ment area of an airbag, e.g. to doors, side

Limited protection from airbags
G
WARNING
If you modify an airbag cover or affix
objects such as stickers to it, the airbag
can no longer function correctly. There is
an increased risk of injury.
Never modify an airbag cover or affix
objects to it.
G
WARNING
Unsuitable seat covers may obstruct or even
prevent
deployment
of the airbags integra-
ted into the seats. The airbags may then fail
to protect the vehicle occupants as inten-
ded. There is an increased risk of injury,
possibly even fatal.
Use only seat covers which have been spe-
cifically approved for the respective seat
by smart.
G
WARNING
Sensors to control the airbags are located
in the doors. Modifications or work not
performed correctly to the doors or door
panelling, as well as damaged doors, can
lead to the function of the sensors being
impaired.
The
airbags might therefore not
function properly any more. Consequently,
the airbags cannot protect vehicle occu-
pants as they are designed to do. This poses
an increased risk of injury.
Never modify the doors or parts of the
doors. Always have work on the doors or door
panelling carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
G
WARNING
An airbag that has been deployed once can-
not provide any further protection and, in
the
event
of an accident, can no longer per-
form its intended protective function.
There is an increased risk of injury.
Have the vehicle towed to a qualified spe-
cialist workshop
to have the deployed air-
bag replaced.
Have deployed airbags replaced immedi-
ately.

PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamps
The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp
and PASSENGER
AIRBAG ON indicator lamp are
part of the front-passenger front airbag
deactivation system.
The indicator lamps display the status of the
front-passenger front airbag.
R
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF lights up: the front-
passenger front airbag is disabled. It will
then not be deployed in the event of an
accident.
R
PASSENGER AIRBAG ON lights up: the front-
passenger front airbag is enabled. The
front-passenger front airbag may deploy
during an accident.
If the front-passenger seat is occupied, make
sure that the status of the front-passenger
front airbag is correct for the prevailing
conditions both before and during the jour-
ney.
R
Children in a child restraint system:
whether the front-passenger front airbag
must be enabled or disabled depends on the
installed child restraint system, and the
age and size of the child. Make sure that you
observe the notes on "Children in the vehi-
cle" (Y page 34). There you will also find
