Possible causes/consequences and
& WARNING Risk of injury or death when using a rearward-
facing child restraint system while the front passenger air‐
bag is enabled
If you secure a child in a rearward-facing child restraint system
on the front passenger seat and the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp is off, the front passenger airbag can deploy in
the event of an accident.
The child could be struck by the airbag.
Always ensure that the front passenger airbag is disabled. The
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp must be lit.
NEVER use a rearward-facing child restraint system on a seat
with an ENABLED FRONT AIRBAG. This can result in the DEATH
of or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD.
Stop the vehicle immediately in accordance with the traffic con‐
#
ditions.
Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
#
Ensure that no objects have become trapped beneath the front
#
passenger seat.
Switch off the ignition.
#
Open the front passenger door.
#
Remove the child and the child restraint system from the front
#
passenger seat.
Make sure there are no objects applying additional weight to the
#
seat.
The system may otherwise detect the additional weight and
interpret the vehicle occupant's weight on the front passenger
seat as greater than it actually is.
Make sure that the front passenger seat is unoccupied, close
#
the front passenger door and switch on the ignition.
Observe the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp on the
#
center console and the display.
With the seat unoccupied and the ignition switched on, check
#
the following:
The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp must light up
R
continuously. If the indicator lamp is lit, the occupant classi‐
fication system (OCS) has disabled the co-driver's airbag.
The display must not show the messages
R
Airbag Enabled See Operator's Manual
Airbag Disabled See Operator's
Wait for at least one minute until the necessary system checks
#
have been completed.
Ensure that the display does not show either of the two display
#
messages about the co-driver's airbag.
If these conditions are met, the front passenger seat can be occu‐
pied again. Observe the notes on the occupant classification system
(OCS) (
page 30).
