Direction on how to install front passenger airbags in a 2002 chevy cavalier

There are three mounts. One at the front, passenger side of car and one on the back of the transmission. There is also a dogbone mount fron the front top of the engine to the body.

No there is no switch to turn airbags on/off and No the sensors cannot be adjusted.
Owners manual can be purchased from a main dealer or auto parts store.

Hello Collette,

(Owner Manual Page 2-68)
The passenger sensing system turns off the right front
passenger frontal airbag and seat-mounted side
impact airbag under certain conditions. The driver
airbags and the roof-rail airbags are not affected by the
passenger sensing system.
The passenger sensing system works with sensors that
are part of the right front passenger seat. The sensors
are designed to detect the presence of a properly-seated
occupant and determine if the right front passenger
frontal airbag and seat-mounted side impact airbag
should be enabled (may inflate) or not.

I'm not sure if a purse or other light weight objects would activate the passenger airbag but if your display is showing random passenger activation it would be best to have a qualified dealer check into it...better safe than sorry.

Hi Summer,

Hello! The removal and installation of an Air Bag is a multiple step process that exceeds our ability to send these procedures via a comment...I would suggest that you purchase a repair manual ( I believe AutoZone sells them for $15)...Also, due to safety issues, It would be best using the manual...

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_6df67de3b14de867

on the 2002 Accent we have, the area is clearly identified w/the "cutout" area and marked SRS Airbag...perhaps look at Hyundai.com at the owners' manual online, or look at used cars/junk yards to compare dash panels to yours...would think it VERY difficult for avg person to perform this task
