A passenger airbag cutoff is a safety feature in vehicles that allows the driver to disable the passenger side airbag, typically when a child seat is installed in the front passenger seat. This is important because airbags can pose a risk to smaller occupants in the event of deployment. The cutoff switch is usually located on the dashboard or in the glove compartment, and it ensures that the airbag will not deploy in an accident when turned off. This feature enhances safety for children riding in the front seat while still allowing the airbag to function normally for adult passengers.
You can't switched it off without written permission from the NHTSA. Someone would then have to install a cutoff switch.
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.

To enable the passenger airbag on a Seat Alhambra, locate the airbag switch, which is usually found on the dashboard near the passenger side or in the glove compartment. Make sure the vehicle is turned on, then toggle the switch to the "On" position. Always check the vehicle's manual for specific instructions and ensure that there are no child seats installed in the front passenger seat, as this may automatically disable the airbag for safety reasons.
The switches are in the bottom of the driver and passenger front seat. When someone is sitting in it, it's on.
