The front passenger airbag must be deactivated when a rear-facing child restraint system is fitted in that seat. This is because, if the airbag deploys, the force and speed with which it expands could put the child in the rear-facing restraint system at risk. When minors are taller than 1.35 m, they may sit in the front seat using the adult seat belt.
