Default How do I disable the passanger side airbag?

I'm worried about the bag smacking my kid in a fender bender. She's 12 and should be ok but I would rather just have it shut off. Anyone know how to do this?

Here is link to some installation pictures of switch. But, if your son is 12, I would feel better just moving the seat all theway back when he is in the seat. In a major crash the bag is worth the protection. JMHO
