Eww!! That was a rough one!vacations can be a bitch![]()
Well my wife rides there too, so I don't think we want to do that.Eww!! That was a rough one!
From experience I can tell you that if you disconnect all three connectors at the seat base, you will get a constant "air bag" light on the dash, but no other ill effects.
I think she's more in the 55-60 lb range (probably should be sub 50). I read somewhere that the airbag only deploys at over 60 pounds to protect smaller kids, was thinking that the seatbelt might have the same weight limit.Guessing at a 40 pound dog?
Not as sensitive as the passenger seat in our Mini Cooper. The 12# Italian greyhounds don't set it off, but the 17# mutt does.
Plug the seat belt together and run the belt behind the seat.Ugggsigh. So the PMs have those annoying sensors that beep to annoy passengers into putting on a seat belt, I take it? And there's no way to toggle it off so that I can load stuff on the seat without hearing it whine or clicking in the seat belt which will be in the way and would be a pain even if it isn't in the [email protected]#[email protected]%^?grrrrmbllllllle?!!!!.. I think I feel a hate crime coming on.

Find the wire(s) for that sensor, cut or short them as needed.

You could always build a simple tray out of some plywood and something like 1x3? Something that would easily lay on the seat, with a bit of a tail which would slip into the gap between seat and back cushions. It would keep the weight off the center of the seat where the sensor seems to be and with an edge built around it, it would also keep your objects on the seat during quick stops.Ugggsigh.

This is what I did! After a long drive last summer to go camping with my dog.You could always build a simple tray out of some plywood and something like 1x3?

Easy to install, easy to remove. Very useful if you carry things on the seat often... No seat belt latched and no airbag activated.

Nice... My dog would insist on a 3" or 4" piece of memory foam to top it off though... He's just a wee bit spoiled!This is what I did! After a long drive last summer to go camping with my dog.
She did not look to comfortable and built one when I got back. Now she can
lay down and stretch out and nap. No seat belt alarm and no air bag going off.
