How to activate and deactivate the front passenger airbag of the Mercedes B-Class

Model: Mercedes Classe B W246, MK 2 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Airbag

In this guide we will see the information related to the operation of the front passenger airbag of the Mercedes Class B. The front passenger airbag is in fact activated and deactivated automatically depending on the presence or absence of the passenger; therefore, make sure that there are no switches that can manually deactivate the passenger airbag. In the case of installing a rear-facing child seat, the system will not detect any passenger presence and therefore the airbag will remain deactivated; we find the information regarding the status of the airbag at the bottom of the dashboard.
