You can thus avoid the risks that could arise as
a result of:
R
a child restraint system that is not detected
by the automatic front-passenger front airbag
deactivation system
R
the unintentional disabling of the front-
passenger front airbag
R
the unsuitable positioning of the child
restraint system, e.g. too close to the dash-
board
Please observe the warning notice on the front-
passenger sun visor, see the illustration.

WARNING
If you secure a child on the co-driver's seat in
a rearward-facing child restraint system and
the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
lights up, the co-driver's airbag could be
deployed in the event of an accident. The child
could be struck by the airbag. There is an
increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
In this case, always ensure that the co-driver's
airbag is disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF indicator lamp must light up.
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of
it; DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can
occur.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is
lit, the front-passenger front airbag is enabled
(
Y
page 35).
Vehicles without the automatic front-
passenger front airbag deactivation
system
If the front-passenger seat of your vehicle is not
equipped with the automatic front-passenger
front airbag deactivation system, this is indica-
ted by a special sticker. The sticker is affixed to
the side of the dashboard on the front-
passenger side. The sticker is visible when you
open the front-passenger door.
If you turn the key to position 2 in the ignition
lock, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamps light
up briefly. However, they have no function and
do not indicate that there is an automatic front-
passenger front airbag deactivation system.
Always fit the rearward-facing restraint system
to a suitable rear seat in this case (
Y
page 54).
Observe the following information under "Rear-
ward-facing child restraint system" and
"Forward-facing child restraint system" as well
as information on the suitable positioning of the
child restraint system (
Y
page 54).
Rearward-facing child restraint system
If it is absolutely necessary to fit a rearward-
facing child restraint system to the front-
passenger seat, always make sure that the
front-passenger front airbag is disabled. Only if
the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is
lit continuously (
Y
page 35)is the front-
passenger front airbag disabled.
Always observe the information on suitable
positioning of the child restraint system
(
Y
page 54) in addition to the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation and operat-
ing instructions.
