MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF
PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG
Should it be absolutely necessary to car-
ry a child on the front seat, the passenger’s
front air bag can be deactivated.
Deactivation/reactivation takes place with
ignition key at STOP, and operating it in
the special key switch on the right-hand
side of the dashboard. You can reach the
switch only if the door is opened.
When the door is open, the key can be in-
serted and removed in both positions.
IMPORTANT Operate the switch only
when the engine is not running and the ig-
nition key is removed.
The key-operated switch has two posi-
tions fig. 23:
❒ Passenger’s front air bag activated (ON
position
P
): warning light F on in-
strument panel off; it is absolutely pro-
hibited to carry a child on the front
seat.
❒ Passenger’s front air bag deactivated
(OFF position F): warning light F
on instrument panel on; it is possible to
carry a child protected by special re-
straint system on the front seat.
The warning light F on the instrument
panel stays on permanently until the pas-
senger’s air bag is reactivated.
Deactivation of the passenger’s front air
bag does not inhibit operation of the side
bag.
