Re: when to shut off ABS, plus when to shut off Airbags
I recently posted the question if anyone knows how to
temporarily disable the passenger Airbag (and/or wire
a switch) to avoid problems with kids up front. I got
a couple of responses saying kids shouldn't be up front
anyway, and normally (number of passengers permitting)
I agree that that is the case. In fact (especially
with the airbag active) I don't currently let that
happen. However, I have 3 kids, two in carseats, which
is a tremendous squeeze in the back of an A4! So, I
wanted to be able to put the biggest'un (7yr old) in
the front when just me an all the kids are out for a
cruise.
So after that little bit of self-defense, anyone know
the answer to the question? (BTW, I asked the dealer
they said they couldn't tell me for potential litigation
reasons - at least not until NHTSA makes a decree.)
