WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
objects between the seat surface and
the child restraint system
Objects between the seat surface and the
child restraint system could affect the func‐
tion of the automatic front passenger front
airbag shutoff.
This could result in the front passenger front
airbag not functioning as intended during an
accident.
#
Do not place any objects between the
sitting surface and the child restraint
system.
#
The entire base of the child restraint
system must always rest on the sitting
surface of the front passenger seat.
#
The backrest of the forward-facing child
restraint system must, as far as possi‐
ble, be resting on the seat backrest of
the front passenger seat.
#
Always comply with the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation
instructions.
A person on the front passenger seat must
observe the following information:
R
Fasten seat belts correctly (
→
page 34).
R
Sit in an almost upright seat position with
their back against the seat backrest.
R
Sit with their feet resting on the floor, if pos‐
sible.
Otherwise, the front passenger front airbag may
be disabled by mistake, for example in the fol‐
lowing situations:
R
The front passenger transfers their weight by
supporting themselves on a vehicle armrest.
R
The front passenger sits in such a way that
their weight is raised from the sitting sur‐
face.

WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
deactivated front passenger airbag
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
lamp is lit, the front passenger airbag is disa‐
bled. It will not be deployed in the event of
an accident and cannot perform its intended
protective function.
A person in the front passenger seat could
then, for example, come into contact with
the vehicle interior, especially if the person is
sitting 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 disa‐
bled 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.
#
Ensure, both before and during the jour‐
ney, that the status of the front
passenger airbag is correct.
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 front airbag deactivation system
self-test. The status of the front passenger front
airbag is displayed.
