after the missus decided to use the accelerator instead of the brake in the drive, we now have a buckled closing plate, bonnet and who knows what else on her 206. Thankfully her old 106 stopped her continuing into the caravan.
Anyway, before i start battering about with a hammer to straighten a bodge out of it, can anyone advise how to turn off the air bags? Is it just the wee switch below the steering wheel. And is it just the ignition key?We didnt get a manual with it , when we got it 3 weeks ago ! Sad

thanks for any info. peter

Disconnect the battery and wait for about 20 mins for the energy in the system to discharge. Check the beginners guide on battery disconnection/connection procedure The switch by the steering wheel just deactivates the passenger side airbag for when you have a baby seat in (or when you want to pay the missus back for crashing the car)

Just disconnect the battery. I've done Plenty of 'banging' on many cars and never set airbags off, even with the battery still on. Saying that... peugeot's electrics... the airbags probably dont work anyway.
