Installing child restraint systems
To enable accurate recognition of the occupied
seat surface of the front passenger seat:
▷
Pay attention to the specifications and the
operating and safety information of the
child restraint system manufacturer when
using child restraint systems.
▷
Make sure that the seat surface of the child
restraint system rests as flat as possible on
the seat surface.
▷
Move the head restraint up or remove it to
ensure that the child restraint system rests
as flat as possible against the rear seat
backrest.
▷
Observe the maximum size of the child re-
straint system, for example to avoid possi-
ble touching the roof.
Before transporting a child on the front pas-
senger seat, refer to the safety information and
instructions for children on the front passenger
seat, see Children.

Display
Function
The indicator light is contin-
uously illuminated when the
seat is not occupied or when a
child is detected on the seat in
a provided child restraint sys-
tem as intended. The airbags
on the passenger's side are
not activated.
The indicator light does not il-
luminate when, for instance, a
correctly seated person of suf-
ficient size is detected on the
seat. The airbags on the pas-
senger's side are activated.
When the front passenger seat is occupied,
check the indicator light before and while driv-
ing.
Fault of the automatic deactivation
system
When transporting older children and adults,
the front passenger airbags may be deacti-
vated in certain seat positions. In this case, the
indicator light for the front passenger airbags
illuminates.
In this case, change the seat position so that
the front passenger airbags are activated and
the indicator light goes out.
If it is not possible to activate the airbags, have
the person sit in the rear seat.
