60Seats, restraintsAirbag systemThe airbag system consists of a
number of individual systems
depending on the scope of
equipment.
When triggered, the airbags inflate
within milliseconds. They also deflate
so quickly that it is often unnoticeable during the collision.9 Warning
As the airbag system deploys in an
explosive manner, repairs must be
performed by skilled personnel
only.
9 Warning
Adding accessories that change
the vehicle's frame, bumper
system, height, front end or side
sheet metal, may keep the airbag
system from working properly. The operation of the airbag system can
also be affected by changing any
parts of the front seats, seat belts,
airbag sensing and diagnostic
module, steering wheel,
instrument panel, inner door seals including the speakers, any of the
airbag modules, ceiling or pillar
trim, front sensors, side impact
sensors or airbag wiring.
Note
The airbag systems and belt
pretensioner control electronics are
located in the centre console area.
Do not put any magnetic objects in
this area.
Do not affix any objects onto the
airbag covers and do not cover them with other materials. Have damagedcovers replaced by a workshop.
Each airbag is triggered only once.
Have deployed airbags replaced by
a workshop. Furthermore, it may be
necessary to have the steering
wheel, the instrument panel, parts of
the panelling, the door seals,
handles and the seats replaced.
Do not make any modifications to
the airbag system as this will
invalidate the vehicle operating
permit.

Beyond the warning required by
ECE R94.02, for safety reasons a
forward-facing child restraint system
must only be used subject to the
instructions and restrictions in the
Child restraint installation locations
tables 3 68.
The airbag label is located on the front
passenger sun visor.9 Danger
Do not use a child restraint system
on the passenger seat with active
front airbag.
Airbag deactivation 3 64.
Front airbag system
The front airbag system consists of
one airbag in the steering wheel and
one in the instrument panel on the
front passenger side. These can be
identified by the word AIRBAG.
The front airbag system is triggered in the event of an accident of a certain
severity. The ignition must be
switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the upper body and head of
the front seat occupants
considerably.
9 Warning
Optimum protection is only
provided when the seat is in the
proper position.
Seat position 3 47.
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Fasten the seat belt correctly and
engage securely. Only then is the
airbag able to protect.
Side airbag system

Seats, restraints65The belt tensioners and all other
airbag systems will remain active.
Depending on vehicle, there is a
warning on the airbag label located on the front passenger sun visor. Refer
to "Airbag system" for further
information 3 60.
Front passenger airbag system can
be deactivated via a switch located on the side of the instrument panel.
Open the front passenger door to
access the switch.
Press the switch in and rotate to
choose the position:* OFF:front passenger seat airbag
system is deactivated and
will not inflate in the event of
a collision. Control indicator
* OFF illuminates
continuously in the roof
console 3 94, 3 98 and
a corresponding message
appears in the Driver
Information Centre 3 103.Ó ON:front passenger airbag
system is active.9 Danger
Deactivate passenger airbag only
in combination with the use of a
child restraint system, subject to
the instructions and restrictions in
the table 3 68.
Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal
injury for a person occupying a
seat with a deactivated front
passenger airbag.
If control indicator ÓON illuminates
after the ignition is switched on and
control indicator *OFF is not
illuminated, the front passenger
airbag system will inflate in the event
of a collision.
If both control indicators ÓON and
* OFF are illuminated
simultaneously, there is a system
failure. The status of the system is not discernible, therefore no person is
permitted to occupy the front
passenger seat. Contact a workshop immediately.
If control indicator j 3 99
illuminates together with v 3 98,
this indicates a fault within the
system. The switch position may have been changed inadvertently with the
ignition on. Turn ignition off and on
again and reset the switch position. If
j and v still remain illuminated, seek
the assistance of a workshop.
Change status only when the vehicle
is stopped with the ignition off. Status remains until the next change.

deactivation 3 98.
