In this tutorial, we can see how to deactivate the passenger airbag in the KIA Sportage, a very simple and quick operation, to be carried out necessarily after placing a child seat on the right seat, facing the opposite direction to the direction of travel. First of all, we remove the metal key, then we open the passenger door and locate the switch located on the side wall of the dashboard.
