How to know whether the front passenger front airbag is disabled

AIR BAG control lamp that remains lit on the dash panel (remains
yellow) ⇒ page 31, Control lamp.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG control lamp on the centre console does not
remain lit or is lit in combination with the control lamp on the instrument
panel, a child restraint system cannot be mounted on the front passenger
seat for safety reasons. The front passenger front airbag may deploy during
an accident.

is set to the correct position.
● Only disable the front passenger front airbag when a child seat is to
be mounted under exceptional circumstances.

seat, reconnect the front passenger front airbag.
