Hello, 

I cannot find a switch or key switch to deactivate the passenger airbag on a 2012 s max

Nothing in owners manual and nothing obvious online?

Anyone else had this issue?

    If you have one it will be in the glovebox.

    It was an optional extra, most weren't fitted with them.

    As per the handbook, you can ask your dealer to fit one.

    You got three options. Get a switch fitted at great expense, sell the car, sell the child. 🤣🤣
