Question 5681
Must the front passenger airbag of a passenger car be deactivated in any case?
- No, in no case, because it cannot be done manually.
- When the person sitting in that seat wears glasses.
- Yes, when children are transported in that seat in a rear-facing child restraint system.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, when children are transported in that seat in a rear-facing child restraint system.
Yes. If a child rides in the front passenger seat in a rear-facing child seat, the airbag for that seat must be deactivated. In the image, the front airbags have inflated after a crash, and an airbag like that would strike the child seat with great force. Depending on the car, it is deactivated manually, often with a key, or automatically.
