We have always been told that the airbag is a protection and therefore should never be deactivated. The system, in fact, through cushions, allows, in case of an accident, to avoid too much damage to all passengers. There are cases, however, in which it is necessary to deactivate the system because it puts those sitting in the front passenger seat more at risk, these exceptional cases concern the transport of materials and the transport of the child seat.
