2013 Superb Passenger ABS

[Mr_Drozz]

Hi guys, I need to switch off my Passenger ABS on my 2013 Superb, I checked the Owners manual and the spot it says to do it has nothing there.

I guess it has to do with the right hand drive thing?

Does anyone know where the switch is to turn it off?

[Umai Naa!!]

Airbag?

Can't be done on Australian models.

[Mr_Drozz]

Haha yes Airbag sorry for the typo

Oh no please tell me this isn't true, I don't want to sell it

Can I ask why you would need to attempt to turn it off?

[Umai Naa!!]

I assume it's to put a small child in the front seat.

[Mr_Drozz]

Yeah, just found out we are having a 4th child (Eeek) Oldest will be 6, We love the Superb and really don't wont to sell it.

If we can't turn the Airbag off, kind of out of options.

Have a close read of the rules around children in the front seat for your state. There are exceptions, and the like.

I know in my case, it's legal for me to have my 6 year old ride up front in a certain type of booster seat, in my T5 Transporter, which has a passenger airbag. What makes this legal, is that there are no rear seats fitted (it's registered and complied as a 2-seater from new), and that the booster seat is not of the top-tether variety.

Ideally, children up to a certain age and weight should be in the back seat, in a child restraint. However, the rules appear to cater for most circumstances.

For me, my T5 is my work vehicle. There's no room in the back for a rear seat, due to a rather comprehensive fit-out, and trying to juggle a second car on days when I'm working, is beyond practical. In a perfect world, I'd have a dual-cab ute with a service body on the back.
