Applies to: vehicles with key-operated switch for front passenger's airbag
If an airbag has been deactivated, it should be reactivated as soon as possible so that it can continue to give the required protection.
If you have no alternative but to install a rearward-facing child seat on the front passenger's seat you must deactivate the front passenger's airbag beforehand.
We recommend that child seats should be fitted on the rear seat so that the front passenger's airbag can remain functional and provide protection in an accident ►Link.
Remove the integrated emergency key ►Link or use the separate emergency key.
To deactivate the front passenger's airbag, turn the emergency key to position -0- (OFF) in the key-operated switch Fig. 1.
The front passenger's airbag can be reactivated by turning the emergency key to position -1- (ON).
WARNING!
- If you have no alternative but to install a rearward-facing child seat on the front passenger's seat, the front passenger's airbag must be deactivated beforehand. Potentially fatal injuries to the child can result if the front passenger's airbag is not deactivated ►Link!
- If you have deactivated the front passenger's airbag, reactivate it as soon as the child seat is no longer needed so that the airbag can continue to give the required protection.
- It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that the key-operated switch is set to the correct position.
