Hi Doug
You can take out the fuse for the airbag system (before you start the car) and then the system is disabled. Without the switches now available you can only disbable the entire system, not any single component. That means your airbag will not deploy either (in the event of an accident)
Once home, reinstall the fuse and the system should be online
