    Default Safety feature....

    Works like the ones in your car that activate the passenger airbag. Make sure it is connected or you will get warning lights.

    No, the Air Bag adjustment is by the ACS system Position Sensor and tie rod that connect to the Swing arm

    All of the above is true but for my two cents - when I installed a new seat I forgot to reattach that connection, and I got nanny upset and she yelled at me via the dashboard light and an error code. I reconnected the wires and she calmed down.
