MANUALLY DEACTIVATING PASSENGER’S
AIR BAG (Front and Side bag) (where required)
Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the front seat, the
passenger’s air bag on the car can be deactivated.
Deactivation/activation takes place with ignition key at STOP and
operating it in the special key switch on the right-hand side of the
dashboard.
IMPORTANT Operate the switch only when the engine is not running
and the ignition key is removed.
The key-operated switch has two positions:
❒ passenger’s air bag (Front and Side bag) activated (ON position P):
warning light F on instrument cluster off; it is absolutely prohibited
to carry a child on the front seat.
❒ passenger’s front air bag (Front and Side bag) deactivated (OFF
position F): warning light F on instrument cluster on; it is
possible to carry a child protected by special restraint system on the
front seat.
The warning light F on the cluster stays on permanently until the
passenger’s air bag is reactivated (Front and Side bag).
The key can be removed when in both positions.
