Hi Guys,

Just picked up my EVO X tonight. For some reason the "No Passenger Airbag" light next to the emergency blinker switch is always on, unless someone sit in the passenger seat. Is this normal?

 

i would think so.

 

yes.

 

There is a sensor in the seat that requires a certain amount of weight before the SRS system arms the passenger airbag. I don't know if they publish a number, but think it would be somewhere around 15-20 lbs since my old computer bag would cause it to arm (and then complain about the passenger seatbelt not being fastened).

 

cool, that's good to know. Usually in the other cars I've owned, the light is off when the pass. seat is completely empty, then it turns on when there is light load, and finally turns off when a person sat in it.

 

I think it turns off after awhile..Its also sensitive to I would guess 5pounds and up..I put my laptop on there and the light blinks..Congrats and get a TUNE..Then its a true EVO..Enjoy

 

yes the light stays on until a weight of 65 lbs or close to that is placed on the passenger seat. this is what the tech did when i had my seats recalibrated cuz i swapped out the MR seats.

 

i was about to post a thread asking this question, and voila! The SEARCH button works again lol. Way to bring a thread back from the dead

 

Welcome to the high tech Mitsu world lol!

 

Not going to lie, the blinking is quite annoying!

 

Amazing, Awesome, Yes.

 

There had to be a better thread to resurrect. Seriously. "The airbag turns off when there's no-one in the seat???" needed to die.
