Your big *** will surely satisfy the "needs" of the sensor. I took my LX
back but the dealer said it was normal and to have her sit straight and turn
off the car and start it back. Basicly make sure that you don't start the
car before she is sitting and buckled up. It didn't really matter as our
"light" is almost always on when she is sitting in the passenger seat.

It's a known problem in the Elantra. There is no fix for it, but there
may be a re-programming program soon that will allow you to choose
between having the seat calibrated for an adult or for a child. What I
wish they would offer is a way to just bypass the sensor and leave the
damn thing on all the time.

I've been that is a requirement as of the 2005 model year. Is that
correct? My car is an '04. I realize that Hyundai is not likely to
provide a bypass method or mechanism even if it's legal.
There will never be a baby or young child in my passenger's seat, so it
would be nice to be able to have the system on all the time, since the
OCS malfunctions at times when my girlfriend is sitting there.
