PASSENGER’S AIRBAG
MANUAL DEACTIVATION
SWITCH
If you have to carry a child on the front
passenger seat, always deactivate the airbag on
the passenger’s side before installing a rearward-
facing child seat. The device may be deactivated
by operating (with the ignition key) the relative
key switch located on the right-hand side of the
dashboard. The switch is accessible with open
door only.
Vehicles manufactured for the US, Canadian,
Japanese and Australian markets are not
equipped with this device.
The key switch has two positions:
1) passenger’s airbag on: (key in ON position
) the words PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF do not illuminate on the roof panel;
carrying children on the front passenger
seat on rearward facing child seats is strictly
prohibited.
2) passenger’s airbag off: (key in OFF position
) the words PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
illuminate on the roof panel; children may
travel in the front passenger seat if they
are suitably protected by specifi c rearward-
facing restraint systems.
The words “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” remain
permanently illuminated until the passenger
airbag is reactivated.
With open door the key can be fitted in or
removed in both positions.
CAUTION
When the passenger side airbag
is deactivated, because a person
considered by the laws in force to be at
risk is travelling and must therefore be
protected by an additional restraining
system, the passenger will not have
the additional protection of the airbag
in the event of a collision.
WARNING: Only deactivate the airbag when
a person at risk is being carried, and always
reactivate it at the end of the journey.
WARNING
: The airbag system has a service
life of 14 years. When this expiry date is
approaching, contact
an Authorised Service
Centre of the Manufacturer’s Network.
