CONTROLS
To enable accurate recognition of the occupied
seat surface:
▷
Do not attach covers, cushions, ball mats
or other items to the front passenger seat
unless they are specifically determined to
be safe for use on the front passenger seat.
▷
Do not place any electronic devices on the
front passenger seat if a child restraint sys-
tem is to be installed on it.
▷
Do not place objects under the seat that
can press against the seat from below.
▷
No moisture in or on the seat.
Indicator light for the front
passenger airbags
The indicator light for the front-seat passenger
airbag in the headliner indicates the operating
state of the front-seat passenger airbag.
The light indicates whether the airbags are ei-
ther activated or deactivated.
After drive-ready state is switched on, the light
shortly illuminates and then indicates whether
the airbags are either activated or deactivated.
▷
The indicator light illuminates
when a child is properly
seated in a child restraint
system or when the seat is
empty. The airbags on the
passenger's side are not ac-
tivated.
▷
The indicator light does not illuminate
when, for instance, a correctly seated per-
son of sufficient size is detected on the
seat. The airbags on the passenger's side
are activated.
Detected child restraint systems
The system generally detects children seated
in a child restraint system, particularly in child
restraint systems required by NHTSA at the
point in time when the vehicle was manufac-
tured. After installing a child restraint system,

make sure that the indicator light for the front
passenger airbags illuminates. This indicates
that the child restraint system has been de-
tected and the front passenger airbags are not
activated.
Rollover protection system
Principle
The rollover protection system is automatically
activated in the event of a sufficiently serious
accident or if the longitudinal axis is tilted ex-
cessively. The safety bars located behind the
rear head restraints extend within fractions of
a second.
Supplementing the reinforced windshield
frame, the rollover protection system further
increases passenger safety.
General information
Do not place any objects on the covers of the
rollover protection system.
Safety information
Warning
There can be damage or injuries when the
rollover protection system is triggered. There
is a risk of injury or risk of damage to prop-
erty. Make sure that the area of movement of
the rollover protection system is clear.
Warning
Improperly executed work can lead to failure,
malfunction or unintentional triggering of the
system. In the case of a malfunction, the
system might not trigger as intended even
if there is an accident severe enough to war-
rant it. There is a risk of injury or danger to
life. Have the vehicle checked, repaired, dis-
assembled, and scrapped by an authorized
