Child safety: deactivating, activating the front passenger airbag

Deactivating the front passenger airbag

Before installing a child seat on the front passenger seat:
  • check that the child seat can be installed on this seat;
  • you must deactivate the airbag when using a rear-facing child seat.
To deactivate the airbag: with the vehicle stationary and the ignition switched off, push and turn the lock 1 to the OFF position.
When the ignition is switched on, you must check that the warning light 2 is properly lit.
This warning light remains continuously lit to let you know that you can fit a child seat.
WARNING
The passenger airbag must only be activated or deactivated when the vehicle is stationary with the ignition off.
If handled when the ignition is on, the warning light img_2_all_094_1.svg comes on.
Switch the ignition off then on again to reset the airbag according to the lock position.
The markings on the dashboard and the labels A on each side of the passenger sun visor 3 (see example of label above) are provided to remind you of these instructions.

Activation of the front passenger airbag

You should reactivate the airbag 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 airbag: with the vehicle stationary and the ignition switched off, push and turn the lock 1 to the ON position.
When the ignition is switched on, you must check that the warning light 2 is off.
The front passenger airbag has been activated.

Operating faults

It is forbidden to fit a rear-facing child seat to the front passenger seat if the front passenger airbag 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;
WARNING
DANGER
As the deployment of the front passenger airbag is not compatible with the positioning of a rear-facing child seat, NEVER fit a rear-facing child restraint system on a seat protected by an ACTIVATED front AIRBAG. This may lead to the DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY of the CHILD.
WARNING
The passenger airbag must only be activated or deactivated while the vehicle is stationary with the ignition off.
If handled when the ignition is on, the warning light img_2_all_094_1.svg comes on.
Switch the ignition off then on again to reset the airbag according to the lock position.
