Child restraint fixing system in the front

passenger seat

Before

transporting a child on the front passen‐

ger seat, see the safety notes and instructions

under Children on the front passenger seat.◀

Malfunction of the automatic

deactivation system

When transporting older children and adults, the

front passenger airbags may be deactivated in

certain sitting positions. In this case, the indica‐

tor lamp for the front passenger airbags lights

up.

In this case, change the sitting position so that

the front passenger airbags are activated and

the indicator lamp goes out.

If it is not possible to activate the airbags, have

the person sit in the rear.

To make sure that the occupied seat cushion

can be evaluated correctly

▷ Do not attach covers, cushions, ball mats or

other items to the front passenger seat un‐

less they are specifically recommended by

the manufacturer of your vehicle.

▷ Do not place any objects on the front pas‐

senger seat.

▷ Do not place objects under the seat that

could press against the seat from below.

Indicator lamp for the front passenger

airbags

The indicator lamp for the front passenger air‐

bags indicates the operating state of the front

passenger airbags.

The lamp indicates whether the airbags are ac‐

tivated or deactivated.

▷ The indicator lamp lights up

when a child who is properly

seated in a child restraint fix‐

ing system intended for that

purpose is detected on the

seat

or the seat is empty. The

airbags on the front passen‐

ger side are not activated.

▷ The indicator lamp does not light up when,

for example, a correctly seated person of

sufficient size is detected on the seat. The

airbags on the front passenger side are ac‐

tivated.

The system generally detects children seated in

a child seat, especially in the child seats that

were required by NHTSA when the vehicle was

manufactured. After installing a child seat, make

sure that the indicator lamp for the front pas‐

senger airbags lights up. This indicates that the

child seat has been detected and the front pas‐

senger airbags are not activated.

Strength of the driver's and front

passenger airbag

The strength with which the driver's and front

passenger airbags are triggered depends on the

position of the driver's and front passenger

seats.

To maintain the accuracy of this function over

the long-term, calibrate the front seats when a

corresponding message appears on the Control

Display.

Calibrating the front seats

A corresponding message appears on the Con‐

trol Display.

1. Move the respective seat forward all the

way.

2. Move the respective seat forward again. It

moves forward briefly.

3. Readjust the seat to the desired position.

The calibration procedure is completed when

the message on the Control Display disappears.

If the message continues to be displayed, repeat

the calibration.
