SEAT recommends fitting the chil
d seat in the
rear seat to avoid having to deactivate the front

ted, this means that only the front passenger
front airbag is deactivated. All the other airbags
in the vehicle remain activated.

Open the passenger side door.
●
Remove the key shaft from the vehicle key.

Insert the key blade into the slot provided
in the front passenger airbag disconnection
switch ›››Fig.30. About 3/4 of the key should
enter; this is as far as it will go.
●
Turn the key gently to change its position to
(deactivate) or to (activate). If you have
dicult
y, ensure that you have inserted the key
as far as it will go.

nition on and check that the control lamp
remains lit ›››Fig.31.

Side airbags

ation of completely inflated side
airbag on left side of vehicle.
The side airbags are located in the front seat
backr
ests ›››Fig.32 , ›››Fig.33.
Its location is marked with the word “AIRBAG” on
the upper part of the back of the seats or on the
lower coverings with the word AIRBAG in relief.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the side air-
bag system provides additional protection for
the upper body in the event of a severe side
collision ›››
.
In a side collision, the side airbags r
educe the
risk of injury to passengers to the areas of the
body facing the impact. In addition to their nor-
mal protection, the seat belts also hold the
passengers in the event of a side collision; this
is how these airbags provide maximum protec-
tion.
