thankyou again ......
Is the key switch to turn OFF the passenger side Air Bag just a US/NA thing?
I'm surprised that you don't have this option.
From Page 36:
Passenger Front Airbag On/Off Switch
The on/off switch is located at the right end of the
instrument panel and is accessible by opening the passenger
door.
The on/off switch is to be used only when the passenger
is:
•
an infant (less than 1 year old),
•
a child, age 1 to 12,
•
an adult with a medical condition which makes passenger
airbag inflation (deployment) a greater risk for
the passenger than the risk of hitting the dashboard
(instrument panel) or windshield in a crash.
If the airbag is turned off when there is any other
occupant at that position, the supplemental restraint
provided by the airbag will not be available.
To turn OFF the passenger front airbag, use the on/off
switch located on the instrument panel.
