    Can you turn the passenger airbag off?

    Does anyone know if this can be done? On some cars they allow you to do this if their is a small child in the front seat. I want to do this because we do navigation events and normally have a laptop mounted (havnt worked out the mount yet) in front of the navi. I would hate to have a laptop mounted and have the airbag go off. I know their still maybe issues with side airbags etc but at least the laptop wont be slammed in some ones face by the front airbag.
    thanks

    You could always pull the fuse, #56 but that will isolate all airbags and SRS

    One though I just had, one of my previous vehicles, can't remember which one but if you had something on the passengers seat (lunch, briefcase etc) without the seatbelt pluged in it would sense it and disable the passenger airbag with a corresponding message / warning light. Don't know if that logic is used by LR.

    No LR(and many other manufacturers)use the logic that there is a continual beep until you strap the brief case,lunchbox,laptop,dog,etc in,a PITA

    You can turn off the continual beep with the Disco.

    Umm,How?

    We also find the beeps a PITA for the driver as well,particularly tottering around paddocks on the farm.

    I did try the in and out 9 times or something as per UK site but didn't seem to work.
