ting the front passenger seat
››› page 100. WARNING
● An incorrect sitting position of the front
passenger can lead to severe injuries.
● Adjust the front passenger seat so that
there is at least 25 cm between your chest
and the dash panel. If distance is less than
25 cm, the airbag system may not protect you
properly.
● If your physical constitution prevents you
from maintaining the minimum distance of 25
cm, contact a specialised workshop. The
workshop will help you decide if special spe-
cific modifications are necessary.
● Always keep your feet in the footwell when
the vehicle is moving; never rest them on the
dash panel, out the window or on the seat. An
incorrect sitting position exposes you to an
increased risk of injury in case of a sudden
braking or an accident. If the airbag is trig-
gered, you could sustain severe injuries due
to an incorrect sitting position.
● To reduce the risk of injury to the front pas-
senger in events such as sudden braking ma-
noeuvres or an accident, never travel with the
backrest tilted far back! The airbag system
and seat belts can only provide optimal pro-
tection when the backrest is in an upright po-
sition and the front passenger is wearing his or her seat belt properly. The further the seat
backrests are tilted to the rear, the greater
the risk of injury due to incorrect positioning
of the belt web or to the incorrect sitting po-
sition!
●
Adjust the head restraint correctly in order
to achieve maximum protection. Correct sitting position for passengers
in the rear seats
To reduce the risk of injury in the event of a
sudden braking manoeuvre or an accident,
passengers on the rear seat bench must con-
sider the following:
–
Sit up straight.
– Adjust the head restraint to the correct po-
sition ››› page 32 .
– Alw

ays keep both feet in the footwell in
front of the rear seat.
– Fasten your seat belt securely ››› page 34.
– Use an appropriate child restraint system
when you take children in the vehicle
››› page 46. WARNING
● If the passengers in the rear seats are not
sitting properly, they could sustain severe in-
juries. ●
Adjust the head restraint correctly in order
to achieve maximum protection.
● Seat belts can only provide optimal protec-
tion when seat backrests are in an upright
position and the vehicle occupants are wear-
ing their seat belts correctly. If passengers In
the rear seats are not sitting in an upright po-
sition, the risk of injury due to incorrect posi-
tioning of the seat belt increases. Correct adjustment of front head
restraints

Airbag system
Head-protection airbags* Fig. 60
Location and deployment area of the
head-protection airbag. There is a head airbag on each side of the in-
terior above the doors
››› Fig. 60 . Airbags are
identified b y
the word “AIRBAG”.
The area framed in red is covered by the head
protection airbag when it is deployed
››› Fig. 60 (deployment area). Therefore, ob-
jects

should never be placed or mounted in
this area ››› .
In the event of a side collision the curtain air-
bag is triggered on the impact side of the ve-
hicle.
In side collisions, the head-protection air-
bags reduce the risk of injury to passengers
in the front and rear side seats facing the im-
pact. WARNING
The airbag is deployed at high speed in frac-
tions of a second.
● Do not obstruct the head-protection airbag
deployment areas.
● Never secure objects over the curtain air-
bag cover or in its deployment area.
● Occupants of the front seats and rear side
seats must never carry any other people, ani-
mals or objects in the deployment space be-
tween them and the airbags. Make sure that
all the vehicle occupants, including children,
observe this.
● The clothes hangers are intended only for
light articles of clothing. Do not leave any
heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets.
● Do not mount accessories on the doors.
● Use only sun blinds which have been ex-
pressly approved for use in your vehicle.
● Do not turn the sun blinds towards the win-
dows if there are objects, e.g. pens or garage
remote controls, secured to them. Deactivating airbags

Safety
If you fit a rear-facing child seat to the front
passenger seat, the front passenger front air-
bag must be de-activated.
When the front passenger airbag is deactiva-
ted , this means that only the front passenger
fr ont
airbag is deactivated. All the other air-
bags in the vehicle remain activated.
Activating the front passenger front airbag
– Switch the ignition off.
– Open the glove compartment on the front
passenger side.
– Insert the key into the slot of the switch for
deactivating the front passenger airbag
››› Fig. 61. About 3/4 of the key should en-
ter

