How can you make sure the passenger air bag is always on on your 2004 Liberty?
The front passenger seat has a sensor built into it and is always on unless a weight between 9 and 45lbs (maybe slightly different) is placed on the seat. This is in case you put a child safety seat on the front passenger seat so as not to deploy the airbag in a collision. The sensor is also intelligent and will vary the deployment depending on how heavy the front passenger is so as to minimize any injury the airbag could cause.
