I am curious as well   :-\. . cannot think of a valid reason to disable the airbags  :-\

Unless you mean to "disable" the airbag light which is on ?

Not sure if it was only elites but mega money none the less.

Pop the seat in the back... no danger of distraction by tending to baby on the move then ;)

I read the manual  and it did say baby seat disabling on some models. I do take my grandchildren and great grandson in the car I have not had the car long and was wondering if my car had the disabling in it. I wouldn't put anyone at risk, that's why I asked the question

You'd only need to disable the front passenger airbag if you had a rear facing child seat in the front.

It was never a standard feature, always an option. Though most late Elites had it anyway to use up stock.

It works in conjunction with a GM baby carrier. Its not a switch like other cars.


So, no, you aint got it - if you have, you'll have an amber light by interior light that lights up for a couple of secs when starting.
