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.

the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible warning and
a message on the multifunction

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