Function of the PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator
lamps (front passenger airbag)
Vehicles without automatic front passenger airbag
shutoff have a special sticker affixed to the side of
the cockpit on the front passenger side
( page 63).
/
The PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamps display
the status of the front passenger airbag.
If the front passenger seat is occupied or a child
restraint system is fitted on the front passenger
seat, you must make sure both before, and also
during the journey, that the status of the front
passenger airbag is correct for the situation.
& WARNING Risk of potentially fatal injuries
due to objects trapped under the front
passenger seat
Objects trapped under the front passenger
seat may interfere with the function of the
automatic front passenger airbag shutoff or
damage the system.
Do not stow any objects under the front
#
passenger seat.
When the front passenger seat is occu-
#
pied, ensure that no objects have
become trapped beneath the front
passenger seat.
Self-test: when the vehicle is switched on, both
the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and OFF indicator
lamps light up simultaneously for several seconds.

ously.
