▷ The indicator lamp does not light up when,
for example, a correctly seated person of
sufficient size is detected on the seat. The
airbags on the front passenger side are ac‐
tivated.
Detected child seats
The system generally detects children seated in
a child seat, particularly in child seats required
by NHTSA when the vehicle was manufactured.
After installing a child seat, make sure that the
indicator lamp for the front-seat passenger air‐
bags lights up. This indicates that the child seat
has been detected and the front-seat passen‐
ger airbags are not activated.
Strength of the driver's and front-seat

passenger airbag

The explosive power that activates driver's/
front passenger's airbags very much depends
on the positions of the driver's/front passeng‐
er's seat.
To maintain the accuracy of this function over
the long-term, calibrate the front seats as soon
as a relevant Check Control message is dis‐
played. A message also appears on the Control
Display.

Rollover protection sys‐
tem
The concept
The rollover protection system is automatically
activated in the event of a sufficiently serious
accident or if the longitudinal axis is tilted ex‐
cessively. The safety frames located behind the
rear headrests extend within fractions of a sec‐
ond.
Supplementing the reinforced front windshield
frame, the rollover protection system further in‐
creases passenger safety.
