CHILD SAFETY : Deactivating/activating the front passenger airbag
The passenger air bag must be activated or deactivated with the ignition off.

To deactivate the passenger air bag
Switch off the ignition, push and turn
lock 1 to the OFF position.

When the ignition has been switched back on, it is essential to check that
the warning light

This warning light remains lit to con- firm that you can fit a child seat, as the passenger air bag has been de- activated.
Deactivating the front
passenger air bag(depending on vehicle)
To fit a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat, you must deacti- vate the front passenger air bag if your vehicle is fitted with air bag deactiva- tion.
DANGER
Since front passenger air bag triggering and the po- sition of a rear-facing child seat are incompatible, it is not per- mitted to fit such a seat in this posi- tion unless the vehicle is fitted with an air bag deactivation device. The child may suffer very serious injuries if the air bag inflates.
The label (on the dashboard) and the markings (on the sun visor) remind you of these instructions.
