Passenger airbag deactivation

[sider321]

Hi everyone,

Can anyone please tell me how do I deactivate passenger airbag on the front seat in Scenic 2001. I want to put the baby car seat there but cant find the switch.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Disabling an airbag system is both dangerous for some owners (drivers) and necessary for others. The guidelines set forth by the government will outline who qualifies for this procedure and why it may be necessary. There is much information on the safety concerns and the dangers involved in disabling these systems. Check out these quick movies and website to understand the importance of airbag safety.

If after you watch these videos you still want to disable the safety system on your car, here is the next step for you to take. Get permission to do so from NHTSA through this link…

(first section marked ‘Airbag On-Off Switch Request Form”)

Once you obtain the permission form, you can legally disable the system. Interrupting the power circuit will render the airbag system inoperative. Most vehicles have a fuse marked ‘SRS’, SIR’, or ‘Airbag’ in the main fuse block. If that is removed, the light will illuminate indicating the system is inoperative and none of the supplemental restraints will deploy if involved in an accident.

Thank you very much. That did help me a lot. I was actually told in the Renault garage that I wont be able to deactivate it on Renault Scenic 2001.
You wouldnt have a link for a similar organization in Ireland?
