Is the m/h new to you? Has the light just come on or has it always been on?
If your starter battery voltage has been low it can cause the Ducato's airbag light to come on and there are regular posts on here about that issue and how to get it sorted.

It sounds like it could be the battery low voltage problem.
Put 'Air bag' in the Search box and you'll get dozens of threads. Here's just one........

Air-bag warning light - why no legal action?

Has anybody tried to sue Fiat/Peugeot over the airbag warning light issue at all on theirbase vans in all the years this has been going on? There is clearly a design fault in the softwear of these modules. Just because a battery runs down, it shouldn't affect the performance of the airbag. Power...

You'll probably need to get a garage to do a diagnostic check. The airbag module can be repaired by specialists or replaced but it's quite an expensive job - maybe around £300 for a new one . Where are you located?

Use an Optimate 1 Duo over winter if you can, my cab battery lasted over 10 years

If you go look on YouTube there is a video to show how to turn the passenger airbag on / off via the menu button. I'm on my phone and can't seem to link the exact video.

Note to others. Op stated it's orange and NOT the dreaded red one. Hopefully ..

Try this.

I would have thought that the OP's vehicle manual would have the information about how to turn it on and off.

Yep you would think so But maybe they just ain't bothered to read it or don't have one.

Indeed. In my car and m/h manual the instructions are in the 'Fitting child seat' section.
It does surprise me at the number of owners with missing manuals. Mine live in the glove box or a drawer and are never taken outside of the vehicles.
