04MY Focus - Passenger Airbag Deactivation

[TedMaul]

At work and don't have manual for Mrs Mauls car to hand - so anyone know how to disable passenger airbag on a 54 plate Focus? Google suggests deactivation switch was optional extra... My V70 has keylock in passenger door hinge, but nothing in Focus apparently

The Mondeo does it automatically, it detects that some thing is on the seat but not heavy, so deactivates the airbag, maybe the focus does the same if you cant find a key.

I'm fairly sure this is the case.

Seem to remember someone posting a while back asking if he should fit the switc DIY (you can buy the kit) or get it done at a dealer.

Concensus was take it to the dealer, don't fvck about with something that could squash your littleun flat.
