Deactivating front passenger s airbag when a child seat is in use
If you have no alternative but to install a rearward-facing child seat on the front passenger s seat you must deactivate the front passenger s airbag beforehand.
We recommend that child seats should be fitted on the rear seat so that the front passenger s airbag can remain functional and provide protection in an accident link►.
Monitoring of airbag system
The warning lamp link► will light up for a few seconds every time the ignition is switched on.
If the front passenger s airbag has been deactivated, the indicator lamp “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ” or “ AIR BAG OFF” will light up constantly as a reminder Fig. 302►.
WARNING
  • If you have no alternative but to install a rearward-facing child seat on the front passenger s seat, the front passenger s airbag must be deactivated beforehand. Potentially fatal injuries to the child can result if the front passenger s airbag is not deactivated link►!
  • If you have deactivated the front passenger s airbag, reactivate it as soon as the child seat is no longer needed so that the airbag can continue to give the required protection.
  • It is the driver s responsibility to ensure that the key-operated switch is set to the correct position.
