No passenger seat - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Itsthebeast · 01-10-2021, 04:57 PM

So I just hard-core shampood the passenger carpet of my car, and I wanted to run the car for a while with the heat on to get it fully dry. Is there any reason aside from an airbag light that I can't do so? I tried searching but can't seem to get a definitive answer. Thought I'd ask before I hooked the battery back up and started it.

am also curious and had questions myself.

will the entire air bag system still function normally?

also, with removing the pass seat will the seat belt warning keep chiming?

Seat belt beeper gives up pretty quickly. Within a minute IIRC. I could confirm if for some reason I were to drive my car around the block without my seat belt, but that would never happen.

I ran with no passenger seat when doing Domino's delivery as a side job. You learn to ignore the beeping quickly

I came across something about running a resistor on the plug to trick the sensor so the belt and airbag lights stay off, but I can't seem to find it again. I think it was in the diy, something about racing seats.

One of the first things I did with this car (thanks to you guys here talking about it) was get a Carista dongle thingy and turn off all of the incredibly annoying small noises the car makes LOL.

The passenger seat would ding for me putting my phone in the seat so thankfully the noise can be turned off. Just a suggestion if you're going to have the seat out for any extended period of time.
