System self-test
G
DANGER
If both the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamps do
not light up during the system self-test, the
system is malfunctioning. The front-
passenger front air bag might be triggered
unintentionally or might not be triggered
at all in the event of an accident with high
deceleration. This poses an increased risk
of injury or even fatal injury.
In this case the front-passenger seat may
not be used. Do not install a child restraint
system on the front-passenger seat. Have
the Occupant Classification System (OCS)
checked and repaired immediately at a
qualified specialist workshop.
G
DANGER
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp remains lit after the system self-test,
the front-passenger front air bag is disa-
bled. It will not be deployed in the event of
an accident. In this case, the front-
passenger front air bag cannot perform its
intended protective function, e.g. when a
person is seated in the front-passenger
seat.
That person could, for example, come into
contact with the vehicle's interior, espe-
cially if the person is sitting too close to
the dashboard. This poses an increased
risk of injury or even fatal injury.
When the front-passenger seat is occupied,
always ensure that:
the classification of the person in the
R
front-passenger seat is correct and the
front-passenger front air bag is enabled
or disabled in accordance with the per-
son in the front-passenger seat
the person is seated properly with a cor-
R
rectly fastened seatbelt
the front-passenger seat has been moved
R
back as far back as possible
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp remains lit when it should not, the
front-passenger seat may not be used. Do
not install a child restraint system on the
front-passenger seat. Have the Occupant
Classification System (OCS) checked and
repaired immediately at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.

WARNING
Objects between the seat surface and the
child restraint system could affect OCS
operation. This could result in the front-
passenger air bag not functioning as
intended during an accident. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal
injury.
Do not place any objects between the seat
surface and the child restraint system. The
entire base of the child restraint system
must always rest on the seat cushion of the
front-passenger seat. The backrest of the
forward-facing child restraint system
must, as far as possible, be resting on the
backrest of the front-passenger seat.
Always comply with the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer's installation instruc-
tions.
After the system self-test, the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF or PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator
lamp displays the status of the front-
passenger front air bag (
