1 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/05/2018

We have a kia Sorento 2016. The front passenger side light stays on that the passenger side air bags is off, when a person sits on the front passenger seat. I have a gel cushion on the passenger side seat when and a passenger sits in it. The dealer tested it and the light went off when the gel seat was removed and the seat sat on. My question is - why doesn't the air safety cushion work when the gel cushion on the passenger seat? is this a safety issue for a person sitting in the passenger seat? some people need to sit on cushions when in a car because of a possible disability.
