Display message Possible cause
Front passenger front air bag is
Front passenger
airbag deactivated while driving even
deactivated though an adult or someone
see Oper.'s Man. larger than a small individual is
occupying the front passenger
seat. Forces acting on the seat
may make the system sense a
decrease in weight.
Possible solution
Stop the vehicle in a safe location as soon as possible and check the
front passenger seat for the following:
Switch off the ignition ( page 34).
Have the front passenger vacate the seat and exit the vehicle.
Adjust the seat in a height position ( page 39).
Make sure that no objects which apply forces to the seat are present
(e.g. objects such as books, briefcases etc. lodged underneath,
behind or around the seat). Such forces may cause the system to
sense that an occupant of a lesser weight than actually present is on
the front passenger seat.
Keep the seat unoccupied, close the front passenger door and
switch on the ignition ( page 34).
