A vehicle airbag and restraint system includes a vehicle seat positioned in a vehicle. At least one pressure sensor is included with the vehicle seat to sense when a user is in contact with the vehicle seat. At least one airbag is opened in response to a vehicle crash event. A controller determines when the user is seated on the vehicle seat in a position different than a normally upright position thereby defining the user being out-of-position, and generates a signal applied by the controller to modify an opening sequence of the at least one airbag when the user is out-of-position.

There is provided a computer implemented method for executing a model, for detecting safety seat events, comprising: receiving a plurality of records, each represents measurements taken by a motion sensor mounted on a child safety seat or a base of a child safety seat installed in a vehicle while the vehicle is static or in motion; executing at least one model to classify each of the plurality of records; detecting an occurrence of a child related event based on outputs of the execution of the at least one model; and activating a protection mechanism by a protection mechanism unit according to the detected occurrence of child related event.

An indicator light assembly for a vehicle includes a housing. The housing includes a casing and a cover. The cover is connected to the casing. A first light channel is formed in the housing. A second light channel is formed in the housing. A first indicator and a second indicator are formed on the cover. A first light source is disposed in the housing and configured to emit light through the first light channel to illuminate the first indicator. A second light source is disposed in the housing and configured to emit light through the second light channel to illuminate the second indicator.
