SEAT BELT REMINDER  
WARNING  
The occupant protection system will  
only provide optimum protection  
when you use the seat belt properly.  
The seat belt reminder warning  
lamp illuminates and an audible  
warning will sound if the driver's  
or front seat passenger's seat belt has  
not been fastened and the vehicle  
exceeds a relatively low speed. It will also  
illuminate if the driver's or front seat  
passenger's seat belt is unfastened when  
the vehicle is moving. The audible warning  
will go off after five minutes but the seat  
belt reminder warning lamp will remain on  
until the driver's or front seat passenger's  
seat belt is fastened.

Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock if you  
pull it sharply or if the vehicle is on a slope.  
Press the red button on the buckle to  
release the belt. Let it retract completely  
and smoothly.

Fitting the passenger airbag  
deactivation switch  
WARNING  
If you need to fit a child restraint on  
a seat protected by an operational  
airbag in front of it, have a  
E68587  
passenger airbag deactivation switch  
fitted. Ask your dealer for further  
information.  
WARNING  
Position the seat belt correctly for  
your safety and that of your unborn  
child. Do not use only the lap strap  
or the shoulder strap.  
Note: The key switch is located in the  
glove compartment with an airbag  
deactivation lamp in the instrument panel.  
Position the lap strap comfortably across  
your hips and low beneath your pregnant  
abdomen. Position the shoulder strap  
between your breasts, above and to the  
side of your pregnant abdomen.  
If the airbag warning lamp illuminates or  
flashes when you are driving, this indicates  
a malfunction. See Warning lamps and  
indicators (page 63). Remove the child  
restraint and have the system checked  
immediately.  
DISABLING THE  
PASSENGER AIRBAG  
WARNING  
Make sure that the passenger  
airbag is disabled when using a  
rearward facing child restraint on the  
front passenger seat.
