Just noted a thread on an air bag querry that has reminded me that the new Insignia has a passenger air bag on/off switch mounted on the driver's side of the facia corner that faces the door. 8-) 8-)

Is that a standard control now on new cars? :-?   Is it so you can safetly have a childs seat on the front passenger seat? :-?

It's on a few older cars but usually key operated and hidden away in the glovebox or somewhere.

Yes, it is key operated in the Insignia.

Just my limited opinion but:
- It is so you can fit a child seat
- It is not standard
- I remember looking at VW Bora a few years ago and some had it and some didn't - about #85iirc to have vw add a key in the glove box.

I am sure someone with more knowledge will come on soon!

Land Rover & Jaguar have disable of pass airbag

Usually on cars that share lots of bits with other models that have 2 or 3 doors.  So you will find it on things like a Passat, even though the interior has little in common with a 3-door Golf.  It does seem to be spreading even beyond that now though.

This sounds like a bit of inside information going by your location

I 'think' my ants Seat Ibiza had a switch too. I have seen it on a few cars though, just cant remember what they were now!

I used to have a 2001 Fiat Punto base model & that had a key operated passenger airbag deactivator,in the side of dash on passenger side.

I have a new'ish Citroen and the passenger air bag can be disabled, using the onboard computer, which controls everything if you can work out how to use it....

That must be an extremely small Seat or an effin' big ant!

Can they drive? I'm getting me an ant farm, cool!
