able to detect whether the front passenger seat is
occupied by a person or a child restraint system.
The front passenger air bag and front passenger
knee bag are enabled or disabled accordingly.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
objects under the co-driver seat
Objects trapped under the co-driver seat can
interfere with the function of the automatic
co-driver airbag shutoff or damage the system.
Do not store any objects under the co-
#

When the co-driver seat is occupied,
#
make sure that no objects are trapped
under the co-driver seat.
When fitting a child restraint system to the front
passenger seat, observe the vehicle-specific infor-
mation ( page 68). Also, always observe the
/
notes on rearward-facing or forward-facing child
restraint systems on the front passenger seat
( page 67).

The front passenger air bag may otherwise be dis-
abled by mistake, for example, in the following sit-
uations:

R
their weight is raised from the seat surface.

the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
is lit.
A person in the front passenger seat could
then, for example, come into contact with the
vehicle interior, especially if the person is sit-
ting too close to the cockpit.
If the front passenger seat is occupied, always
ensure that:
The classification of the person in the front
R
passenger seat is correct and the front
passenger airbag is enabled or disabled in
accordance with the person in the front
passenger seat.
The front passenger seat has been moved
R
as far back as possible.
The person is seated correctly.
