forward-facing child restraint systems on the
front passenger seat.
Information on automatic front passenger
airbag shutoff
The front passenger airbag can only be deployed
in an accident if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp is off. If the front passenger seat
is occupied, make sure, both before and during
the journey, that the status of the front
passenger airbag is correct (
/
page 53).
* NOTE Important points to remember if
the front passenger seat is unoccupied
In an accident, the components of the
restraint system may deploy unnecessarily
on the front passenger side if:
R
There are heavy objects on the front
passenger seat.
R
The seat belt tongue is engaged in the
seat belt buckle of the front passenger
seat and the front passenger seat is
unoccupied.
#
Stow objects in a suitable place.
#
Only one person should use each seat
belt at any one time.
Depending on the detected accident situation,
the window curtain airbag on the front
passenger side may deploy. The airbag is
deployed regardless of whether the front
passenger seat is occupied.
Information on the rear airbag
Always observe the information on the rear air‐
bag, especially in the following situations:
R
A person is sitting on the outer rear seat.
R
You install a child restraint system on the
outer rear seat.
R
You stow objects behind the front seats.
Before beginning the journey, observe the infor‐
mation on the rear airbag (
/
page 56). Be
aware of the status of the respective rear airbag
depending on the situation both before and dur‐
ing the journey (
/
page 58).
Information on the cushionbag in the reclin‐
ing rear seat
The cushionbag offers additional occupant pro‐
tection in the event of frontal impacts. When
enabled, the cushionbag deploys under the seat
cushion. This helps prevent the vehicle occupant
from slipping off the seat cushion.
If you install a child restraint system on the
reclining rear seat, always observe the additional
notes (
/
page 64).
Protective capacity of the airbags
Depending on the accident situation, an airbag
may supplement the protection offered by a cor‐
rectly fastened seat belt.

WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
an incorrect seat position
If you deviate from the correct seat position,
the airbag cannot perform its intended pro‐
tective function.
