Problem with the passenger airbag indicator.

My fiancee weighs 95lbs, 90% of the time the light is on, in both my '09 and '13.

Hmm, I'd be concerned because in the case of a crash, it'll mean no airbag deployment for the passenger side even when occupied, especially when it's not 100% of the time.

Mine is lit up when no one is in the seat saying that its off. When someone sits down, takes about 10 seconds and then turns off.

Same issue with my wife and others in the Z and Juke. Dealer says the weights can't be recalibrated; I wish there was a push buttton or a key to manually make sure its on.

Honestly with your girls weighing so little they are probably fairly short. with that being the case they might be better off having the airbag off anyway.

My thoughts exactly. I have my reservations about airbags and small adults/children.

That's a great point I had not considered! What is the height cutoff? If I go on a long trip may be time for the helmet and pads lol.

lol!

there have been studies that have stated anyone shorter than 5'2" and less than 120 pounds should sit far back with the seat tilted to best avoid contact with the airbag.
