58Seats, restraintsIf the control indicator * illuminates
after the ignition is switched on, the
front passenger airbag system is
deactivated. It stays on while the
airbag is deactivated.
If both control indicators are
illuminated at the same time, there is
a system failure. The status of the
system is not discernible, therefore
no person is allowed to occupy the
front passenger seat. Contact a
workshop immediately.
Consult a workshop immediately if
neither of the two control indicators
are illuminated.
Change status only when the vehicle is stopped with the ignition off.
Status remains until the next change. Control indicator for airbag

Child restraint systems9 Danger
If using a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag system for the
front passenger seat must be
deactivated. This also applies to certain forward-facing child
restraint systems as indicated in
the tables 3 61.
Airbag deactivation 3 57 , Airbag label
3 52.
We recommend a child restraint
system which is tailored specifically to
the vehicle. For further information,
contact your workshop.
When a child restraint system is being used, pay attention to the following
usage and installation instructions
and also those supplied with the child
restraint system.
Always comply with local or national
regulations. In some countries, the
use of child restraint systems is
forbidden on certain seats.
Child restraint systems can be
fastened with:
● Three-point seat belt
● ISOFIX brackets
● Top-tether
Three-point seat belt
Child restraint systems can be
fastened by using a three-point seat
belt. Depending on the size of the
used child restraint systems, up to
three child restraint systems can be
attached to the rear seats 3 61.

Seats, restraints59ISOFIX brackets
Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIX
child restraint systems to the ISOFIX
brackets. Specific vehicle ISOFIX
child restraint system positions are
marked in the ISOFIX table 3 61.
ISOFIX brackets are indicated by a label on the backrest.
An i-Size child restraint system is an
universal ISOFIX child restraint
system according UN Regulation No.
129.
All i-Size child restraint systems can be used on any vehicle seat suitable
for i-Size, i-Size table 3 61.
Either a Top-tether strap or a support
leg must be used in addition to the
ISOFIX brackets.
i-Size child seats and vehicle seats
with i-Size approval are marked with
i-Size symbol, see illustration.
Top-tether fastening eyes
Top-tether fastening eyes are marked
with the symbol : for a child seat.
In addition to the ISOFIX brackets,
fasten the Top-tether strap to the
Top-tether fastening eyes.
ISOFIX child restraint systems of
universal category positions are
marked in the table by IUF 3 61.
Selecting the right system The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint system.
Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. This makes sure that the child's backbone, which is still very
weak, is under less strain in the event
of an accident.
