Subject: Air bag disable switch

Haven't seen this mentioned on this topic yet...

Ford has a passenger air-bag disable switch on their full-size pickups 

for 1997 (and maybe 1996?) The new F150's.  You can turn off the airbag 

with a key, and re-arm it the same way. The stated purpose is to allow 

you to put a rear-facing child seat there.  An indicator glows on the 

dash to let you know that the bag is disabled.



Now, I don't know if they have plans to offer it on the Ranger pickups, 

but if they do, that is the same truck as the Mazda.  So, it stands to 

reason that Mazda has the wherewithall to provide an air-bag disable 

switch.



I say, if it's good enough for 2-seater trucks, it's good enough for 

2-seater cars.
