Today's information will allow us to activate and deactivate the front passenger airbag of the Toyota RAV 4. First, we open the front passenger door and begin to locate the front passenger airbag lock cylinder (if a child seat is present); we insert the ignition key and turn it to off, deactivating the front passenger airbag, as shown in the video.

Turning on the instrument panel and the engine, we will see the light on the dashboard indicating that the airbag is deactivated; we restore the airbag operation by turning it on.
