Title: How do you turn off the passenger air bag?
Post by: Mantamad on 03 April 2006, 22:23

I have a 2002 GT TDi and as my youngest is only 7, I am not very keen on her travelling in the front with the passenger air bag activated - they can do more harm than good to kids of this age. The manual shows a key switch to de-activate it in the glove box but its not there. Was this key switch an option or am I looking in the wrong place?

My 99 gti mk4 doesnt have the key but my dads 54 Leon cupra does so im not sure what you can do other than put the seat right back.

I'm pretty certain you can do it with VAGCOM but you have to check the part number of your controller as there is an issue with certain controllers.
