CHILD SAFETY : deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag (1/2)
Deactivating the front  
passenger air bags
(on equipped vehicles)
In  order  to  be  able  to  install  a  rear- 
facing  child  seat  on  the  front  passen- 
ger  seat  you  must  deactivate  the  front  
passenger seat belt additional restraint  
systems. To  deactivate  the  air  bags:
  with  the  
vehicle  stationary  and  the  ignition  off,  
insert 
the ignition key in lock  1 and turn  
to the OFF  position.
With  the  ignition  on,  you  must  check  
t
hat  warning  light  2  
ã  is  lit  up  on  
the instrument panel.
This  warning  light  remains  continu- 
ously lit to let you know that you can  
fit a child seat.
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.
