<p>An occupant detection system (10) comprises an electric field sensor (100) in the seat bottom (42) of a vehicle seat (3) for discriminating objects on the seat (3), and a range/proximity sensor (200) for sensing the proximity of an occupant's torso relative to the seat back (46) of a vehicle seat (3). The electric field sensor (100) discriminates normally seated occupants (5) from other seating conditions, and disables a restraint actuator (39) unless a normally seated occupant (5) is present. The range/proximity sensor (200) disables the restraint actuator (39) if an occupant (5) has not been proximate to the seat back (46) for a period of time greater than a threshold.</p> |
