WARNING
The driver of the vehicle is responsible for
●
disabling or switching on the airbag.
Always switch off the ignition before dis-
●
abling the front passenger airbag! Failure
to do so could result in a fault in the airbag
deactivation system.
Never leave the key in the airbag disa-
●
bling switch as it could get damaged or en-
able or disable the airbag during driving.
If for any reason an airbag is deactivated,
●
reactivate it as soon as possible so that it
can fulfil its protective function.
