Airbag system
The driver's front airbag is housed in the
st
eering wheel and that of the front passen-
ger, on the instrument panel . Airbags are
identified by the word “AIRBAG”.
The airbag covers fold open and remain at-
tached to the steering wheel
›››
Fig. 14 and
the dash panel
›››
Fig. 15when the driver and
front passenger airbags, respectively, are
triggered.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the front
airbag system gives the front occupants ad-
ditional protection for the head and chest in
the event of a severe frontal collision
›››
.
Their special design all
ows the controlled es-
cape of the propellant gas when an occu-
pant puts pressure on the bag. Thus, the
head and chest are protected by the airbag.
After the collision, the airbag deflates suffi-
ciently to allow visibility.
WARNING
●
The depl
oyment space between the front
passengers and the airbags must not in
any case be occupied by other passenger,
pets and objects.
●
The airbags provide protection for just
one accident; replace them once they have
deployed.
●
It is also important not to attach any ob-
jects such as cup holders or telephone
mountings to the surfaces covering the air-
bag units.

amp for the deactivation of the front passen-
ger front airbag.
Deactivate the front passenger front airbag
only if you hav
e to use a rear-facing child
seat in the front passenger seat.
SEAT recommends fitting the child seat in the
rear seat to avoid having to deactivate the
front passenger airbag.
When the front passenger airbag is deacti-
vated, this means that only the front passen-
ger front airbag is deactivated. All the other
airbags in the vehicle remain activated.
Deactivate and activate the front passen-
ger front airbag
●
Switch the ignition off.
●
Open the door on the front passenger side.
●
Insert the key into the slot of the switch for
deactivating the front passenger airbag
›››
Fig. 16. 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
difficulty, ensure that you have inserted the
key as far as it will go.
●
Close the front passenger door.
●
When deactivating the airbag, switch the
ignition on and check that the control lamp
with the lettering re-
mains lit in the middle of the dash panel
›››
Fig. 17.
●
When reactivating the airbag, check that
when the ignition is switched on, the
control lamp does not light up and the
lamp lights up or 60 seconds and then turns
off.
