Manual deactivation of passenger
front airbag and side bag
Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the
front seat, the passenger front airbags and side bags can
be deactivated.
The instrument panel
“warning light will stay on con-
stantly until the passenger front airbag and the Side Bag
are reactivated.

and the side bags (for versions/markets, where provided),
refer to “Multifunction display” and “Reconfigurable mul-
tifunction display” paragraphs in the “Knowing your car”
chapter.
fig. 14L0E0069m
When there is an active passenger airbag, DO
NOT install rear facing child restraint sys-
tems on the front seat. Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal in-
juries to the child regardless of the severity
of the impact. Therefore, always deactivate the pas-
senger airbag when a rear facing child restraint
system is installed on the front passenger seat. The
front passenger seat must also be positioned back
as far as possible in order to avoid the child re-
straint system from coming into contact with the
dashboard. Immediately reactivate the passenger
airbag as soon as the child restraint system has been
removed.
