Deactivating Airbags - Seat Toledo 2019 Owner's Manual

For safety reasons, the curtain airbag
●
must be disabled in those vehicles fitted
with a screen dividing the interior of the ve-
hicle. See your technical service to make
this adjustment.
There must be no other persons, animals
●
or objects between the occupants of the
rear seats and the deployment space of
the head-protection airbags so that the
head-protection airbag can deploy without
restriction and provide the greatest possi-
ble protection. Therefore, sun blinds which
have not been expressly approved for use
in your vehicle may not be attached to the
side windows
The built-in coat hooks should be used
●
only for lightweight clothing. Do not leave
any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the
pockets. Please, do not hang the clothes on
coat hangers.
The airbags provide protection for just
●
one accident; replace them once they have
deployed.
Any work on the head-protection airbag
●
system or removal and installation of the
airbag components for other repairs (such
as removal of the roof lining) should only
be performed by a specialised workshop.
Otherwise, faults may occur during the air-
bag system operation.
Do not attempt to modify components of
●
the airbag system in any way.
The side and head airbags are managed
●
through sensors located in the interior of
72
Safety
the front doors. To ensure the correct oper-
ation of the side and curtain airbags nei-
ther the doors nor the door panels should
be modified in any way (e.g. fitting loud-
speakers). If the front door is damaged, the
airbag system may not work correctly. All
work carried out on the front door must be
done in a specialised workshop.

Deactivating airbags

Introduction
The disabling of airbags is only carried out
in certain cases, i.e. if:
a child seat is required in the front passen-
●
ger seat with the child facing in the opposite
direction to the direction of travel (in some
countries, due to divergent legal require-
ments, facing in the direction of travel)

page 76;
despite the driver's seat being in the correct
●
position, a minimum distance of 25 cm can-
not be maintained between the centre of the
steering wheel and the driver's torso,
installation of special devices is required in
●
the steering wheel area due to a physical dis-
ability,
if you have special seats installed (e.g. an
●
orthopaedic seat without side airbags).
The front passenger front airbag can be disa-
›››
bled using the switch page 73.
We recommend that you contact an author-
ised SEAT dealer for the disabling of other air-
bags.
Airbag system control
The airbag system availability is controlled
electronically, regardless of whether an air-
bag is disabled.
If an airbag was disabled using a diagnos-
tics system:
the airbag system warning lamp
●
nates after switching on the ignition for about
4 seconds, and then flashes for about 12 sec-
onds.
If the airbag has been disabled with the
airbag switch on the side of the dash pan-
el:
the airbag control lamp will illuminate for
● 
about 4 seconds after the ignition is switched
on,
the airbag is disabled, signalled with the
●
warning lamp which lights up with the
