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 child seat recognition's sen-
sor system
R
the unintentional disabling of the co-driver's
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 co-
driver's sun visor, see the illustration.

WARNING
If you secure a child in a child restraint system
on the front-passenger seat and the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is
off, the front-passenger front airbag can
deploy in the event of an accident. The child
could be struck by the airbag. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Make sure that the front-passenger front air-
bag has been disabled. The PASSENGER AIR-
BAG OFF indicator lamp must be lit.
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.
Vehicles without automatic child seat
recognition on the co-driver's seat
If the co-driver's seat of your vehicle is not
equipped with automatic child seat recognition,
this is indicated by a special sticker. The sticker
is affixed to the side of the dashboard on the co-
driver's side. The sticker is visible when you
open the co-driver's door.
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
lights up briefly when the key is turned to posi-
tion
2
in the ignition lock. It has no function,
however, and does not indicate that the co-driv-
er's seat is equipped with automatic child seat
recognition.
Always fit the rearward-facing restraint system
to a suitable rear seat in this case (
Y
page 46).
Observe the following information under "Rear-
ward-facing child restraint system"
(
Y
page 44) and "Forward-facing child
restraint system" (
Y
page 45) and on suitable
positioning of the child restraint system
(
