SAFETY
Deactivating the passenger
airbag
it is essential to deactivate the passenger airbag when you install a "rear-facing" child seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the air bag were t o i n fl a t e . With the ignition switched off , switched offinsert the key into the passenger airbag deactivation switch 1 , turn it to the "OFF" position, then remove the key keeping the switch in this position.
In the "OFF" position, the passenger air bag will not be triggered in the event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, turn the airbag switch to the "ON"position to re-activate the airbag and thus ensure the safety of your passenger in the event of an impact.
If the passenger airbag is deactivated, the warning lamp on the instrument panel remains on until the passenger airbag is reactivated.

the front or rear occupant and the
windows. It therefore limits the risk
of head injuries. In the event of a
minor impact or bump on the side of
the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls over,
the airbag may not be triggered. The
airbag is not triggered in the event of
a front or rear collision. Flashing indicates a
malfunction of at least one
of these airbags.

The air bags may no longer be triggered
in the event of a serious impact.

SIDE AIRBAGS * AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS *
The side airbags are built into the
front seat backs on the door side.
The triggering of these airbags
requires a serious side impact
applied in the side impact zone B ,
perpendicular to the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle, on a
horizontal plane and from the outside
of the vehicle towards the inside. The

injury to the chest.
The rear side airbags afford the rear
passengers the same protection
which the front side airbags offer the
front passengers.
The curtain airbags are built into the
headlining.
