It is essential to always switch off the front passenger airbag
(airbags) when attaching in exceptional circumstances a child
safety seat on the front passenger seat where the child is seated
with its back facing in direction of travel (in some countries also
when the child is facing the direction of travel).
− by allowing a Skoda dealer to do this
− or by using the switch for the front seat passenger airbag*

The national legal provisions in certain countries require that
both the front and side passenger airbags be deactivated. Please
comply with any difffering national legal regulations regarding the
use of child safety seats.

If this is not done, a child seated on the front passenger seat
may suffer severe or even fatal injuries if the front passenger
airbag or airbags are deployed.
•
You should have the front passenger airbag (or airbags) reacti-
vated by your Škoda dealer just as soon as you no longer use a
child safety seat on the front passenger seat.
