: auto front air bags?

I have a 04.5 cc sb and sometimes have to put a child in the front seat because there are already three in the back seat. In my wife's 03 suburban there's a light that tells you when the airbag is on/off. I'm not sure if this airbag in my truck is an automatic weight sensing unit or not. Any ideas?


Thanks,


Rob

Only does that on 1500s, not on HDs.

As far as I know, the front seats on Crew Cab HD's can not disable air bags. Nor, can you get a disable switch I think.


Don't know the gory liability details, but I don't know exactly what GM can do about putting in a disable switch for the front seat of Crew cabs.


Their recommendation is to use the back seat. I guess it never occured to them what to do if the back seat is filled.
