Passenger airbag

[eranda71]

Hi All,

Has anyone successfully turned passenger air bag off?
In the manual it says to do it through the infotainment but can’t find it.

Thank you,

Why would you want to turn the passenger airbag off?
Don't like the wife?

Sometimes required for proper installation of forward-facing baby seats depending on their design approval. Other than that, it should always be on!

Not allowed to put baby capsules/child seats in the front unless it is a two front seat only vehicle.
At least in Australia that is.

I think same in US. And TBH, legality aside, not sure I would regardless.

You are correct, no baby seat or child in front seat until they are 13. Safety measures will not protect them. I have friend who is 4'10 and is 106 pounds. Back in the day she would to have turn off the passenger airbag when in car. Newer systems are much better suited for short people.

That option, and the switching off of DRLs are currently absent from the 'VEHICLE FUNCTIONS' menu as described in the Owner's Manual.

Not applicable in UK and @trobex is correct passenger seat bag must be turned off.

Some makes of car (older and my Discovery 4) have a place to insert the ignition key in the side facia moulding when the door is open to disengage the passenger airbag

UK law seems a bit confusing to me.
It seems to say that you can only put a child seat in the front if there are already two child seats in the rear and the third one won't fit.
You can only turn off the airbag if you are using a rearward facing baby capsule.
Not a child seat.

Thank you. I’m in UK not US. I don’t need the function as don’t need to put an extra kids seat in the front. I was just curious as manual tells you how to do it but option doesn’t appear on the screen

That is correct, except when they are 4 years of age and can be put into a booster. Booster does not require tether or isofix.
I just bought a little DMAX 1.9L Diesel (to replace my AGING Triton - and for the AC!) and it's a single cab, which I am having modified Tuesday coming to put a compliant anchor point in for a forward-facing harnessed seat (8m-8yr old). The seat I have chosen allows the airbag to remain on which was a caveat on my purchase (tether + harness + airbag) to protect my kid.

Yes ~ @CountyV8 has already shown what looks like new screens on new vehicles hitting the agent's showroom (I assume that's where he was?).
