WARNING
Electronic devices on the front-passenger
seat can affect the function of the automatic
child seat recognition, for example:
R laptop
R mobile phone
R transponder cards such as ski passes or
access passes
The front-passenger front airbag could deploy unintentionally or not function as intended
during an accident. This poses an increased
risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Do not place any of the devices mentioned
above or similar devices on the front-
passenger seat. If the front-passenger seat of your vehicle is
not equipped with automatic child seat rec-
ognition, this is indicated by a special sticker. The sticker is affixed to the side of the dash-
board on the front-passenger side. The
sticker is visible when you open the front-
passenger door.
Vehicles without automatic child seat recog-
nition on the front-passenger seat: if you turn
the key to position 2in the ignition lock, the
