Self-test of automatic front passenger 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.
The status of the front passenger airbag is dis‐
played via the PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator
lamps after the self-test:
ON is lit: the front passenger airbag may
R
deploy during an accident.
The indicator lamp goes out after approx‐
imately 60 seconds.
ON and OFF are not lit: the front passenger
R
airbag may deploy during an accident.
OFF is lit: the front passenger airbag is disa‐
R
bled. 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
airbag. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp may be lit continuously or be off.
