Function of the PASSENGER AIR BAG indica‐
tor lamps
Vehicles without automatic front passenger air‐
bag shutoff have a special sticker affixed to the
side of the cockpit on the front passenger side
(
/
page 65).
Self-test of automatic front passenger airbag
shutoff
When the ignition is switched on, a self-test is
performed during which the two PASSENGER
AIR BAG ON and OFF indicator lamps light up
simultaneously.
The status of the front passenger airbag is dis‐
played via the PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator
lamps after the self-test:
R
ON is lit: the front passenger airbag may
deploy during an accident.
The indicator lamp goes out after approx‐
imately 60 seconds.
R
ON and OFF are not lit: the front passenger
airbag may deploy during an accident.
R
OFF is lit: the front passenger airbag is disa‐
bled. It will then not be deployed in the event
of an accident.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is
off, only the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp shows the status of the front passenger
airbag. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp may be lit continuously or be off.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
and the 6 restraint system warning lamp
light up simultaneously, the front passenger seat
may not be used. Also in this case, do not fit a
child restraint system to the front passenger
seat. Have the automatic front passenger airbag
shutoff checked and repaired immediately at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Status display
If the front passenger seat is occupied, ensure,
both before and during the journey, that the sta‐
tus of the front passenger airbag is correct for
the current situation.
After fitting a rearward-facing child restraint
system to the front passenger seat:
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF must be lit continu‐
ously.
