Lightweight Seat
Aston Martin strongly recommends not to install any child seat on
the passenger seat of this vehicle.
If a forward facing child seat is to be used in the passenger seat, follow
the child seat manufacturer's instructions to secure the child seat and
move the front passenger seat to its rearmost and lowest position.
If a child seat is to be used in the front passenger seat, the front
passenger airbag must be set to OFF. Make sure that the child seat
manufacturer's installation instructions are followed correctly.
Sport Seat
Warning: With the exception of installing a child seat on the
front passenger seat, do not set the PAD switch to OFF, as the
front passenger will not receive the added protection of the
airbag. Serious injuries or even death could occur.
Warning: Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster
cushion on the front passenger seat if the airbag is set to ON.
If a child seat is to be used in the front passenger seat, the front
passenger airbag must be set to OFF. Make sure that the child seat

Passenger Airbag Deactivation

Warning: Before installing a child seat on the passenger seat,
the passenger airbag must be set to OFF.
Warning: Before driving always confirm that the PAD switch
is in the appropriate position according to your requirements.
Warning: With the exception of installing a child seat on the
passenger seat, do not set the PAD switch to OFF, as the
passenger will not receive the added protection of the airbag.
Serious injuries or even death could occur.
The PAD switch does not set the passenger seat side impact
airbags or the seat belt pre-tensioners to OFF.
The Passenger Airbag Deactivation (PAD) switch lets the airbag
protecting the passenger be set to OFF. When the PAD is set to OFF
a child seat may be installed on the passenger seat. At ignition ON, if
the passenger airbag is set to OFF, PASS AIRBAG OFF will show in the
message centre.
The PAD switch is located on the passenger end of the instrument
panel and is accessible when the front passenger door is open.
