Operating faults
It is forbidden to fit a rear-facing child
seat to the front passenger seat if the
air bag activation/deactivation system
is faulty.
Allowing any other passenger to sit in
that seat is not recommended.
Contact your approved dealer as soon
as possible.
Activating the front
passenger air bags
You should reactivate the air bag as
soon as you remove the child seat from
the front passenger seat to ensure the
protection of the front passenger in the
event of an impact.
To reactivate the air bags: when the
vehicle is stationary, push and turn
lock 1 to the ON position.
With the ignition on, you must check
that the
¹ warning light 2, is off.
1
The passenger air bag must
only be deactivated or acti-
vated with the ignition off.
If it is interfered with when
the vehicle is being driven, indicator
lights
å and © will come
on.
Switch the ignition off then on again
to reset the air bag in accordance
with the lock.
DANgER
Since operation of the front
passenger air bag is not
compatible with the position
of a rear-facing child seat, NEVER
fit a rear-facing child seat on a front
passenger seat with an active front
air bag. The child may suffer very
serious injuries if the air bag is trig-
gered.
