Kia Optima: Weight Classification System (WCS) Description and Operation
| Description |
In contrast to the initial one-stage airbag systems, newer
restraint systems involve complex logic to select, or alternatively
suppress, various levels of safety system deployment. Inherent to an
Advanced Restraint System is the ability to discern information
regarding passenger occupancy. It is intended that these inputs be
provided through the WCS.
The object of such safety system is to reduce the risk and
level of injuries by automatically adapting the airbag(s) and seat belt
pretensioner to the driving status of the vehicle, its occupants, and
the crash severity. The current WCS covered in this specification
continually senses and classifies the front passenger side seat. The
Occupant Classification System described in this section is Weight
Classification System(WCS) of strain gauge type. It consist of 2 weight
sensors and ECU which is classifying weight of occupant. It is installed
on the seat track assembly.
