Occupant safety
Consequently, the airbags cannot protect
vehicle occupants as they are designed to
do.
Never modify the doors or parts of the
#
doors.
Always have work on the doors or door
#
paneling carried out at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop.
& WARNING Risk of injury due to deployed
airbag
A deployed airbag no longer has a protective
function and cannot protect as intended in
the event of an accident.
Have the vehicle towed to a qualified
#
specialist workshop in order to have the
deployed airbag replaced.
Have deployed airbags replaced immediately.
Status of the front passenger front airbag
Function of the automatic front passenger
front airbag shutoff
The automatic front passenger front airbag shut‐
off is able to detect whether the front passenger
seat is occupied by a person or a child restraint
system. The front passenger front airbag and
front passenger knee bag are then accordingly
either enabled or deactivated.
When installing a child restraint system on the
front passenger seat, always make sure of the
following:
Ensure that the child restraint system is posi‐
R
tioned correctly ( page 48).
→
Always observe the child restraint system
R
manufacturer's installation instructions.
Never place objects, e.g. cushions, under or
R
behind the child restraint system.
Fully retract the seat cushion length adjust‐
R
ment.
The entire base of the child restraint system
R
must always rest on the seat cushion of the
front passenger seat.
The backrest of the forward-facing child
R
restraint system must lie as flat as possible
against the backrest of the front passenger
seat.
The child restraint system must not touch the
R
roof or be put under strain by the head
restraints. Adjust the seat backrest inclina‐
tion and the head restraint setting accord‐
ingly.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
objects between the sitting surface and
the child restraint system
Objects between the sitting surface and the
child restraint system could affect the func‐
tion of the automatic front passenger airbag
shutoff.
This could result in the front passenger air‐
bag not functioning as intended during an
accident.
Do not place any objects between the
#
sitting surface and the child restraint
system.
