Deactivating the steering wheel airbag in the Citroen C3 does not involve pressing a button or turning a switch; instead, it requires disassembling the steering wheel to access the airbag and proceed with its deactivation. Remove the central cover of the steering wheel by prying it off and disengaging the clips.

Then, as shown in the video, insert a screwdriver with a specially shaped head into the lower part of the steering wheel, which acts on the metal and elastic clip of the airbag to deactivate it. With the right tools at hand, the task is relatively straightforward.
