FRONT AIRBAG ON PASSENGER’S SIDE
fig. 107
This is located in a dedicated compartment in the dashboard.
fig. 107A0K0135m
Do not arrange cradle child seats facing backwards
if the front air bag on the passenger’s side is en-
abled. Deployment of the air bag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the baby regardless of
the severity of the collision. Always deactivate the
passenger’s air bag when placing a child seat on the front
seat. Also, the passenger seat should be as far back as
possible to avoid contact between the child seat and the
dashboard. Although this is not mandatory by law, the air
bag should be immediately reactivated when children are
no longer carried to ensure better protection for adults.
To deactivate the air bags see “Knowing your
car” chapter, “Menu Items” paragraph.
Deactivating the passenger front air bag and
side bag
Deactivate the passenger front air bag and chest protection side
bags when carrying a chid on the front seat. With the air bags de-
activated, the
“warning light is lit in the instrument panel.
