passenger air bag

robotrobo

can someone please explain how to turn off the air bag on my B M W i can see the slot on the passenger side dash but unable to turn off as direction indicates , is there a special key somewhere to use ?, or is it just a screwdriver slot ?, its my sons car & i don t want to damage it. Its a keyless ignition & i think its a 3 series tourer ,so its obvious the ignition key is not the one ,as its keyless.
thankyou

If its an E90/1/2/3 then there will be a key in the fob.

You could try reading the owners handbook, they should tell you exactly how to disable the airbag, if at all.

Pull the blade key out of the remote fob and switch the airbag off with that

Hi skipper.
There is no key , it's keyless, & the screwdriver looking slot is rather large for a flat head screwdriver, I'm trying to find out so that I don't mess it up.
Thankyou

The key is hidden inside the fob. Next to where the ring goes through you will see a small serrated area on either side of the fob. Squeeze these and it pulls out of the fob with a key blade on. This will fit the airbag switch.
