The seat should have a sensor inside that when enough weight is in the seat it will automatically turn on the airbag system for the passenger.
Do both air bags go off in a crash if no one is sitting in the passenger seat?
In most newer cars, no. Older cars may not even have an airbag for the passenger. In most cars that do however, there is a weight sensor in the passenger seat that turns the airbag on only if there is someone heavy enough in the seat. This prevents the airbag from deploying if no one is in the seat and also prevents it from going off if there is a small child in the passenger seat.

How can you turn on passenger airbag in mazda6?
The passenger seat has a weight sensor which automatically turns the airbag 'on' at a certain weight. If there isn't enough weight in the seat, the system determines that there is no passenger in the seat and leaves the airbag OFF. The weight sensor can also cause the passenger airbag to deploy with less force if it determines the passenger is small and might be injured by a full-force deployment.

If you drive with a child in the front seat and the car is equipped with an airbag you should?
If you have a child in the front seat of a car, you must ensure they are wearing a seat belt and that the airbag is connected. An unrestrained child without an airbag will be flung through the windshield in a crash and will die.The only exception to this is if you've got a baby in a rear-facing car seat strapped to the passenger seat. The baby seat must, without exception, be attached to the seat solidly, or the seat must be strapped to the seat in an approved manner. Then the airbag must be disconnected to prevent crush injuries in a crash.Urban myths have spread about airbags being dangerous. They are not, but not using a seatbelt is very dangerous; not using a seatbelt for your child is wanton neglect. For best results, strap your child into a car seat, fitted by professionals, on the rear seat of your car.
