CHILD SAFETY: deactivating, activating airbag front passenger
Deactivating the front passenger airbag
(depending on the vehicle)
Before installing a child seat on the front passenger seat:
- check that the child seat can be installed on this seat;
- it is essential to deactivate the airbag for a rear-facing child seat.
To deactivate the airbag: with the vehicle stationary and the ignition switched off, push and turn lock 1 to the OFF position.
When the ignition is switched on, it is essential to check that the warning light ¹ is illuminated on the display 2.
This light remains permanently lit to let you know that you can fit a child seat.
The passenger airbag may only be activated or deactivated when the vehicle is stationary with the ignition off.
If it is interfered with when the vehicle is being driven, indicator lights å and © will come on.
Switch the ignition off then on again to reset the airbag in accordance with the lock position.
DANGER
Since operation of the front passenger airbag is not compatible with the position of a rear-facing child seat, NEVER fit a rear-facing child restraint system in a seat protected by an ACTIVATED front AIRBAG. This can lead to the DEATH of the CHILD or SERIOUS INJURY.
The markings on the dashboard and labels A on each side of the passenger sun visor 3 (example: label shown above) remind you of these instructions.
