If the message does not disappear after a repeat

possible.
Automatic deactivation of
the front passenger airbags
Principle
The system reads if the front passenger seat is
occupied by measuring the human body's resist‐
ance.
Front, knee, and side airbag on the front pas‐
senger's side are activated or deactivated.
General information
Before transporting a child on the front passen‐
ger seat, refer to the safety information and in‐
structions for children on the front passenger
seat, see Children.
Safety information
Warning
To ensure the front passenger airbag function,
the system must be able to detect whether a
person is sitting in the front passenger seat.
The entire seat cushion area must be used for
this purpose. There is a risk of injury or danger
to life. Make sure that the front passenger
keeps his or her feet in the floor area.
Fault of the automatic
deactivation system
When transporting older children and adults, the
front passenger airbags may be deactivated in
certain seat positions. In this case, the indicator
light for the front passenger airbags lights up.
In this case, change the seat position so that the
front passenger airbags are activated and the in‐
dicator light goes out.
If it is not possible to activate the airbags, have
the person sit in the rear.
To enable accurate recognition of the occupied
seat cushion:
▷ Do not attach covers, cushions, ball mats or
other items to the front passenger seat un‐
less they are specifically determined to be
safe for use on the front passenger seat.
▷ Do not place any electronic devices on the
front passenger seat if a child restraint sys‐
tem is to be installed on it.
▷ Do not place objects under the seat that can
press against the seat from below.
▷ No moisture in or on the seat.
Indicator light for the front
passenger airbags
The indicator light for the front-seat passenger
airbag in the headliner indicates the operating
state of the front-seat passenger airbag.
The light indicates whether the airbags are either
activated or deactivated.
After drive-ready state is switched on, the light
shortly lights up and then indicates whether the
airbags are either activated or deactivated.
▷ The indicator light lights up
when a child is properly
seated in a child restraint sys‐
tem or when the seat is
empty. The airbags on the
front passenger side are not
activated.
▷ The indicator light does not light up when, for
instance a correctly seated person of suffi‐
cient size is detected on the seat. The air‐
bags on the front passenger side are acti‐
vated.
Detected child restraint systems
The system generally detects children seated in
a child restraint system, particularly in child re‐
straint systems required by NHTSA at the point
