Easy way to turn off front passenger airbag? Gen3

Considering where they chose to locate that switch, I think I could easily have driven a car for 13 years without noticing it.

Unless there had been some need to take the dash apart (like when I added the auto headlight wiring). Then I would have said "oh look, what's this switch here?"

 

My mistake.
I didn't notice that the thread had taken a turn.
Sorry.

 

I'm glad you found it, and thanks for letting us know it is there. Sometimes we need reminders that cars outside the North American or even U.S. markets have different features than ours.

As Chapman already mentioned, they certainly made it very unobtrusive. If you bought it as a used car, without all the original documentation and removable warning labels, I can certainly understand how it was missed. Even if you got it new, that was a very long time to have to remember about something so well hidden.
