Use the ignition key to choose the
position:
OFF
front passenger airbag is
deactivated and will not inflate
in the event of a collision.

continuously in the centre
console
ON
front passenger airbag is
active
Danger
Deactivate the passenger airbag only
in combination with the use of a
child restraint system, subject to the
instructions and restrictions in the Child
Restraints table.
Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal injury
for a person occupying a seat with a
deactivated front passenger airbag.
If the control indicator ON illuminates for
approx. 60 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the front passenger airbag
system will inflate in the event of a
collision.
If the control indicator OFF illuminates
after the ignition is switched on,
the front passenger airbag system is
deactivated. It stays on while the airbag
is deactivated.
If both control indicators are illuminated
at the same time, there is a system
failure. The status of the system is
not discernible, therefore no person is
allowed to occupy the front passenger
seat. Contact a workshop immediately.
Consult a workshop immediately if
neither of the two control indicators are
illuminated.
Change status only when the vehicle is
stopped with the ignition off.
