THERE IS NO PASSENGER SEAT BELT WARNING AUDIO OR VISUAL. THE DEALER SAID THAT THIS VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE A SENSOR TO TELL IF SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT OR NOT. BUT THEY "ASSURED" ME THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAGS STILL WOULD WORK. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN SHOWN THAT AIR BAGS BY THEM SELVES ARE NOT AS EFFECTIVE. I READ THAT CHEVROLET OFFERED TO INSTALL AN ON OFF SWITCH FOR THE AIR BAGS, THE WRONG THING TO DO IN MY OPINION. THE SEAT BELT WARNING SYSTEM SHOULD BE A REQUIREMENT NOT AN OPTION.
