WARNING
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
lamp is lit, the front-passenger front air-
bag is disabled. It will not be deployed in
the event of an accident and cannot per-

person in the front-passenger seat could
then, for example, come into contact with
the vehicle's interior, especially if the per-
son is sitting too close to the dashboard.
This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
In this case the front-passenger seat may
not be used. You may only transport a child
on the front-passenger seat if they are
seated in a suitable rearward or forward-
