SYSTEM OPERATION
  1. When the engine switch is on (IG), this system detects the condition of the seat belts based on the signals from the front seat inner belt switches (for driver and front passenger side) and the occupant detection sensor (front passenger side only).
  2. The occupant detection sensor, which is built into the seat cushion of the front passenger seat, is used to detect whether or not the front passenger seat is occupied.
