I have IS 250 SE-L and my son (6yrs old) usually sits in the back. Once in a while for short school trips, I want to let him sit in the front with his childseat. I read in the manual there is a little knob to turn off the front passenger airbag but couldn't locate it? Does anyone know how to do this? Thank you.

If your son sits facing the windscreen in the front with a child booster seat there is no need to turn it off matey as it's ok due to him being far enough away from the dash and the effect of the airbag going off will not be as powerfull as it would be if he was in a rear facing seat due to him being too close to the airbag itself, My son sits in the front of mine and i just make sure the seat is as far back as it'll go and the seat belts adjusted to his height on the B piller so fits well.
I asked about this at a few places before i allowed him to sit in the front and that was the advise i was given even though most did say the safest place for children was in the rear of the car but they love to sit in the front Sorry i dont know where the switch is as i have an is200 but somebody will hopefully know and be able to help on that one?

If you open the front passenger door, where the end of the dashboard meets the door/A pillar, there is a key slot to turn off the front airbag.

Thanks for your help. My son is very happy now too.
