Information on automatic front passenger airbag
shut oM
The front passenger airbag can only be deployed
in an accident if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp is oM. If the front passenger seat is
occupied, make sure, both before and during the
journey, that the status of the front passenger air-
bag is correct ( page 54).
* NOTE Deplo
yment of components of the
restraint system when the front passenger
seat is unoccupied In an accident, the components of the
r
estraint system may deploy unnecessarily on
the front passenger side if:
= There are heavy objects on the front
passenger seat.
= The seat belt tongue is engaged in the seat
belt buckle of the front passenger seat and
the front passenger seat is unoccupied.
Stow objects in a suitable place.
Only one person should use each seat

windo
w airbag on the front passenger side may
deploy. The airbag is deployed regardless of
whether the front passenger seat is occupied.
Information on the cushionbag in the reclining

The cushionbag oMers additional occupant protec-
tion in the event of frontal impacts. When ena-
bled, the cushionbag deploys under the seat cush-
ion. This helps prevent the vehicle occupant from
slipping oM the seat cushion.
If you install a child restraint system on the reclin-
ing rear seat, always observe the additional notes
( page 59). Protection provided by the airbags
Depending on the accident situation, an airbag
ma

y supplement the protection oMered by a cor-
rectly fastened seat belt. &

y or death due to
an incorrect seat position

t
he airbag cannot perform its intended protec-
tive function.
Each vehicle occupant must make sure of the
following:
= Fasten seat belts correctly. Pregnant
women must take particular care to ensure
that the lap belt never lies across the
abdomen.
= Adopt the correct seat position and keep
as far away as possible from the airbags.
= Observe the following information.
Always make sure that there are no
objects be
tween the airbag and vehicle
occupant. To avoid the risks resulting from the deployment
of an airbag, eac
