If you fit a rear-facing child seat to the front
passenger seat, the front passenger front air-
bag must be de-activated.
When the front passenger airbag is deactiva-
ted, this means that only the front passenger
front airbag is deactivated. All the other air-
bags in the vehicle remain activated.
Activating the front passenger front airbag
–
Switch the ignition off.
–
Open the glove compartment on the front
passenger side.
–
Insert the key into the slot of the switch for
deactivating the front passenger airbag
››› Fig. 85. About 3/4 of the key should en-
ter, as far as it will go.
–
Then turn the key gently to the position.
Do not force it if you feel resistance, and
make sure you have inserted the key fully.
–
When the ignition is switched on, check
whether the control lamp
on the dash panel does ››› Fig. 86 not
light up ›››
.
WARNING
●
It is
the driver's responsibility to ensure
that the key-operated switch is set to the cor-
rect position.
●
You shoul
d deactivate the front passenger
front airbag only if you have to use a rear-fac-
ing child seat in exceptional cases
››› page 72, Transporting children safely.
●
Never install a child seat facing backwards
on the front passenger seat unless the front
passenger front airbag has been disabled.
Otherwise, there is a risk of death.
●
As soon as the child seat is no longer nee-
ded on the front passenger seat, enable the
front passenger front airbag again.
●
Only deactivate the front passenger front
airbag when the ignition is off, otherwise a
fault may occur in the airbag system, which
could cause the airbag to not deploy properly
or not deploy at all in case of an accident.
●
Never leave the key in the airbag disabling
switch as it could get damaged or enable or
disable the airbag during driving.
●
When the passenger airbag is deactivated,
if the control lamp is not
continuously lit up when the front passenger
airbag is disabled, there may be a fault in the
airbag system:
–
Have the airbag system inspected imme-
diately by a specialised workshop.
–
Do not use a child seat on the front pas-
senger seat! The front passenger front
airbag could be triggered in the event of
an accident, even if there is a fault in the
system and, as a result, a child could sus-
tain serious or fatal injuries.
–
It is unpredictable whether the front pas-
senger airbag will deploy in the event of
an accident. Warn all your passengers of
this.
