Safety
SEAT recommends fitting the child seat in the
rear seat to avoid having to deactivate the front
passenger airbag.
When the front passenger airbag is deactiva-
ted, this means that only the front passenger
front airbag is deactivated. All the other airbags
in the vehicle remain activated.
Deactivate and activate the front passenger
front airbag

Switch the ignition o.
●
Open the passenger side door.
●
Remove the key shaft from the vehicle key.
●
Insert the key blade into the slot provided
in the front passenger airbag disconnection
switch ›››Fig.28. About 3/4 of the key should
enter; this is as far as it will go.
●
Turn the key gently to change its position to
(deactivate) or to (activate). If you have
diculty, ensure that you have inserted the key
as far as it will go.
●
Close the front passenger door.
●
When deactivating the airbag, switch the ig-
nition on and check that the control lamp
remains lit ›››Fig.29.
●
When reactivating the airbag, check that
when the ignition is switched on, the con-
trol lamp does not light up and the 
lamp
lights up for 60 seconds and then turns o.
WARNING
●
The driver of the vehicle is responsible for
disabling or switching on the airbag.
●
Always switch o the ignition before disa-
bling the front passenger airbag! Failure to
do so could result in a fault in the airbag de-
activation system.
●
Never leave the key in the airbag disabling
switch as it could get damaged or enable or
disable the airbag during driving.
●
If for any reason an airbag is deactivated,
reactivate it as soon as possible so that it
can fulfil its protective function.
Central airbag

backrest: central airbag.
Fig.31
Fully inflated central airbag
(deployment zone).
The central airbag is installed for the front seats
and is located in the inner padding of the driv-
er's seat backrest.
The location of the central airbag is indicated
by the inscription “AIRBAG” ›››Fig.30.
When triggered, the central airbag fills the
marked zone (deployment zone) ›››Fig.31. For
this reason, never place or fix objects in this
zone ››› .
The central airbag triggers in the case of a side
collision or if the vehicle overturns, reducing the
risk of vehicle occupants suering injuries.
