facing child restraint system must lie as flat
as possible against the backrest of the front-
passenger seat.
The child restraint system must not touch the
roof. Adjust the backrest angle accordingly.
Only then can OCS be guaranteed to function
correctly. Always observe the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation instruc-
tions.

0043PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp

The indicator lamps indicate whether the
front-passenger front air bag is activated or
deactivated.
XTurn the key to position 1or 2in the igni-
tion lock.
The system carries out a self-diagnosis
test.
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and PASSENGER
AIR BAG ON indicator lamps must light up
simultaneously for about six seconds.
The indicator lamps then display the status of
the front-passenger front air bag:
RPASSENGER AIRBAG ON lights up: the front-
passenger front airbag is enabled. If, in
the case of an accident, all deployment cri-
teria are met, the front-passenger front
air bag is deployed.
RPASSENGER AIRBAG OFF lights up: the front-
passenger front airbag is disabled. It will then not be deployed in the event of an
accident.
Always observe the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamps when
the front-passenger seat is occupied. Make
sure that the status of the front-passenger front air bag is correct before and during a
journey.
GWARNING
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp is lit, the front-passenger front air
bag 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 vehi-
cle's interior, especially if the person is
sitting too close to the dashboard. This
poses an increased risk of injury or even
fatal injury.
When the front-passenger seat is occupied, always ensure that:
Rthe classification of the person in the
front-passenger seat is correct and the
front-passenger front air bag is enabledor disabled in accordance with the per-
son in the front-passenger seat
Rthe front-passenger seat has been movedback as far back as possible.
Rthe person is seated correctly.
Make sure, both before and during the jour-
ney, that the status of the front-passenger
front air bag is correct.
GWARNING
If you secure a child in a rearward-facing
child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat and the PASSENGER AIR BAG
ON indicator lamp is lit up, the front-
passenger front air bag may deploy in an
accident. The child could be struck by the
air bag. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
Make sure that the front-passenger front
air bag has been disabled. The PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp must be lit.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
remains off and/or the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON
indicator lamp is lit, do not fit a rearward-
facing child restraint system to the front-
passenger seat. For more information, see
Occupant safety37

"Problems with the Occupant Classification
System (OCS)" (Ypage 40).
GWARNING
If you secure a child in a forward-facing
child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat and you position the front-
passenger seat too close to the dashboard,
in the event of an accident, the child could:
Rcome into contact with the vehicle's
interior if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp is lit, for example
Rbe struck by the air bag if the PASSENGER
AIR BAG ON is lit up
This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
Move the front-passenger seat as far back
as possible. Always make sure that the
shoulder belt strap is correctly routed
from the vehicle belt guide to the shoulder
belt guide on the child restraint system.
The shoulder belt strap must be routed for-
wards and downwards from the belt guide.
Always observe the child restraint system
manufacturer's installation instructions.
If OCS detects that:
Rthe front-passenger seat is not occupied,
the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
lights up continuously after the system's
self-diagnosis test. This indicates that
the front-passenger front air bag is deac-
tivated.
Rthe front-passenger seat is occupied by a
child aged up to twelve months in a stand-
ard child restraint system, the PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp lights up con-
tinuously after the system's self-diagnosis
test. This indicates that the front-
passenger front air bag is deactivated.
In the case of a twelve-month-old child in a
standard child restraint system, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp may
light up continuously after the system's
self-diagnosis test. This indicates that
the front-passenger front air bag is acti-
vated. Categorization is dependent on the
type of child restraint system and the stat-
ure of the child, for example. Make sure
that the prerequisites for correct catego- rizat
ion have been met. If the PASSENGER
AIR BAG ON indicator lamp remains lit, do
not install a child restraint system on the
front-passenger seat.
Rthe front-passenger seat is occupied by a
person of smaller stature (e.g. a teenager
or a small adult), either the PASSENGER AIR
BAG ON or PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp lights up continuously after the sys-
tem's self-diagnosis test depending on the categorization.
-If the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator
lamp is lit, position the front-
passenger seat as far back as possible.
-If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp lights up, a person of smaller stat-
ure should not sit on the front-passenger
seat.
Rthe front-passenger seat is occupied by an
adult or a person of an appropriate size,
the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
lights up continuously after the system's
self-diagnosis test. This indicates that
the front-passenger front air bag is acti-
vated.
If children are traveling in the vehicle, be
sure to observe the notes on "Children in the
vehicle" (
Ypage 42).
If the OCS is malfunctioning, both the red
0075 restraint system warning lamp in the
instrument cluster and the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamp light up simultane-
ously. In this case, the front-passenger air
bag is deactivated and does not deploy during
an accident. Have the system checked by
qualified technicians as soon as possible.
Consult a smart center. Only have the front-
passenger seat repaired at a smart center.
If the front-passenger seat, the seat cover or
the seat cushion are damaged, have the nec-
essary repair work carried out at a smart cen-
ter.
For safety reasons, smart recommends that you only use seat accessories which have been
approved by smart.
If the driver's air bag deploys , this does not
mean that the front-passenger front air bag
will also deploy. The Occupant Classifica-
tion System (OCS) categorizes the occupant on
the front-passenger seat. Depending on the
result, the front-passenger air bag is acti-
vated or deactivated.
