backrest of the forwards-facing child restraint
system must, as far as possible, be resting on
the backrest of the front-passenger seat. The
child restraint system must not touch the roof
or be put under strain by the head restraint.
Adjust the angle of the seat backrest and the
head restraint position accordingly. Only then
is the correct function of the automatic front-
passenger front airbag deactivation system
guaranteed. Always observe the information
on suitable positioning of the child restraint
system (
Y
page 65) in addition to the child
restraint system manufacturer's installation
instructions.
Operation of automatic front-passenger
airbag deactivation
:
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
;
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
The indicator lamps inform you whether the
front-passenger front airbag is disabled or
enabled.
X
Press the Start/Stop button once or twice,
or turn the key to position 1 or 2 in the
ignition lock.
The system carries out a self-diagnosis.
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamps
must light up simultaneously for approx-
imately six seconds.
The indicator lamps display the status of the
front-passenger front airbag.
R
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF : lights up: the
front-passenger front airbag is disabled. It
will then not be deployed in the event of an
accident.
R
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON ; lights up: the
front-passenger front airbag is enabled. If,
in the case of an accident, all deployment
criteria are met, the front-passenger front
airbag is deployed.
If the status of the front-passenger front air-
bag changes while the vehicle is in motion, an
airbag display message appears in the instru-
ment cluster (
Y
page 278). When the front-
passenger seat is occupied, always pay atten-
tion to the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamps. Be
aware of the status of the front-passenger
front airbag both before and during the jour-
ney.
If there is no child restraint system fitted to
the front-passenger seat, the front passenger
must sit:
R
with the seat belt fastened correctly
R
in an almost upright position with their
back against the seat backrest
R
with their feet resting on the floor, if possi-
ble
If the front passenger does not observe these
conditions, the automatic front-passenger
front airbag deactivation system may be influ-
enced, e.g. because the front passenger:
R
transfers their weight by supporting them-
selves on a vehicle armrest
R
sits in such a way that their weight is raised
from the seat cushion
The front-passenger front airbag may be dis-
abled by mistake as a result of these or similar
actions. In this case, the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamp lights up perma-
nently. The front-passenger front airbag does
not then deploy during an accident.
G WARNING
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp
is lit, the front-passenger front airbag is disa-
bled. It will not be deployed in the event of an
accident and cannot perform its intended pro-
tective function. A person in the front-
