Safety information
Warning
To ensure the front passenger airbag func-
tion, the system must be able to detect
whether a person is sitting in the front
passenger seat. The entire seat surface
must be used for this purpose. There is a
risk of injury or danger to life. Make sure
that the front passenger keeps his or her
feet in the footwell.
Functional requirements
To ensure that occupants on the front pass-
enger seat are detected properly, the follow-
ing functional requirements apply:
– Do not attach covers, cushions, ball mats
or other items to the front passenger
seat unless they are specifically deter-
mined to be safe for use on the front
passenger seat.
– Do not place objects under the seat that
can press against the seat from below.
– Sit upright in the seat with the back
against the backrest.
– Sit down with your feet touching the
floor.
Installing child restraint systems
To ensure that occupants on the front pass-
enger seat are detected properly, note the
following:
– Pay attention to the specifications and
the operating and safety information of
the child restraint system manufacturer
when using child restraint systems.
– Make sure that the seat surface of the
child restraint system rests as flat as
possible on the seat surface.
– Move the head restraint up or remove it
to ensure that the child restraint system
rests as flat as possible against the rear
seat backrest.
– Observe the maximum size of the child
