person in the front-passenger seat could
then, for example, come into contact with
the vehicle's interior, especially if the per-
son is sitting too close to the dashboard.
This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
When the front-passenger seat is occu-
pied, always ensure that:
R
the classification of the person in the
front-passenger seat is correct and the
front-passenger front air bag is enabled
or disabled in accordance with the per-
son in the front-passenger seat
R
the front-passenger seat has been
moved back as far back as possible.
R
the person is seated correctly.
Make sure, both before and during the
journey, that the status of the front-
passenger front air bag is correct.
PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamps
System self-test
When the ignition is switched on, both
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and OFF indicator
lamps light up at the same time during the
system self-test.
The indicator lamps then display the status
of the front-passenger front air bag:
R
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up: the
front-passenger front air bag is enabled.
If, in the case of an accident, all deploy-
ment criteria are met, the front-passenger
front air bag is deployed.
R
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up: the
front-passenger front air bag is disabled.
It will then not be deployed in the event of
an accident.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
and restraint system warning lamp

light up at the same time, the front-
passenger seat may not be used. In this case,
do not install a child restraint system on the
front-passenger seat. Have the automatic
front-passenger air bag deactivation system
checked and repaired immediately at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Status indicator
If the front-passenger seat is occupied, make
sure that the status of the front-passenger
front air bag is correct for the prevailing
conditions both before and during the jour-
ney.
After installing a rearward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenger
seat:
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF must be lit con-
tinuously.

WARNING
If you secure a child in a rearward-facing
child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat and the PASSENGER AIR
BAG ON indicator lamp is lit up, the front-
passenger front air bag may deploy in an
accident. The child could be struck by the
air bag. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
Make sure that the front-passenger front
air bag has been deactivated. The
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
must be lit.
NEVER use a rearward-facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE
FRONT AIR BAG in front of it; DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY to the child can occur.
Observe the vehicle-specific notes when
installing a child restraint system on the
front-passenger seat (

The PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
may light up, depending on the child
restraint system and the size of the child. In
this case, do not install the rearward-facing
