Safety
How to know whether the front passenger
fr
ont
airb
ag is disabled
The only indication of the front passenger air-
bag being disabled is that the
control lamp on the dash panel re-
mains lit ( stays yellow) ››› page 63.
If the control lamp on the dash panel
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 air-
bag 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.
Transporting children safely

Introduction
Before transporting babies and children in a
chil
d seat placed in the front passenger seat,
first completely read the information regard-
ing the airbag system.
This information is extremely important for
driver and passenger safety, particularly that
of babies and children.
SEAT recommends the use of child seats from
the SEAT accessory programme. These child
seats have been designed and tested for use
in SEAT vehicles. You can purchase child
seats with different mountings from a SEAT
dealership.
WARNING
Make sure children are properly belted in and
correctly
secured to avoid severe or fatal inju-
ries while the vehicle is in motion.
●
Never use a rear-facing child seat in the
front passenger seat if the front passenger
front airbag is enabled.
●
Children up to 12 years old should always
travel on the rear seat.
●
Childr
en must always be protected with an
approved child restraint system suited to
their height and weight.
●
Children must assume the proper sitting
position and be properly belted in while trav-
elling.
●
Ensure the seat backrest is upright when a
child seat is being used on it.
●
Do not allow the child's head or other part
of his or her body to enter the deployment
area of the side airbags.
●
Make sure the belt webbing is correctly
positioned.
●
Never hold children or babies on your lap or
in your arms.
●
Only one child may occupy a child seat.
●
Please read and observe the child seat
manufacturer's handling instructions.
WARNING
An empty or loose child seat could fly uncon-
trol
lably around the vehicle interior and
cause injuries in the event of an accident or
sudden braking.
●
When not in use while the vehicle is in mo-
tion, always safely secure the child seat or
store it in the luggage compartment.
Note
Replace the child seat after an accident, as it
may
have invisible damage.
