Self-test of automatic front passenger airbag shut-
off
When the vehicle is switched on, a self-test is per-
formed during which the two PASSENGER AIR
BAG ON and OFF indicator lamps light up simulta-
neously.
The status of the front passenger airbag is dis-
played via the PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator
lamps after the self-test:
ON is lit: the front passenger airbag may
R
deploy during an accident.
The indicator lamp goes out after 60 seconds.
ON and OFF are not lit: the front passenger
R
airbag may deploy during an accident.
OFF is lit: the front passenger airbag is disa-
R
bled. It will then not be deployed in the event
of an accident.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is
off, only the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp shows the status of the front passenger air-
bag. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
may be lit continuously or be off.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
and the 6 restraint system warning lamp light
up simultaneously, the front passenger seat may
not be used. Also in this case, do not fit a child
restraint system to the front passenger seat. Have
the automatic front passenger airbag shutoff
checked and repaired immediately at a qualified
specialist workshop.
Status display
If the front passenger seat is occupied, ensure,
both before and during the journey, that the sta-
tus of the front passenger airbag is correct for the
current situation.
After fitting a rearward-facing child restraint sys-
tem to the front passenger seat: PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF must be lit continuously.
