This brief guide will show you how the front passenger airbag system in the Mercedes C-Class operates. The front passenger airbag is automatically activated when a passenger is detected by a sensor located in the seat; alternatively, an emulator may be installed, as in this case, which constantly indicates the presence of a passenger (keeping the front passenger airbag always active), as shown in the video.

This sensor is installed under the front passenger seat, following the video tutorial to the end!
