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.

Warnings and information on the airbags are
also found on the sun visors.

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.

cordingly.

▷
Do not hang pieces of clothing, such as jack‐
ets, over the backrests.

nents or the wiring in the airbag system. This
also applies to steering wheel covers, the
dashboard, the seats, the roof pillars and the

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.

other items to the front passenger seat un‐

mantled and the airbag generator scrapped by
your service center or a workshop that has the
necessary authorization for handling explosives.
