How to know whether the front passenger
front airbag is disabled
The only indication of the front passenger
airbag being disabled is that the
control lamp on the dash panel re-
mains lit ( stays yellow)
›››
page 75.
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 disabled in special cases.
●
Disable and activ
ate 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
correct position.
●
Only disable the front passenger front
airbag when a child seat is to be mounted
under exceptional circumstances.
●
As soon as the child seat is no longer
needed on the front passenger seat, recon-
nect the front passenger front airbag.
●
Never leave the key in the airbag deacti-
vation switch as it could get damaged or
activate or deactivate the airbag during
driving.
