I don't really know if I should post here, or the interior section?
I have the passenger air bag light 'off' on all the time on my 2006 S320CDI, and I had been told by the previous owner that it had been diagnosed as the passenger seat occupancy mat.
I was ordering some parts for the car today so thought I'd order the mat aswell and look at fitting it myself, or get an indie to fit it when they have the car for a check over - but according to the parts person, my car isn't fitted with one?
Does this sound normal, as I thought it was a fairly common problem? - and I don't like the idea of those emulator boxes that trick the car into thinking there is someone sitting on the seat all the time, as I don't want to give my insurance company any excuse to not pay out etc in the event of a crash, and obviously I'd like to know the passenger air bag will work if needed!
