If the front passenger seat is occupied, the clas‐
sification of the person or child restraint system
on the front passenger seat takes place after the
front passenger airbag shutoff self-test. The
PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamps display the
status of the front passenger airbag.
Always observe the notes on the function of the
PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamps
(

page 46).
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 60 sec‐
onds.
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.
