A plastic air bag cover is provided having an integrated occupant-sensing sensor module adapted for use in a vehicle occupant-sensing system. The sensor module includes a base plate and either a single occupant-sensing sensor (i.e., a transceiver) or a sensor pair (a transmitter and a separate receiver) mounted on the base plate. The sensor module receives a first signal which is transmitted through a window in the front panel of the air bag cover. In one embodiment, the window is formed adjacent the front panel. In turn, the sensor generates a second signal for use by the occupant-sensing system to prevent the air bag from being deployed. |
