The passenger is the wife of the contact which weighed enough to keep the air bag activated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The dealer determined the air bag sensor was operating normal; however, the dealer determined the passenger should change posture and sitting positions while sitting in the passenger seat.
