The indicator lamp lights up
when a child who is properly
seated in a child restraint fix‐
ing system intended for that
purpose is detected on the
seat or the seat is empty. The
airbags on the front passen‐
ger side are not activated.
Unobstructed area of movement
Ensure that the area of movement of the

damage to objects.◀

Tire Pressure Monitor TPM*
The concept
Monitoring of the tire inflation pressure in the
four mounted tires. The system notifies you if
there is a significant loss of pressure in one or
more tires.
Most child seats are detected by the system,
especially the child seats required by the
NHTSA at the time the vehicle was manufac‐
tured. After installing a child seat, make sure that
the indicator lamp for the front passenger air‐
bags lights up. This indicates that the child seat
has been detected and the front passenger air‐
bags are not activated.
Conditions for operation
The system must have been reset when the in‐
flation pressure was correct; otherwise, reliable
signaling of a flat tire is not ensured. Always use
wheels with TPM electronics to ensure that the
system will operate properly. Reset the system
after each correction of the tire inflation pres‐
sure and after every tire or wheel change.
Strength of the driver's and front
passenger airbag
The strength with which the driver's and front
passenger airbags are triggered depends on the
position of the driver's and front passenger
seats.
System limits
