adult or someone larger than a small individual has been detected on the passenger seat, do not
allow any occupant to use the passenger seat until the system has been repaired.

properly installed on
the front-passenger
seat.
Roll bar (Cabriolet)
The roll bars are under the rear head
restraints. They are extended if systems
detect that the vehicle is in danger of
overturning.

Risk of injury
Ensure that the area around the roll bars/rear
head restraints is kept clear. Otherwise,
someone could be injured by the roll bars
when they are triggered.
When the roll bars are extended, the rear
head restraints also extend automatically.

appears in the multifunction display. The roll
bars will then not be extended in the event of
an accident. This could result in severe or
even fatal injuries to you and other occupants.
In this case, visit a qualified specialist
