I've bought a Grand Cmax 2016 and I don't know if I'm being daft but I can't see that I can turn the airbag off for my child to sit in the front. Can anyone help?

The handbook suggests:

SWITCHING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ON AND OFF



Switching the Passenger Airbag Off

WARNING:  You must switch the passenger airbag off when using a rearward facing child restraint on the front seat.

 

If you need to fit a child restraint on a seat protected by an operational airbag in front of it, have a passenger airbag deactivation switch fitted. Contact an authorized dealer.

ASwitch off BSwitch on

Turn the switch to position A.

When you switch the ignition on, check that the airbag deactivation warning lamp illuminates.

Note:   The key switch is located on the end of the instrument panel on the passenger side with the airbag deactivation warning lamp in the overhead console.

Switching the Passenger Airbag On

WARNING:  You must switch the passenger airbag on following the removal of the child restraint.

 

Turn the switch to position B.

Your vehicle may not be fitted with the deactivation switch, may models of that age do not.

If it is fitted then it will either be on the side of the dashboard next to the passenger door. In order to reach the switch the passenger door must be fully open.

OR

The switch (if fitted) may be located inside the Glove box near the top edge.

Does your car have a warning light/message in the centre of the dashboard that says "Passenger Air Bag On" ?
