How do you deactivate the passenger side airbag in Mercedes cars?

Model: Mercedes Classe E W214 - Years 2023-2026
Part: Airbag

In response to the question at hand, we refer to the latest generation Mercedes cars, such as the E-Class shown in the video uploaded here. It is not possible to manually deactivate the passenger side airbag, there is no selector to turn or button to press, it does not happen as in the past, but everything is managed electronically and automatically by the car, which, based on the weight detected by the seat sensor, if classified as very low, in the case it is occupied by a child's car seat, considers deactivation appropriate. In short, there is no need to remember to activate and deactivate it every time.
