Deactivating airbags
Deactivating an airbag should be considered only in the following cases, for
example.
›
When using a child seat on the front passenger seat, in which the child has
its back to the vehicle's direction of travel (in some countries this must be in
the direction of travel due to different legal regulations applying)
Transporting children safely.
›
If it is not possible to maintain a distance of at least 25 cm between the mid-
dle of the steering wheel and chest, despite the driver's seat being correctly
adjusted.
›
If special attachments are required in the area of the steering wheel because
of a physical disability.

If other seats have been installed (e.g. orthopaedic seats without side air-
bags).
