Ok.... if there is no one in the front seat (due to lack of weight) the passenger side air bag is turned off/ you also don't need to have the seat belt clicked on.

When you get to a certain weight... the passenger side air bag becomes active and it searches for a locked seat belt.

The weight of a couple shirts and a 10 lb nitrous bottle w/ 6 lbs of nitrous is enough to get a reading...... so the entire way to a local shop the car was beeping and yelling at me because I refused to click the seat belt on.

btw..... hi craig :wink:

The 2005 Toyota Camry does that as well. My laptop in the leather bag sets off the sensor as well. Very annoying.

</looks longingly at the Trans Am> Such simple technology.

haha i had the same thing happen to me in my dads 05 Silverado over the weekend. I had my helmet (from friday night at atco) and a bunch of tools in a plastic bag on the front seat and i couldnt figure out why it was telling me to have the passenger fasten their seatbelt.

I guess we didnt think that far ahead? put the Nitrous in the trunk, so when you open it up, some VTECK kid can be like "oh **** d00d that guy has nawz in his Benzizzle!"