, as far as it will go.
– Then turn the key gently to the  position.
Do not force it if you feel resistance, and
make sure you have inserted the key fully.
– When the ignition is switched on, check
whether the control lamp   
  on the dash panel does ››› Fig. 62 not
light

up ››› .
WARNING
● It is the driver's responsibility to ensure
that the key operated switch is set to the cor-
rect position.
● You should deactivate the front passenger
front airbag only if you have to use a rear-fac- ing child seat in exceptional cases
››› page 46, Transporting children safety.
● Never install a child seat facing backwards
on the front passenger seat unless the front
passenger front airbag has been disabled.
Otherwise, there is a risk of death.
● As soon as the child seat is no longer nee-
ded on the front passenger seat, enable the
front passenger front airbag again.
● Only deactivate the front passenger front
airbag when the ignition is off, otherwise a
fault may occur in the airbag system, which
could cause the airbag to not deploy properly
or not deploy at all in case of an accident.
● Never leave the key in the airbag disabling
switch as it could get damaged or enable or
disable the airbag during driving.
● When the passenger airbag is deactivated,
if the control lamp      is not
continuously lit up when the front passenger
airbag is disabled, there may be a fault in the
airbag system:
–Have the airbag system inspected imme-
diately by a specialised workshop.
– Do not use a child seat on the front pas-
senger seat! The front passenger front
airbag could be triggered in the event of
an accident, even if there is a fault in the
system and, as a result, a child could sus-
tain serious or fatal injuries.
– It is unpredictable whether the front pas-
senger airbag will deploy in the event of
an accident. Warn all your passengers of
this. Transporting children safety
Safety for children Introduction For safety reasons, as we have learned from
accident statistics, we recommend that chil-
dren under 12 years of age travel in the rear
seats. Depending on their age, height and
weight, children travelling in rear seats must
use a child seat or a seat belt. For safety rea-
sons, the child seat should be installed in the
rear seat, behind the front passenger seat or
in the centre back seat.
The physical laws involved and the forces
acting in a collision apply also to children
››› page 36 . But unlike adults, children do not
h av

e fully developed muscle and bone struc-
tures. This means that children are subject to
a greater risk of injury.
To reduce the risk of injuries, children must
always use special child restraint systems
when travelling in the vehicle.
We recommend the use of child safety prod-
ucts from the SEAT Original Accessories Pro-
gramme, which includes systems for all ages
made by “Peke” (not for all countries).
These systems have been especially de-
signed and approved, complying with the
ECE-R44. regulation.

Transporting children safety
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and
observe any statutory requirements when in-
stalling and using child seats. Always read
and note ››› page 47 .
W e r
ecommend you always carry the manu-
facturer's Child Seat Instruction Manual to-
gether with the on-board documentation.
Important information on the front
passenger airbag Fig. 63
Passenger's side sun visor: airbag
sticker. Fig. 64
On the rear frame of the passenger
side door: airbag sticker. A sticker with important information about
the passenger airbag is located on the pas-
senger's sun visor and/or on the passenger
side door frame. Read and always observe
the safety information included in the follow-
ing chapters:
● Safety distance with respect to the passen-
ger airbag ››› page 40 .
● Ob

jects between the passenger and the
passenger side airbag ››› in Front airbags
on page 43 .
The p a

ssenger side front airbag, when ena-
bled, is a serious risk for a child that is facing
backward since the airbag can strike the seat
with such force that it can cause serious or
fatal injuries. Children up to 12 years old
should always travel on the rear seat.
Therefore we strongly recommend you to
transport children on the rear seats. This is the safest location in the vehicle. Alternative-
ly, the front passenger airbag can be disa-
bled with a key-operated switch
››› page 45.
When transporting children, use a child seat
appropriate to the age and size of each child. WARNING
● If a child seat is secured to the front pas-
senger seat, the risk to the child of sustain-
ing critical or fatal injuries in the event of an
accident increases.
● An inflating front passenger airbag can
strike the rear-facing child seat and project it
with great force against the door, the roof or
the backrest.
● Never install a child seat facing backwards
on the front passenger seat unless the front
passenger front airbag has been disabled.
Risk of potentially fatal injuries to the child!
However, if it is necessary, in exceptional ca-
ses, to transport a child in the front passen-
ger seat, the front passenger front airbag
must always be disabled ››› page 45, Front
passenger airbag deactivation*. If the front
passenger seat has a height adjustment op-
tion, move it to the highest position.
● For those vehicles that do not include a key
lock switch to deactivate the airbag, the vehi-
cle must be taken to a technical service.
● All vehicle occupants, especially children,
must assume the proper sitting position and
be properly belted in while travelling. » 47
