Setting the front seat positions
The power that deploys the driver's/front pas-
senger airbags depends on the position of the
driver's/front passenger seat.
To maintain the accuracy of this function, cali-
brate the electrical front seats as soon as a re-
spective message appears on the control dis-
play.
Additional information:
Seats, refer to page 108.
Automatic deactivation of
the front passenger airbags
Principle
The system reads if the front passenger seat
is occupied by measuring the human body's
resistance.
The front passenger airbags are activated or
deactivated.
General information
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.
Safety information
Warning
To ensure the front passenger airbag func-
tion, the system must be able to detect
whether a person is sitting in the front pas-
senger seat. The entire seat surface must
be used for this purpose. There is a risk of
injury or danger to life. Make sure that the
front passenger keeps his or her feet in the
footwell.
