Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS)
Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS) indicator light
Disabling the passenger's
side front airbag
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults
and children) shorter than four feet seven
inches (140 cm) be seated in the back seat of
any vehicle with a front passenger side airbag,
and be properly restrained for their size and
weight. See also the child safety recommenda-
tions on
page 21.
The passengers side front airbag is
automatically enabled/disabled by the
Occupant Weight Sensor (OWS), a system that
monitors the weight of the person or object in
the front passengers seat. The system consists
of a silicone-filled bag located under the
padding in the front passengers seat cushion, a
control module located under this seat, and a
8803403
m
seat belt tension sensor, located on the
outboard side of the seat.
The OWS system continuously monitors the
pressure on the front passenger's seat cushion
and the tension applied to the seat belt. Based
on this data, OWS assesses the weight of the
occupant or object in the front passenger's
seat. This information is transmitted to the
SRS system control module, which enables or
disables the passenger's side front airbag
accordingly, as indicated in the table to the
right.
If the system is functioning normally, the
status of the front passengers side airbag
(enabled/ disabled) will be shown by the OWS
indicator light as explained in the table to the
right
. The OWS indicator light is separate and
in addition to the SRS warning light in the
instrument panel.
NOTE: When the ignition is switched on, the
OWS indicator light will go on for up to 10
seconds while the system performs a self-
diagnostic test and then go out.
However, if a fault is detected in the system:
The OWS indicator light will stay on
The SRS warning light (see page 5) will
come on and stay on
The message PASS. AIRBAG OFF SER-
VICE URGENT will be displayed in the
information display.
