the front passenger airbag must be de-activated.
When the passenger airbag is  deactivated, this means that only the 
frontal and side airbags are deactivated. All the other airbags in the 
vehicle remain functional.
Disabling front passenger airbag
– Switch off ignition.
– Turn the ignition switch in the key operated switch in the glove  box to the position  OFF ⇒ fig. 25 .
– Check that the warning lamp “AIRBAG OFF” in the dash panel  ⇒fig. 26 remains lit  ⇒when the ignition is switched on.
Enabling front passenger airbag
– Switch off ignition.
– Turn the ignition switch in the key-operated switch in the glove  box to the position  ON ⇒fig. 25 .
