Disabling/enabling the front-
passenger front airbag
G
WARNING
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
lamp
is lit, the front-passenger front air-
bag is disabled. It will not be deployed in
the event of an accident and cannot perform
its intended protective function. A person
in the front-passenger seat could then, for
example, come into contact with the vehi-
cle's interior, especially if the person is
sitting too close to the dashboard. This
poses an increased risk of injury or even
fatal injury.
In this case the front-passenger seat may
not be used. You may only transport a child
on the front-passenger seat if they are
seated in a suitable rearward or forward-
facing child restraint system. Always
observe the information about suitable
positioning of the child restraint system
in this Owner's Manual as well as the child
restraint system manufacturer's installa-
tion instructions.

WARNING
If you secure a child on the co-driver's seat
in a rearward-facing child restraint sys-
tem
and
the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indica-
tor lamp lights up, the co-driver's airbag
could be deployed in the event of an acci-
dent. The child could be struck by the air-
bag. There is an increased risk of injury,
possibly even fatal.
In this case, always ensure that the co-
driver's airbag is disabled. The
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp must
light up.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
remains off and/or the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON
indicator lamp is lit, do not fit a rearward-
facing child restraint system to the front-
passenger seat. For more information, see
"Problems with automatic front-passenger
airbag deactivation" (Y page 163).
G
WARNING
If you secure a child in a forward-facing
child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat and you position the front-
passenger seat too close to the dashboard,
in
the
event of an accident, the child could:
R
come into contact with the vehicle's
interior if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp is lit, for example
R
be struck by the airbag if the PASSENGER
AIR BAG ON is lit up
This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
Move the front-passenger seat as far back
as possible. Always make sure that the
shoulder belt strap is correctly routed
from the vehicle belt outlet to the shoulder
belt guide on the child restraint system.
The shoulder belt strap must be routed for-
