Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the front seat, the passenger’s air bag on the car can be deactivated.
Deactivation/reactivation takes place with ignition key at STOP and operating it in the special key switch on the right-hand side of the dashboard. You can reach the switch only if the door is opened.
When the door is open, the key can be inserted and removed in both positions.
IMPORTANT Operate the switch only when the engine is not running and the ignition key is removed.
The key-operated switch has two positions:
❒ Passenger’s front air bag activated (ON position
): warning light
on instrument cluster off; it is absolutely
prohibited to carry a child on the front seat.
❒ Passenger’s front air bag deactivated (OFF position
): warning light
on instrument cluster on; it is possible
to carry a child protected by special restraint system on the front seat.
The warning light 
on the cluster
stays on permanently until the passenger’s air bag is reactivated.
Deactivation of the passenger’s front air bag does not inhibit operation of the side air bag.
