Keep the dashboard and window on the
front passenger side clear, i.e., do not cover
withadhesivelabels orcoverings, and do not
attach holders such as for navigation instru‐
ments and mobile phones.
Non-professional attempts to service the sys‐
tem could lead to failure in an emergency or un‐
desired triggering of the airbag, either of which
could result in injury.◀
Warnings and information on the airbags are
also found on the sun visors.
▷
▷
Make sure that the front passenger is sitting
correctly, i.e., keeps his or her feet and legs
in the footwell; otherwise, leg injuries can
occur if the front airbag is triggered.
Automatic deactivation of the front
passenger airbags
Do not place slip covers, seat cushions or
other objects on the front passenger seat
that are not approved specifically for seats
with integrated side airbags.
The system determines whether the front pas‐
senger seat is occupied by measuring the re‐
sistance of the human body.

passenger side are activated or deactivated ac‐
cordingly.
▷
▷
Do not hang pieces of clothing, such as jack‐
ets, over the backrests.
Make sure that occupants keep their heads
away from the side airbag and do not rest
against the head airbag; otherwise, injuries
can occur if the airbags are triggered.

ger seat, see the safety notes and instructions
under Children on the front passenger seat.◀

nents or the wiring in the airbag system. This
also applies to steering wheel covers, the
dashboard, the seats, the roof pillars and the
sides of the headliner.◀
Malfunction of the automatic
deactivation system
When transporting older children and adults, the
front passenger airbags may be deactivated in
certain sitting positions. In this case, the indica‐
tor lamp for the front passenger airbags lights
up.
Even when all instructions are followed closely,
injury from contact with the airbags cannot be
ruled out in certain situations.
The ignition and inflation noise may lead to
short-term and, in most cases, temporary hear‐
ing impairment in sensitive individuals.
In this case, change the sitting position so that
the front passenger airbags are activated and
the indicator lamp goes out.
If it is not possible to activate the airbags, have
the person sit in the rear.
In the case of a malfunction, deactivation
and after triggering of the airbags

other items to the front passenger seat un‐
less they are specifically recommended by
the manufacturer of your vehicle.
Only have the airbags checked, repaired or dis‐
mantled and the airbag generator scrapped by
your service center or a workshop that has the
necessary authorization for handling explosives.

Do not place objects under the seat that
could press against the seat from below.
