In this tutorial, you will see how to deactivate the passenger airbag in an Opel Astra J, a very simple operation to perform whenever a rear-facing child seat is installed. First, go inside the vehicle, then open the right door and locate the switch on the outer panel of the dashboard.

Next, insert the key and turn it clockwise to set the switch to the "OFF" position. At this point, the airbag will be deactivated, which can be confirmed by the warning light on the central console.

To reactivate it, simply return the switch to the initial position.
