Does anyone know how I can turn off my passenger side airbag on my 2001 Subaru Forester?  
  
 Thanks!

I don’t think you can turn off the airbag on a 2001. If you could there would be a switch prominently displayed on the dashboard or console.

Does the owner’s manual have any information on this?

Mcparadise is correct.
