control lamp on the dash panel re-
mains lit ( stays yellow) ››› page 73,
Control lamp.
If the control lamp on
the centre console does not remain lit or is lit
in combination with the control lamp on
the dash panel, a child restraint system can-
not be mounted on the front passenger seat
for safety reasons. The front passenger front
airbag may deploy during an accident.
WARNING
The front passenger front airbag must only be
disab
led in special cases.
●
Disable and activate the front passenger
front airbag when the ignition is switched off
to avoid damage to the airbag system.
●
It is the driver's responsibility to ensure
that the key operated switch is set to the cor-
rect position.
●
Only disable the front passenger front air-
bag when a child seat is to be mounted under
exceptional circumstances.
●
As soon as the child seat is no longer nee-
ded on the front passenger seat, reconnect
the front passenger front airbag.
●
Never leave the key in the airbag deactiva-
tion switch as it could get damaged or acti-
vate or deactivate the airbag during driving.
