R
Only secure a child in a rearward-facing
child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat when the front-passenger
front air bag is deactivated. If the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is permanently lit, the front-passenger front
air bag is deactivated (Y page 42).
R Always observe the instructions and safety
notes on "Children in the vehicle"
(Y page 52) and on the "Child restraint
system on the front-passenger seat"
(Y page 58) in addition to the child
restraint system manufacturer's installa-
tion instructions.
Objects in the vehicle interior may pre-
vent an air bag from functioning correctly.
Before starting your journey and to avoid risks resulting from the speed of the air bag as it
deploys, make sure that:
R there are no people, animals or objects
between the vehicle occupants and an air
bag.
R there are no objects between the seat, door
and B-pillar.
R no hard objects, e.g. coat hangers, hang on
the grab handles or coat hooks.
R no accessories, such as cup holders, are
attached to the vehicle within the deploy-
ment area of an air bag, e.g. to doors, side windows, rear side trim or side walls.
R no heavy, sharp-edged or fragile objects
are in the pockets of your clothing. Store
such objects in a suitable place. G
WARNING
If you modify the air bag cover or affix objects
such as stickers to it, the air bag can no longer function correctly. There is an increased risk
of injury.
Never modify an air bag cover or affix objectsto it. G
WARNING
Sensors to control the air bags are located in the doors. Modifications or work not per-
formed correctly to the doors or door panel- ing, as well as damaged doors, can lead to the
function of the sensors being impaired. The air
bags might therefore not function properly
any more. Consequently, the air bags cannot
protect vehicle occupants as they are
designed to do. There is an increased risk of
injury.
Never modify the doors or parts of the doors. Always have work on the doors or door pan-
eling carried out at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
Front air bags Driver's air bag
:deploys in front of the
steering wheel. Front-passenger air bag ;
deploys in front of and above the glove box.
When deployed, the front air bags offer addi- tional head and thorax protection on the front
seats.
The permanently lit PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp shows you that the front-
passenger front air bag is deactivated
(Y page 42).
Front-passenger bag ;is only deployed if:
R an occupant is detected on the front-
passenger seat
R the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp is not lit (Y page 56)
R the restraint system control unit predicts a
high accident severity 48

trude from stowage spaces, parcel nets or
stowage nets. R

backrest are not engaged they could fold for- wards, e.g. when braking suddenly or in the
event of an accident.

pushed into the seat belt by the rear bench
seat/rear seat or by the seat backrest. The
seat belt can no longer offer the intended
level of protection and could even cause
injuries.

partment cannot be restrained by the seat
backrest.
There is an increased risk of injury.
Before every trip, make sure that the seat
backrests and the rear bench seat/rear seat
