Yes, it is safest to use yourseat belt and airbag together. In fact, airbags are designed to only be used with seat belts. They are not designed to protect you if you are not using a belt. An airbag is even dangerous to use without a seat belt. Using a seat belt without an airbag is not dangerous, it just doesn't give you that extra protection. Not using an airbag is only advised if an underage (under 13 years by SRS recommendation) passenger is sitting in the seat.

How old do you have to be to ride in the front seat of a convertible?

ANSWER- More important than age, is the size of the child, to ride safely in the front seat of any vehicle. If the child is not TALL enough, should there be a collision, the airbag will strike them in the face, head & neck instead of striking the chest area as it is designed to do. In that case the airbag could injure or KILL a child. Therefore, if there is the slightest bit of uncertainty, always put children in the back seat; the safest place, according to experts. MOST IMPORTANT- if they do "measure up" for the front, NEVER depend on just the airbag. ALWAYS use the seatbelt, as the airbag alone can cause more injury than the accident itself. Check your owners manual for specific safety suggestions for the convertible.

Yes, airbags can deploy even if safety seatbelts are not being used. However, seatbelts and airbags are designed to work together to provide optimal protection during a collision.

How do you disable the seatbelt sensor on 2004 Volkswagen Passat?

I assume you want to disable the sensor because you don't use your seatbelt? Drive with your seatbelt fastened. That should do the trick. Besides, it will save you life in an accident. And I believe that your airbag may not deploy if the seatbelt is not fastened. They are designed to work together to save your life. You *could* in theory bypass the switch, but I won't say how.(1) On January 25, 2010 at 4:27 pm User:Gregfloyd[0] said:I appreciate your concern, but actually I do drive with my seat belt on. My problem is that when I arrive home and my child is a sleep in the car and I'm in park the sensor goes off repeatedly and wakes her up. I can't take my seat belt off while the car is running. Other cars I have had the alarm will go off when you take the vehicle out of park. This one goes off non-stop as long as the car is running.Thanks
