Points to remember when the front passenger seat is occupied

The automatic front passenger airbag shutoff is able to detect whether the front passenger seat is occupied by a person or a child restraint system. The front passenger airbag is enabled or disabled accordingly.

When installing a child restraint system on the front passenger seat:

  • Ensure that the child restraint system is positioned correctly More.

  • Always observe the child restraint system manufacturer's installation instructions.

  • Never place objects under or behind the child restraint system, e.g. cushions.

  • Fully retract the seat cushion length adjustment.

  • The entire base of the child restraint system must always rest on the sitting surface of the front passenger seat.

  • The backrest of the forward-facing child restraint system must, as far as possible, be resting on the seat backrest of the front passenger seat.

  • The child restraint system must not touch the roof or be put under strain by the head restraints. Adjust the seat backrest inclination and the head restraint setting accordingly.

WARNING Risk of injury or death due to objects between the sitting surface and the child restraint system

Objects between the sitting surface and the child restraint system could affect the function of the automatic front passenger airbag shutoff.

This could result in the front passenger airbag not functioning as intended during an accident.

Do not place any objects between the sitting surface and the child restraint system.
The entire base of the child restraint system must always rest on the sitting surface of the front passenger seat.
The backrest of the forward-facing child restraint system must, as far as possible, be resting on the seat backrest of the front passenger seat.
Always comply with the child restraint system manufacturer's installation instructions.
A person in the front passenger seat must:

  • Have their seat belt fastened correctly.

  • Sit in an almost upright position with their back against the seat backrest.

  • Sit with their feet resting on the floor, if possible.

Otherwise, the front passenger airbag may be deactivated by mistake, for example because the front passenger:

  • Transfers their weight by supporting themselves on a vehicle armrest.

  • Sits in such a way that their weight is raised from the sitting surface.

WARNING Risk of injury or death due to deactivated front passenger airbag

If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit, the front passenger airbag is disabled. It will not be deployed in the event of an accident and cannot perform its intended protective function.

A person in the front passenger seat could then, for example, come into contact with the vehicle interior, especially if the person is sitting too close to the cockpit.

If the front passenger seat is occupied, always ensure that:

  • The classification of the person in the front passenger seat is correct and the front passenger airbag is enabled or disabled in accordance with the person in the front passenger seat.

  • The front passenger seat has been moved as far back as possible.

  • The person is seated correctly.

Ensure, both before and during the journey, that the status of the front passenger airbag is correct.
