Instead, they should use a rear seat.
If the front passenger seat is occupied by a
R
person of smaller stature (e.g. a teenager or
small adult), the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp either lights up continuously
or remains off, depending on the result of the
classification.
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF is off: move the
-
front passenger seat as far back as possi‐
ble or a person of smaller stature should
use a rear seat.
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
-
lamp is lit continuously: a person of
smaller stature should not use the front
passenger seat.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death when
the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp is lit
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp remains lit after the system self-test,
the front passenger air bag is deactivated. It
will not be deployed in the event of an acci‐
dent. In this case, the front passenger air bag
cannot perform its intended protective func‐
tion, e.g. when a person is seated in the front
passenger seat.
That person could, for example, come into
contact with the vehicle interior, especially if
the person is sitting too close to the cockpit.
If the front passenger seat is occupied,
always ensure that:
The classification of the person in the
R
front passenger seat is correct and the
front passenger air bag is enabled or
deactivated in accordance with the per‐
son in the front passenger seat.
The person is seated properly with a cor‐
R
rectly fastened seat belt.
The front passenger seat has been moved
R
as far back as possible.
