before the driver intervenes. This stabilizing
intervention is simultaneously deactivated

Malfunction
The warning lamp lights up yellow and
a message is shown on the Control

be deactivated. Proceed cautiously and drive
defensively. Have the system checked.

modify them in any other way. Do not attempt to
remove the airbag restraint system from the

To ensure that the safety systems con-
tinue to provide optimized protection,
please observe the adjustment instructions on

vide adequate restraint. When needed, the
