How do you deactivate the airbag in the Ford Fiesta?

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 5, MK 5, MK V - Years 2002-2008
Part: Airbag

Disabling the airbag is a maneuver that should obviously be carried out in certain occasions, such as malfunction checks, replacements, etc. Otherwise, it is always advisable to leave it active. In this video tutorial, we see how to do it: Remove the central cover of the steering wheel, where the manufacturer's emblem is located, then use a small screwdriver to disable it by inserting it into the appropriate hole, located behind the steering wheel itself. Once the airbag is removed, all that remains is to disconnect the connector of the electrical power cables.
