| Deactivating and activating passenger-side airbag units (adaptation) |
| It is then necessary to deactivate the front passenger airbag unit if it is intended to use a child seat on the front passenger seat in which the child faces with its back to the direction of travel. |
| In certain countries, national legislation also requires deactivation of the side and head airbags. |
| The front passenger airbag unit must be activated again as soon as the child seat is no longer required. |
WARNING | Deactivation of the passenger-side airbag units must comply with the legal requirements and regulations of the country concerned! |
| Safety precautions when carrying out repairs on the airbag system → Chapter! |

| Deactivate front airbag with the key switch |
| For vehicles which are fitted with the key switch for front passenger airbag, the switching on and off of the front airbag (if the vehicle is also fitted with side airbag, the switching on and off of the side airbag is performed simultaneously) is performed by means of the key switch on the right side of the dash panel. The driver can only operate the key switch with the ignition key when the ignition is switched off. Switching off the front passenger front airbag is indicated by means of a warning light in the middle of the dash panel. |
| Switching off of airbag using the key switch does not have to be registered or entered into the service schedule. The specified adhesive label must not be affixed. |
| Deactivate front airbag without the key switch |
| Blocking the side and head airbag is undertaken using the diagnostic unit → Vehicle diagnostic tester Targeted functions, airbag, activation and deactivation of airbag units. |
| When blocking the airbag units it is necessary to pull out the appropriate plugs from the airbag unit. |
| After the passenger-side airbag units have been deactivated, the warning light -K75- comes on at first for about 4 seconds after the ignition is switched on and then flashes for about 12 seconds. This indicates that an ignition circuit is deactivated. |
| If the airbag units are deactivated, faults relating to airbag deactivation are stored in the fault memory and, after the airbag units are subsequently re-activated, the faults in the fault memory are erased. |
| It is necessary to complete the „registration card for airbag systems/belt tensioner“ each time the passenger-side airbag unit is deactivated (switched off) and each time it is re-activated. The original document remains in the Service Department, the 1st copy is sent to the ŠKODA Service Department (Czech Republic) or to the Importer for registration (other countries), while the 2nd copy is handed over to the customer (inserted into Service Book). |
| The blocking and activation of the airbag units on the front passenger's side must be recorded in the Service Schedule. |
| The specified sticker S00.5800.39.xx (xx - language number) must be affixed during the entire period that the passenger-side airbag units are deactivated. Make holes on the sticker e.g. using punch pliers and through this mark the deactivated airbag unit. Affix the sticker on the dash panel in the front passenger area above the „AIRBAG“ logo. This sticker is intended to draw the attention of the occupants to the fact that the passenger-side airbag units have been deactivated. |
