Passenger Airbag light

[mydear]

Hi,
I have Yukon 2102

I've noticed there is a passenger airbag "OFF" light. My experiences have shown me that when my wife sits in the seat the airbag "ON" light is illuminated.
Is there any problem

thanks a lot

Nope. It works just fine. As of MY2007 the government has required a feature to be installed that is meant to help keep children safe. There is a sensor in the passenger seat that measures the weight of the person in it. If under 50 lbs the airbag stays off and won't deploy in an accident. 50+ and the airbag will be used in a collision. Regardless, always wear safety belts.
