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.
