is running. Therefore, malfunctions can be
detected in good time.
The 6 restraint
system warning lamp in
the instrument cluster lights up when the
ignition is switched on. It goes out no later
than a few seconds after the engine is star-
ted. The components of the restraint system
are in operational readiness.
A malfunction has occurred if the 6
restraint system warning lamp:
R
does not light up after the ignition is
switched on
R
does not go out after a few seconds with
the engine running
R
lights up again while the engine is run-

WARNING
If the restraint system is malfunctioning,
restraint system components may be trig-
gered
unintentionally
or might not be trig-
gered at all in the event of an accident with
a high rate of vehicle deceleration. This
can effect belt tensioners or airbags, for
example. There is an increased risk of
serious or even fatal injuries.
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired immediately at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamps
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp :
and PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator
lamp ; are part of the deactivation system
of the front-passenger front airbag.
The indicator lamps display the status of
the front-passenger front airbag.
R
PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF : lights up: the
front-passenger front airbag is disa-
bled. It will then not be deployed in the
event of an accident.
R
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON ; lights up: the
front-passenger front airbag is ena-
bled. If, in the case of an accident, all
deployment criteria are met, the front-
passenger front airbag is deployed.
Depending on the person in the front-
passenger seat, the front-passenger front
airbag must either be disabled or enabled.
You must make sure of this both before and
during a journey.
R
Children in a child restraint system:
whether the front-passenger front air-
bag must be enabled or disabled depends
on the installed child restraint system,
and the age and size of the child. There-
fore, always observe the information on
"Children in the vehicle" (Y page 46).
There you will also find instructions on
backwards and forwards-facing child
restraint systems on the front-passenger
seat.
R
All other persons: the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF indicator lamp must be off and the
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
must be on. The front-passenger front
airbag is enabled. If the PASSENGER AIR-
BAG OFF indicator lamp is lit, the front-
passenger front airbag is disabled. It
will then not be deployed in the event of
an accident. In this case, the front-
passenger seat should not be used.
Be sure to observe the notes on "Activat-
ing/deactivating the front-passenger
airbag" as well as "Seat belts"
(Y page 50) (Y page 40) and "Airbags"
(Y page 43). There you can also find
information on the correct seat posi-
tion.
