Air Bag Sensor
My wife broke her tail bone and has to use a special pillow to sit on. When she uses the cushion on the front passenger seat there is not enough pressure transferred to the sensor so the "Passenger Air Bag Off" warning light comes on. I've tried putting something solid under the pillow - no good. My BMW tech tells me that there is no way to over ride the sensor to activate the passenger air bag.
Any thoughts? |

I don't believe there is any way to override the seat sensor and force the airbag on.
Remember that the airbag supplements the seat belt in the event of a crash, so make sure she wears her seat belt and keeps it snug around her hips. Drive safely and be extra vigilant and she'll be fine. Sitting in the back seat is only slightly safer than the front seat with the airbag off, so I wouldn't bother. |
