Page 1 of reault clio air bag?

Hi. We have just brought a 2000 clio and i was wondering is there a way of turning the passenger airbag off to put a baby on the front seat?

Drive in to a wall at 20mph. That should do it.

Sorry.

It`s not easy being different. It`s not easy being cool....but somehow I manage....

If you can turn off the airbag,it should be easy enough to see.
They usually require you to insert the ignition key,so you`re looking for something that looks like a keyhole,with a green and red diagram of the airbag beside it,clearly signifying which is off and which is on.
They`re often in the glovebox,or down the side of the passenger dashboard (so you can only see it with the door open).
If you can`t see anything,you may be screwed.
However,you can still put a baby in the front seat,as long as it`s in a rear-facing carryseat and you put the seat back as far as it can go from the dash.

Apparently some Mondeos has a sensor in the seat so that only when someone or something over a certain weight is in the seat then the airbag is turned on. Could be similair on the Clio. What do the manual or dealers say?

There`s a de-activation thing that uses the ignition key, it`s next to the electric windows on my Clio - not sure what year they brought that in.

Should be a keyhole on the front panel which you can access when you open the passenger door, somewhere by the hinge?
