As a Mercedes GLC driver, if you need to activate the passenger airbag in your car, it's a simple process that only takes a few moments. To do this, go to either side of your car, sit down, and check the center dashboard above the radio for the on/off switch for the passenger airbag. Flip the switch to turn it on. If you can't find the switch on the dashboard, try looking in the glove compartment.
The passenger airbag in the Mercedes GLC is equipped with a sensor that activates when a person weighing more than the specified threshold sits in the seat.
I turned off the passenger airbag and the light turned on. How can I turn the passenger airbag back on?
Mae mentioned that the "AIRBAG OFF" light turns off once a passenger is seated in the car. The significance of this may be unclear to some.
The sole instance when you ought to disable it is if a child is occupying that seat. It’s reassuring to have it deactivated, or to know when to do so if the child meets the weight requirement to activate it. Essentially, there's no need to deactivate it unless you're attempting to remove someone from your vehicle during a high-speed collision, in which case simply cover the airbag off indicator with duct tape.
