mains lit ( stays yellow)
 
If the control lamp on the dash panel
 
does not remain lit or is lit in combination
with the control lamp on the instrument

panel, a child restraint system cannot be
mounted on the front passenger seat for
safety reasons. The front passenger front air-
bag may deploy during an accident.
WARNING
The front passenger front airbag must only
be disabled in special cases.
Disable and activate the front passenger
●
front airbag when the ignition is switched
off to avoid damage to the airbag system.
It is the driver's responsibility to ensure
●
that the key operated switch is set to the
correct position.
Only disable the front passenger front
●
airbag when a child seat is to be mounted
under exceptional circumstances.
As soon as the child seat is no longer
●
needed on the front passenger seat, recon-
nect the front passenger front airbag.

Introduction
Before transporting babies and children in a
child seat placed in the front passenger seat,
first completely read the information regard-
ing the airbag system.
This information is extremely important for
driver and passenger safety, particularly that
of babies and children.
SEAT recommends the use of child seats from
the SEAT accessory programme. These child
seats have been designed and tested for use
in SEAT vehicles. You can purchase child
seats with different mountings from a SEAT
dealership.
WARNING
Make sure children are properly belted in
and correctly secured to avoid severe or
fatal injuries while the vehicle is in motion.
Never use a rear-facing child seat in the
●
front passenger seat if the front passenger
front airbag is enabled.
Children up to 12 years old should always
●
travel on the rear seat.
Children must always be protected with
●
an approved child restraint system suited
to their height and weight.
Children must assume the proper sitting
●
position and be properly belted in while
travelling.
Ensure the seat backrest is upright when
●
a child seat is being used on it.
Do not allow the child's head or other
●
part of his or her body to enter the deploy-
ment area of the side airbags.
Make sure the belt webbing is correctly
●
positioned.
Never hold children or babies on your lap
●
or in your arms.
Only one child may occupy a child seat.
●
Please read and observe the child seat
●
manufacturer's handling instructions.
WARNING
An empty or loose child seat could fly un-
controllably around the vehicle interior and
cause injuries in the event of an accident or
sudden braking.
When not in use while the vehicle is in
●
motion, always safely secure the child seat
or store it in the luggage compartment.
Note
Replace the child seat after an accident,
as it may have invisible damage.
