Abstract
A driver'"'"'s seat sensor switch has contacts that are operable to generate a driver present signal in response to a driver'"'"'s seat of a motor vehicle being occupied. A passenger'"'"'s seat sensor switch has contacts that are operable to generate a passenger present signal in response to a passenger'"'"'s seat of the vehicle being occupied. The driver present signal is applied to a driver seat belt switch that opens when the driver'"'"'s seat belt is not properly fastened. When the driver'"'"'s seat belt is not properly fastened, the driver present signal is applied through the seat belt switch to a light, whereby the driver present signal conditions illumination of the light as an indication that the driver'"'"'s seat belt is not properly fastened. In a similar manner, an indication is provided when the passenger'"'"'s seat belt is not properly fastened. The passenger present signal additionally conditions a passenger air bag for deployment in response to the vehicle being in an accident. Contacts of the sensor switches are connected to generate a vehicle empty security signal when the vehicle is not occupied. Windows of the vehicle close and doors of the vehicle lock in response to the vehicle empty security signal. When the driver present signal is generated, an anti-theft device is conditioned for activation by momentarily moving an arm of a switch. The anti-theft device is activated by a driver absent security signal that is generated by the driver sensor switch.
