Regarding the specific model of car, the Mazda 3, let's delve into the deactivation of the passenger side airbag, usually done when installing a child car seat. To do this, we need to open the glove compartment on the passenger side, insert the key into the appropriate selector, and set it to Off. From this moment on, the airbag is not active, keeping in mind that reactivation requires the same procedure, so you just need to set the selector back to On. This operation is very simple, quick, and can be done by anyone at any time.
