<p>The presence of a rear-facing infant seat on a motor vehicle seat (10) is reliably and cost-effectively detected based on the buckle state and tension of the seat belt (18), and the position of the seat belt (18) relative to the seat bight region (26) where the seat bottom and back cushions (14, 16) meet. These seat belt parameters are measured and applied to a predefined decision matrix (62) to detect the presence of a rear-facing infant seat.</p> |
