WARNING
•
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),
− in a specialist garage
− or by using the key-operated switch for the front passenger airbag*
 page 96, "Switch for switching off the front passenger airbag*".
•
The national legal provisions in certain countries require that both the front,
side and head airbags be deactivated. Please comply with the appropriate
national legal provisions which may differ 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) reactivated just as
soon as you no longer use a child safety seat on the front passenger seat.
