WARNING
If restraint system is malfunctioning, restraint
system components may be triggered unin-
tentionally or might not be triggered at all in
the event of an accident with a high rate of
vehicle deceleration. This can affect the Emer-
gency Tensioning Device or air bag, for exam-
ple. This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired in a qualified specialist workshop as
soon as possible.

The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
shows you the status of the front-passenger
front air bag.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp:
R
lights up, the front-passenger air bag is deac-
tivated. It will not be deployed in the event of
an accident.
R

bag is activated. If, in the case of an accident,
all deployment criteria are met, the front-
passenger front air bag is deployed.
Depending on the person in the front-passenger
seat, the front-passenger front air bag must
either be deactivated or activated; see the fol-
lowing points. You must make sure of this both
before and during a journey.
R
Child in the child restraint system:
whether the front-passenger air bag is acti-
vated or deactivated depends on the child
restraint system installed, as well as the age
and size of the child. It is thus essential to
comply with the instructions on the “Occu-
pant Classification System (OCS)”
(
Y
page 51) and “Children in the vehicle”
(
Y
page 57). Information is also included
here on rearward or forward-facing child
restraint systems on the front-passenger
seat.
R
All other persons: depending on the person
classified as occupying the front-passenger
seat, the front-passenger air bag must be
activated or deactivated (
Y
page 51). Be
sure to observe the notes on "Seat belts"
(
Y
page 45) and "Air bags" (
Y
page 48).
Information is also included here on the cor-
rect seating position.
Seat belts
Introduction
A correctly fastened seat belt is the most effec-
tive means of restraining the movement of vehi-
cle occupants in the event of an accident or the
vehicle rolling over. This reduces the risk of
vehicle occupants coming into contact with
parts of the vehicle interior or being thrown from
the vehicle. Furthermore, the seat belt helps to
keep the vehicle occupants in the best position
in relation to the air bag.
The seat belt system consists of:
R
Seat belts
R
Emergency Tensioning Devices for the front
seat belts
If the vehicle is equipped with a front air bag,
the seat belt system also includes a seat belt
force limiter for the corresponding seat.
If the seat belt is pulled quickly or suddenly from
the belt outlet, the inertia reel locks. The belt
strap cannot be pulled out further.
Emergency Tensioning Devices tighten the seat
belts in an accident, pulling them close against
