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?

am inclined to say there is something wrong with the sensor...i would take it to the dealership.

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...

Very good point, better drive safer when shes inside the whip, thanks guys. Guessing theres no way to override this?

I would leave it alone.

:worthless:

Ya same thing with my girl. She weighs 95 lbs and it turns off alot of times.

dude, i'm having EXACTLY the same issue! That's so strange that I saw this.

weight isn't the issue... my Fiancee is 5'6 135 lbs and it's doing this... this is a car issue and a serious safety one at that as the OP said. I'll be taking mine to Nissan either tomorrow or monday.

The thing is its OFF when nothing is in the seat of course, then when she sits on it, it lights UP OFF. so...Im concerned now. And probably will be taking my car to the dealership also.

-___________-

if the sensors aren't any better than this then we'll be seeing a recall on them soon. If my Fiancee were to get hurt because of that thing... i'd be suing the hell out of Nissan.

Well lets just hope a major accident doesnt happen for ANYONE! =]

It might be doing it on purpose as stated above, I have no idea.

wow, I actually just had this happen for the first time today with my gf in the passenger seat. I ?guess? its for her safety that its turned off?

My Fiancee bounced in the seat and the light went off... I thought at first it was maybe the speed or something and it came on at higher speeds, but it just goes on and off on it's own.

Maybe the Z's are just jealous?? J/K... I would say it's dealer time

My '11 just started doing this. It's strange that the airbag off light doesn't illuminate with nothing in the seat, but if I through a case of beer on there it lights up. Also, sometimes (but not all the time) when my lady sits in the seat it lights up. She's 5'7" and about 115 lbs.

Has anyone taken this to the dealer to have it looked at? If so, what was the result?

here is another thread regarding this issue might help you out

I have noticed the same problem when girls ride up front in the car. The sensor doesn't recognize their weight and turns the airbag off. But if the step out and I do the quick on-off sometimes it works. :tup:

In order to diagnose if this is truly a sensor issue we need a full body picture of the girlfrien in a bikini (bra and panties will work too)

Damn, take them girls out to eat some time, will ya, you cheap bastiches? :roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

They are spending so much on the car they can't afford the feed the girls.

:roflpuke2:

^^^lolers

OP, just tell your girl to bring you a sandwhich and a drink everytime she gets in the car. That should be enough to keep the light off. It's a serious safety issue if she doesn't do this.

Or quit dating 12 year olds.....LOL ;)

lmfaoooo!!!!

I will get right on that! =]

Good post man, thanks!

Airbag does not come on with my girl in the seat either. Funny, its like my Z wants to kill small skinny girls but save the fat ones.

You date a skinny girl. The "no air bags" light is coming on. Maybe it's not disabling the function, rather it's telling you to date better endowed women.

or it wants to kill the fat ones with the airbag.

this thread has turned from serious to a little bit of entertainment lmfaooo i love this!

But but but I was only trying to test out Nissan's safety features.........

Is that why you stripped naked and brought the beer?

this is funny. :tup:

Was wondering when someone was going to call out all of the pedo's on this forum...
