Deactivating an airbag should be considered in cases such as the ones below.
▶
If a child seat is to be used on the front passenger seat, where the child is
transported with its back to the direction of travel
children safely.
▶
If it is not possible to maintain a distance of at least 25 cm between the mid-
dle of the steering wheel and chest, despite the driver's seat being correctly
adjusted.
▶
If special attachments are required in the area of the steering wheel because
of a physical disability.
▶
If different seats have been fitted (e.g. orthopaedic seats without side air-
bags).
The front passenger airbag can be switched off with the key-operated switch

We recommend that you ask a ŠKODA service partner to deactivate any other
airbags.
