the function of the sensors being impaired.
The air bags might therefore not function
properly anymore. Consequently, the air
bags cannot protect vehicle occupants as
they are designed to do. There is an
increased risk of injury.
Never modify the doors or parts of the
doors. Always have work on the doors or
door paneling carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.

WARNING
A deployed air bag no longer offers any
protection and cannot provide the inten-
ded protection in an accident. There is an
increased risk of injury.
Have the vehicle towed to a qualified spe-
cialist workshop in order to have a
deployed air bag replaced.
Have deployed air bags replaced immedi-
ately.
Status of the front-passenger front air
bag
Important notes when the front-passenger
seat is occupied
The automatic front-passenger air bag deac-
tivation system can detect if there is a person
or a child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat. The front-passenger air bag
is enabled or disabled accordingly.
When installing a child restraint system on
the front-passenger seat:
R
ensure that the child restraint system is
positioned correctly (
Y
page 42)
R
always comply with the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation
instructions
R
never place objects, such as cushions,
under or behind the child restraint system
R
the base of the child restraint system must
lie fully against the seat cushion of the
front-passenger seat
R
the back of a forward-facing child
restraint system must lie as flat as possi-
ble against the front-passenger backrest
R
the child restraint system must not touch
the roof. Adjust the angle of the seat back-
rest accordingly
G
WARNING
Objects between the seat surface and the
child restraint system could affect the
function of the automatic front-passenger
front air bag deactivation system. This
could result in the front-passenger air bag
not functioning as intended during an
accident. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
Do not place any objects between the seat
surface and the child restraint system. The
entire base of the child restraint system
must always rest on the seat cushion of the
front-passenger seat. The backrest of the
forwardfacing child restraint system
must, as far as possible, be resting on the
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:
R
have the seat belt fastened correctly
R
sit in a position that is as upright as pos-
sible with the back against the seat back-
rest
R
have their feet resting on the floor, if pos-
sible
Otherwise the front-passenger air bag can
be disabled by mistake, for instance because
the front-passenger:
R
has transferred their weight by leaning on
the armrests in the vehicle
R
sits in such a way that the weight on the
seat cushion is reduced
G
WARNING
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp is lit, the front-passenger front air
bag is disabled. It will not be deployed in
the event of an accident and cannot per-
form its intended protective function. A
