SEAT recommends fitting the child seat in the
rear seat to avoid having to deactivate the
front passenger airbag.

vated , this means that only the front passen-
ger front airbag is deactivated. All the other
airbags in the vehicle remain activated.

WARNING
●
The driver of the vehicle is responsible for
disabling or switching on the airbag.

Always switch off the ignition before dis-

Never leave the key in the airbag disa-
