and symbols can vary depending on the ver-
sion of the instrument cluster.

up, in some cases together with acoustic
warnings or additional symbols. Do not
driv
e on! Danger. Check the fault. Seek expert
assistance if necessary. Priority 2 warning
The yellow central warning lamp flashes or

Speed range
The basic function of the proactiv
e occupant
protection system is available when driving
forwards at speeds from approx. 30 km/h
(19 mph).
Displays
In the event of intervention by the
proactive occupant protection sys-
tem, the red warning lamp lights up
on the instrument cluster display. WARNING
The intelligent proactive occupant protec-
tion system cannot o
vercome the laws of
physics, and functions only within the lim-
its of the system. Never let the extra con-
venience afforded by the proactive occu-
pant protection system tempt you into tak-
ing any risks when driving. The system can-
not prevent a collision. The system is not
a substitute for the full concentration of
the driver.
x Adapt your speed and distance from the
vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather,
road and traffic conditions.
x The system cannot detect objects in all
situations.
x The proactive occupant protection sys-
tem does not react to animals or poorly
visible objects.
x Reflective objects such as safety barri-
ers, tunnel entrances, heavy rain and ice
can impair the performance of the pro-
active occupant protection system and
thus prevent it from detecting a collision
risk.
x The system may be falsely triggered. Functions of the proactive oc-
cupant protection system
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 45.
Basic functions
The f
ollowing functions may be triggered in-
dividually or together in critical driving situa-
tions, e.g. in the event of emergency braking,
understeer and oversteer or minor collisions:

The front passenger front airbag may
trigger during an accident in spite of the
fault.
Troubleshooting
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 47. Fault in airbag or belt tensioner system
The yellow indicator lamp lights up continu-
ously. In addition, a message may be dis-
played in the instrument cluster.
A malfunction has been detected in at least
one airbag or belt tensioner.

When the hazard warning lights are switched
on, f
or example if you are being towed, you
can still indicate a change in direction or lane
change by operating the turn signal. The haz-
ard warning lights will be interrupted tempo-
rarily.
