Airbag system 39
Safety First Operating instructions Tips and Maintenance Technical Data
– Check that the warning lamp “AIRBAG OFF” in the dash panel
does ⇒ page 38, fig. 25 not light up when the ignition is
switched on ⇒ .
WARNING
• The driver is responsible for the proper position of the key-operated
switch.
• You should deactivate the front passenger airbag only if you have to use
a rear-facing child seat in exceptional cases ⇒ page 40, “Child safety”.
• Never install a child seat facing backwards (or rear-facing) on the front
passenger seat unless the front passenger airbag has been disabled. This
represents a risk of fatal injuries to the child! However, if it is necessary in
exceptional circumstances to transport a child in a rear-facing child seat on
the front passenger seat, you must always disable the front passenger
airbag.
• As soon as the child seat is no longer needed on the front passenger
seat, enable the front passenger airbag again.
• Only deactivate the passenger airbag when the ignition is off, other-
wise a fault may occur in the airbag system, this will create a danger that
in case of an accident, the airbag does not deploy properly or does not
deploy at all.
• If the passenger front airbag is deactivated and the warning lamp
AIRBAG OFF on the dashboard does not come on, it may mean that the
airbag system has a malfunction:
− Have the airbag system inspected immediately by a qualified work-
shop.
− Do not use a child seat on the front passenger seat! The front
passenger airbag could be triggered despite the fact that there is a fault
in the system and, as a result, a child could sustain serious or fatal inju-
ries.
− It is not certain whether the front passenger airbag will deploy
during an accident! Inform your passengers of this.
• When using the ignition key to activate / deactivate the passenger
frontal airbag, only the passenger frontal and side airbag will be activated
/ deactivated. The curtain airbag on the passenger side will remain
active.
