| Description of the problem | I very rarely detail my vehicle. Only once when i bought it in 2013 and again recently. Both times, the seats were still wet from the detailing process when i picked it up. Both times, while someone was sitting in the passenger seat while it was still slightly wet, the dashboard lights showed that the passenger airbag was not on. It didn't matter if the car was moving or stationary. Once the seat dried, the airbag appeared to function normally. My husband took the attached picture while i was sitting in the passenger seat. |
