front passenger front airbag shutoff self-test.

Function of the PASSENGER AIR BAG indica‐
tor lamps
Self-test of automatic front passenger front
airbag shutoff
When the ignition is switched on, a self-test is
performed during which the two PASSENGER
AIR BAG ON and OFF indicator lamps light up
simultaneously.
Occupant safety
The status of the front passenger front airbag is
displayed after the self-test:
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up for
R
60 seconds, subsequently both indicator
lamps are off (PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and
OFF): the front passenger front airbag is able
to deploy in the event of an accident.
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up continu‐
R
ously: the front passenger front airbag is dis‐
abled. It will then not be deployed in the
event of an accident.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is
off, only the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp shows the status of the front passenger
front airbag. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indi‐
cator lamp may be lit continuously or be off.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
and the 6 restraint system warning lamp
light up simultaneously, the front passenger seat
may not be used. Also in this case, do not install
a child restraint system on the front passenger
seat. Have automatic front passenger front air‐
bag shutoff checked and repaired immediately at
a qualified specialist workshop.
