  Deactivation 
 This  warning  light  comes  
on  on  the  instrument  panel 
when  the  ignition  is  on  and 
until the air bag is re-armed. 
 To guarantee the safety of your child, 
it  is  imperative  that  the  passenger 
air bag is disarmed when you install 
a  "rearwards-facing"  child  seat  on 
the front passenger seat.  
 Otherwise, the child would risk be- 
ing  seriously  injured  or  killed  if  the 
air bag were triggered.     Reactivation  
 When  you  remove  the  child  seat,  
turn switch  
1  to the   "ON"  position to 
re-arm the air bag and so guarantee 
the safety of your front passenger in 
the event of an impact.   
  Operating fault  
 If this warning light comes on on  
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible warning and 
a message on the multifunction 
display,  contact  a  CITROËN  dealer  to 
have  the  system  checked. The  air  bags 
may no longer be triggered in the event 
of a serious impact. 
   I f    t h i s    w a r n i n g    l i g h t    fl   a s h e s ,  
contact a CITROËN dealer. 
 If both air bag warning lights come 
on  continuously,  do  not  install  a 
"rearwards-facing"  child  seat  on 
the front passenger seat.  
 Have  it  checked  by  a  CITROËN  
dealer. 
 Only  the  front  passenger's  air  bag 
can be disarmed:  
   
      with  the  ignition  off  ,  insert  the 
key in the passenger air bag dis- 
arming switch   1 , 
  
     turn it to the   "OFF"  position, 
  
     then,  remove  the  key  keeping 
the switch in this position.
