GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Manual deactivation
The passenger side airbag can be de-
activated if it is absolutely necessary to
carry a child in the front passenger
seat.
Deactivation / reactivation shall be
carried out with ignition device at
STOP. Turn the specific switch fig.
142 on the dashboard on passenger
side with the ignition key.
IMPORTANT Operate the switch
only with engine off and ignition key
removed.
The switch fig. 142 has two posi-
tions:
– Passenger front airbag on: (position
ON
P ): instrument panel warning
light
F off. Do not carry children on
the front seat.
– Passenger front airbag off: (position
OFF
F ): instrument panel warning
light
F on. A child can be carried on
the front seat with a suitable restraint
system.
Warning light
F on the cluster
stays on permanently until the pas-
senger’s airbag is reactivated.
Deactivation of the passenger’s front
air bag does not inhibit operation of
the side air bag.
SERIOUS DANGER:
With passenger’s
air bag active (ON),
never place child’s seats with the
cradle facing backwards since the
air bag activation could cause to
the child serious injuries, even
mortal. In the case of need, al-
ways deactivate the passenger’s
air bag when a child’s seat is
placed on the front seat. The
front passenger’s seat shall be ad-
justed in the most backward po-
sition to prevent any contact be-
tween child’s seat and dashboard.
Even if not compulsory by law,
you are recommended to reac-
tivate the air bag immediately as
soon as child transport is no
longer necessary.
