NZTIGUAN, thanks for extending the explanation further.

the front passenger seet airbag control has missed out in AU version.

Aust ADRs do not allow Passenger airbag disable option, which is available in US market. Might be legal with a passenger seat weight sensor

Funny as there is some sort of sensor in the front passenger seat as my seat belt chime and light goes nuts if there is something heavy (passenger or the likes) on passenger the seat an the belt is unbuckled! Take off the item/lift your butt off the seat and it stops chiming!

Don't really like the look of the silly black blanking plate in place of the disable airbag warning...oh well!

The American system is automatic I think, so if there's nobody in the passenger seat or whoever is in it is under a certain weight the airbag on that side is automatically disabled. The NZ system (and I think Europe as well) is that the bag is only disabled if you do it yourself by turning a key-lock inside the glove box.

Cheers
