Airbag system

WARNING

In order for the head-protection airbags

to provide their maximum protection, the

prescribed sitting position must always be

maintained with seat belts fastened while

travelling.

Otherwise, faults may occur during the air-

bag system operation.

Deactivating airbags

●

Do not attempt to modify components of

Activation and deactivation of front

the airbag system in any way.

●

The side and head airbags are managed

through sensors located in the interior of

the front doors. To ensure the correct oper-

ation of the side and curtain airbags nei-

ther the doors nor the door panels should

be modified in any way (e.g. fitting loud-

speakers). If the front door is damaged, the

airbag system may not work correctly. All

work carried out on the front door must be

done in a specialised workshop.

●

For safety reasons, the curtain airbag

must be disabled in those vehicles fitted

with a screen dividing the interior of the ve-

hicle. See your technical service to make

this adjustment.

●

There must be no other persons, animals

or objects between the occupants of the

outer seats and the deployment space of

the head-protection airbags so that the

head-protection airbag can deploy com-

pletely without restriction and provide the

greatest possible protection. Therefore,

sun blinds which have not been expressly

approved for use in your vehicle may not be

attached to the side windows

Fig. 98 Switch for activating and deactivating

the front passenger airbag.

●

The built-in coat hooks should be used

only for lightweight clothing. Do not leave

any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the

pockets. Please, do not hang the clothes on

coat hangers.

●

The airbags provide protection for just

one accident; replace them once they have

deployed.

Transporting children

safely

SEAT recommends securing the child seats

shown on the website as described below:

Safety for children

Introduction

el (group 0+): ISOFIX and support bracket

(Peke G0 Plus + ISOFIX Base (RWF)).

For safety reasons, as we have learned from

accident statistics, we recommend that chil-

dren under 12 years of age travel in the rear

seats. Depending on their age, height and

weight, children travelling in rear seats must

use a child seat or a seat belt. For safety rea-

sons, the child seat should be installed in the

rear seat, behind the front passenger seat or

in the centre back seat.

●

Child seats in the direction of travel (group

WARNING

1): ISOFIX and Top Tether (Peke G1 ISOFIX

DUO Plus).

In the event of a fault in the airbag and seat

belt tensioner system, the airbags and seat

belts may not trigger correctly, may fail to

trigger or may even trigger unexpectedly.

●

The vehicle occupants run the risk of sus-

taining severe or fatal injuries. Have the

system checked immediately by a special-

ised workshop.

The physical laws involved and the forces

acting in a collision apply also to children

››› page 72. But unlike adults, children do not

have fully developed muscle and bone struc-

tures. This means that children are subject to

a greater risk of injury.

●

Do not mount a child seat in the front

passenger seat or remove the mounted

child seat! The front passenger front airbag

may deploy during an accident in spite of

the fault.

To reduce the risk of injuries, children must al-

ways use special child restraint systems

when travelling in the vehicle.

CAUTION

Always pay attention to any lit control

lamps and to the corresponding descrip-

tions and instructions to avoid damage to

the vehicle or harm to the occupants.

We recommend the use of child safety prod-

ucts from the SEAT Original Accessories Pro-

gramme, which includes systems for all ages

made by “Peke” (not for all countries) (see
