deployment of the driver front air bag
does not mean that the front passenger
front air bag also should have
deployed.
The Occupant Classification System
(
page 71) may have determined:
ț that the seat was empty or
occupied by the weight up to or less
than that of a typical 12-month-old
child seated in a standard child
restraint - both instances where the
system suppresses deployment of
the front passenger front air bag
even though the impact met the cri-
teria and was of sufficient severity
to deploy the driver front air bag.
ț that the seat was occupied by a
small individual (such as a young
teenager or a small adult) or a child
weighing more than the weight of a
typical 12-month-old child in a
standard child restraint - instances
where the system may suppress
deployment of the front passenger
front air bag even though the
impact met the criteria and was of
sufficient severity to deploy the
driver front air bag.
