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.

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 much do you have to weigh to be able to sit in the front seat of a car in Oregon?

There is no minimum weight required by law for a child to sit in the front passenger seat in Oregon. It is strongly recommended that the child be at least 12 years old before riding in the front. The air bags can cause serious injury to a child smaller than this. Currently laws are only in effect for children that need to ride in safety seats.
