Disabling the passenger airbag in the Fiat 500 is straightforward. According to the highway code, this airbag must be disabled whenever a child seat is placed on the right seat, facing backwards.

To do this, turn on the instrument cluster, not the engine, and enter the "vehicle settings" section using the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. Then, select "safety" followed by "Passenger airbag" and set it to the desired position.
