To prevent damage to the airbag system, only switch the front passenger front airbag on and off when the ignition is switched off.
It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that the key-operated switch is set to the correct position.
Only switch the front passenger front airbag off if, in exceptional circumstances, a child seat has to be attached to the front passenger seat.
Switch the front passenger front airbag back on again as soon as the child seat on the front passenger seat is no longer being used.
NOTICE
If the key bit is not inserted far enough, the key switch could be damaged when the key is turned.
NOTICE
Do not leave the vehicle key in the key switch, as this could result in damage to the interior door trim, dash panel, key switch or vehicle key
when the front passenger door is closed.
