page 104).
X
Switch off the ignition.

Open the co-driver's door.
X
Remove the child and the child restraint system from the co-driver's seat.
X
Make sure that no objects are applying additional weight to the co-driver's seat,
or that there are no objects trapped by the co-driver's seat.
The system may otherwise detect the additional weight and interpret the vehicle
occupant's weight on the co-driver's seat as greater than it actually is.
X
Make sure that the co-driver's seat is unoccupied, close the co-driver's door and
switch on the ignition.
X
Observe the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp in the centre console and
check the following:
the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp must light up continuously when
the seat is unoccupied and when the ignition is switched on. If the PASSENGER
AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is on, the automatic front-passenger front airbag
deactivation system has disabled the front-passenger front airbag.
X
Wait for at least one minute until the necessary system checks have been com-
pleted.
If these conditions are met, the co-driver's seat can be occupied again. Depending
on the build of the person on the co-driver's seat, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp may be off or may light up continuously. Observe the notes regard-
ing weight classification for the automatic front-passenger front airbag deactiva-
tion system.
