Regarding the passenger side airbag in a Toyota RAV4, under normal circumstances, it is advisable not to disable it. However, in specific situations where the airbag could pose a serious risk to a vulnerable passenger, Toyota has provided a method to deactivate it, which is typically not overly complex. It is crucial to be certain before proceeding with this action, as it could potentially endanger others. For models from 2015 onwards, you can access the passenger side of the vehicle with your ignition key. Upon opening the front passenger door, you will find a keyhole containing a toggle switch labeled "Airbag Off" and "Airbag On." By using your key, you can choose to keep the airbag deactivated permanently or have it activate when a passenger is present in the vehicle.

There is no option available for turning it off on a 2018 model either. What should we do to deactivate it?
