Automatic deactivation of the front passenger airbags
The system determines whether the front passenger seat is occupied by measuring the resistance of the human body.
The front, knee, and side airbag on the front passenger side are activated or deactivated accordingly.
Leave feet in the footwell
Make sure that the front passenger keeps his or her feet in the footwell; otherwise, the front passenger airbags may not function properly.
Child restraint fixing system in the front passenger seat
Before transporting a child on the front passenger seat, see the safety notes and instructions under Children on the front passenger seat.
Malfunction of the automatic deactivation system
When transporting older children and adults, the front passenger airbags may be deactivated in certain sitting positions. In this case, the indicator lamp for the front passenger airbags lights up.
In this case, change the sitting position so that the front passenger airbags are activated and the indicator lamp goes out.
If it is not possible to activate the airbags, have the person sit in the rear.
To make sure that the occupied seat cushion can be evaluated correctly.
▷ Do not attach covers, cushions, ball mats or other items to the front passenger seat unless they are specifically recommended by the manufacturer of your vehicle.
▷ Do not place any electronic devices on the passenger seat if a child restraint system is to be installed on it.
▷ Do not place objects under the seat that could press against the seat from below.
Indicator lamp for the front passenger airbags
Indicator lamp for the front passenger airbags
The indicator lamp for the front passenger airbags indicates the operating state of the front passenger airbags.
The lamp indicates whether the airbags are activated or deactivated.
▷ The indicator lamp lights up when a child who is properly seated in a child restraint fixing system intended for that purpose is detected on the seat or the seat is empty. The airbags on the front passenger side are not activated.
▷ The indicator lamp does not light up when, for example, a correctly seated person of sufficient size is detected on the seat. The airbags on the front passenger side are activated.
Detected child seats
The system generally detects children seated in a child seat, especially in the child seats that were required by NHTSA when the vehicle was manufactured. After installing a child seat, make sure that the indicator lamp for the front passenger airbags lights up. This indicates that the child seat has been detected and the front passenger airbags are not activated.
