How do you disable the passenger airbag?
Well, it depends on the model year of the Corvette. On most C-5 models there is a switch in the passenger glove box. Just stick key into that switch and turn to off. On newer models, there are pressure sensors in the passenger seat to determine the weight of the passenger, I think the weight trigger is 80 pounds. If weight is under 80 pounds, say for a small child, the airbag will be off. If weight is over, the airbag will be on.

How can you get your Passenger airbag light to stop activating 2006 Jeep Commander?
The right front seat has weight sensors built in. If the computer senses 5 to 20 lbs it will turn on that light to tell you that the airbag is shut off. The reason it does this is if there is a child's car seat up there.
What age does a child have to be to sit in front seat of the car?
There is no certain age. You have to reach a certain height and weight so if you are under height and weight then you are more likely to have severe injuries from an airbag. Usually the weight is around 100 lbs and the height is around 5 feet.

A passenger air bag can be dangerous for a kid in a child seat. The cut off switch allows the airbag to be temporarily disconnected for the safety of a child passenger.
How old do you have to sit in the front seat of a car with airbag in ct?
In order to have the right to sit in front you need to check with the laws of your own state. In most states they have guidelines on height, weight and age of the child. Remember an airbag can seriously harm a child, especially one that wears glasses, braces or other orthotics around the head. Think of the child's welfare rather than his or her cries to sit in front.
If you must drive with a child in the front seat and the car is equiped with an airbag?
Not. If the airbag goes off it will occupy the space where the baby used to be. Drive a different vehicle.
Why do you have to be a certain age to sit in the front seat?
They're making an assumption, that a child of a certain age will be at or above a certain height and strength. You do not want a deployed airbag to hit them at the wrong place and cause damage. And, studies have shown that there is a better chance of surviving a passenger-side impact when you have a higher muscle-mass.
