deactivated in certain seat positions. In this
case, the indicator light for the front pas-
senger airbags illuminates.
In this case, change the seat position so
that the front passenger airbags are acti-
vated and the indicator light goes out.
If it is not possible to activate the airbags,
have the person sit in the rear seat.
To enable accurate recognition of the occu-
pied seat surface
– 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 any electronic devices on
the front passenger seat if a child re-
straint system is to be installed on it.
– Do not place objects under the seat that
could press against the seat from below.
– No moisture in or on the seat.
Indicator light for the front passenger
airbags
The indicator light for the front passenger
airbags indicates the operating state of the
front passenger airbags.
The light indicates whether the airbags are
either activated or deactivated.
– The indicator light illumi-
nates when a child is prop-
erly seated in a child re-
straint system or when the
seat is empty. The airbags
on the passenger's side are
not activated.
– The indicator light does not illuminate
when, for instance, a correctly seated
person of sufficient size is detected on
the seat. The airbags on the passenger's
side are activated.
Detected child restraint systems
The system generally detects children
seated in a child restraint system, partic-
ularly in child restraint systems required
by NHTSA at the point in time when the
vehicle was manufactured. After installing
a child restraint system, make sure that
the indicator light for the front passenger
airbags illuminates. This indicates that the
child restraint system has been detected
and the front passenger airbags are not acti-
vated.
Strength of the driver's and front
passenger airbag
The power that deploys the driver's/front
passenger airbags depends on the position
of the driver's/front passenger seat.
To maintain the accuracy of this function
over the long-term, calibrate the front seats
as soon as a relevant Check Control mes-
sage is displayed. A message also appears
on the control display.
