Fitting the passenger
airbag deactivation switch
WARNING
If you need to fit a child restraint
on a seat protected by an
operational airbag in front of it, have
a passenger airbag deactivation
switch fitted. Ask your dealer for
further information.
Note: The key switch is located in
the glove compartment with an
airbag deactivation lamp in the
instrument panel.
If the airbag warning lamp illuminates
or flashes when you are driving, this
indicates a malfunction. See
Warning lamps and indicators
(page 56). Remove the child restraint
and have the system checked
immediately.
