Airbag deactivation

The front passenger airbag system
has to be deactivated if a child
restraint system is to be fitted on this
seat. The side airbag and curtain
airbag systems, the belt
pretensioners and all driver airbag
systems will remain active.
The front passenger airbag system
can be deactivated via a key-
operated switch on the right side of
the instrument panel.
Use the ignition key to choose the
position:
* = front passenger airbag is
deactivated and will not inflate
in the event of a collision.
Control indicator * illuminates
continuously in the centre
console. A child restraint
system can be installed in
accordance with the
chart Child restraint
installation locations 3 49.
No adult person is allowed to
occupy the front passenger
seat.
V = front passenger airbag is
active. A child restraint system
must not be installed.
9 Danger
Risk of fatal injury for a child using
a child restraint system on a seat
with activated front passenger
airbag.
Risk of fatal injury for an adult
person on a seat with deactivated
front passenger airbag.
As long as the control indicator * is
not illuminated, the front passenger
airbag system will inflate in the event
of a collision.
If both control indicators are
illuminated at the same time, there is
a system failure. The status of the
system is not discernible, therefore
no person is allowed to occupy the
front passenger seat. Contact
a workshop immediately.
Consult a workshop immediately, if
neither of the two control indicators is
illuminated.
Change status only when the vehicle
is stopped with the ignition off.
