WARNING Risk of injury or death due to a
disabled front passenger airbag
The front passenger airbag is disabled when
the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
is lit.
A person in the front passenger seat could
then, for example, come into contact with the
vehicle interior, especially if the person is sit-
ting too close to the cockpit.
If the front passenger seat is occupied, always
ensure that:
R
The classification of the person in the front
passenger seat is correct and the front
passenger airbag is enabled or disabled in
accordance with the person in the front
passenger seat.
R
The front passenger seat has been moved
as far back as possible.
R
The person is seated correctly.
#
Both before and during the journey,
ensure that the status of the front
passenger airbag is correct.
Malfunction of the automatic front passenger air
bag shutoff
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp and
the

simultaneously.
In this case, no one may use the front passenger
seat and no child restraint system may be instal-
led on the front passenger seat.
Have the automatic front passenger air bag shut-
off checked and repaired immediately at a quali-
fied specialist workshop.

sification of the person or child restraint system
on the front passenger seat.
You cannot manually deactivate or activate the
