Airbag system 45
Safety First Handling instructions Tips and Maintenance Technical Data
– Check that the warning lamp “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” in the
dash panel does ⇒ page 44, fig. 26 not light up when the igni-
tion is switched on ⇒ .
WARNING
• The driver is responsible for the proper position of the key-operated
switch.
• You should deactivate the front passenger airbag only if you have to use
a rear-facing child seat in exceptional cases ⇒ page 46, “Child safety”.
• For those versions that do not include a key operated switch for turning
the airbag off, the SEAT Authorised Service Centre must be consulted to do
this.
• Never install a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat unless
the front passenger airbag has been disabled. Risk of potentially fatal inju-
ries to the child! However, if it is necessary in exceptional circumstances to
transport a child in a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat, you
must always disable the front passenger airbag.
• As soon as the child seat is no longer needed on the front passenger
seat, enable the front passenger airbag again.
• Only deactivate the passenger airbag when the ignition is off, other-
wise a fault may occur in the airbag system, this will create a danger that
in case of an accident, the airbag does not deploy properly or does not
deploy at all.
• If, when the front passenger airbag is deactivated, the indi-
catorPASSENGER AIRBAG OFF on the instrument panel does not remain lit
then it is possible that the airbag is faulty:
− Have the airbag system inspected immediately by a qualified work-
shop.
− Do not use a child seat in the front passenger seat! The front
passenger airbag could be triggered in an accident despite the fact that
there is a fault in the system. A child could sustain serious or fatal inju-
ries.
− It is not certain whether the front passenger airbag will deploy
during an accident! Inform your passengers of this.
• When using the ignition key to activate / deactivate the passenger
frontal airbag, only the passenger frontal airbag will be activated / deacti-
vated. The side airbag and head airbag on the passenger side will remain
active.
