Thumbs down Serious saftey issue...
So my passenger side seat does not detect my G/F when shes riding shotgun, it turns itself off. She is hella short and only weighs about 105lbs. Is there a way to turn this option on all the time? I remember my old cars used to have a key to turn it on and off. Any ideas?

The airbag sensors turn off when it detects a supposed child / baby (or in your case a very lightweight G/F) because the airbags deploying could kill / injure them in an event of an accident.

Ding!
It is a weight sensor and is for the persons safety. Way to override it? Hand her a heavy bag...

I've got some home grown protein they can have. All they have to do is suck on the tube
