Front airbags  
Side airbag  
In the event of a side collision, the side airbag  
protects the side of the body in the chest and  
lap area.  
The front airbag helps protect the driver and  
front passenger in the event of a frontal impact  
in which the seat belts alone would not provide  
adequate protection.  
Head airbag  
In the event of a side collision, the head airbag  
protects the head.

CONTROLS  
shoulder rests against the backrest when  
crossing the hands and the upper body  
is as far back as possible while still main-  
taining a comfortable grip on the steering  
wheel.  
Ejection Mitigation  
The head airbag system is designed as an  
ejection mitigation countermeasure to reduce  
the likelihood of ejections of vehicle occupants  
through side windows during rollovers or side  
collision events.  
▷
Make sure that the front passenger is sit-  
ting correctly, i.e., with their feet and legs in  
the footwell, not resting on the dashboard.  
Knee airbag  
The availability of the knee airbag depends on  
the national-market version.  
▷
▷
Make sure that occupants keep their heads  
away from the side airbag.  
There should be no additional persons, an-  
imals or objects between an airbag and a  
person.  
The knee airbag protects the legs in the event  
of a frontal impact.  
▷
▷
Dashboard and windshield on the pas-  
senger's side must stay clear - do not at-  
tach adhesive film or coverings and do not  
attach brackets or cables, for instance for  
navigation devices or mobile phones.  
Protective effect  
General information  
Airbags are not deployed in every impact sit-  
uation, e.g., in less severe accidents.  
Do not bond the airbag cover panels with  
adhesive, do not cover them or modify  
them in any way.  
Information on optimum protective  
effect of the airbags  
▷
▷
Do not use the cover of the front airbag on  
the passenger's side as a storage area.  
Warning  
Keep storage compartments near the air-  
bags closed, e.g., glove compartment or  
center armrest.  
If the seat position is incorrect, the seat  
belts are fastened incorrectly or the deploy-  
ment area of the airbags is impaired, the  
airbag system cannot provide protection as  
intended and may cause additional injuries  
due to deployment. There is a risk of injury  
or danger to life. Follow the information on  
achieving the optimum protective effect of the  
airbag system.  
▷
Do not place slip covers, seat cushions,  
or other objects on the front seats unless  
they are specifically designed for seats with  
integrated airbags.  
▷
▷
Do not hang pieces of clothing such as  
jackets over the backrests.  
Do not modify individual components or  
wiring. This also applies to steering wheel  
covers, the dashboard, and the seats.  
▷
▷
▷
Keep a distance from the airbags.  
Fasten the seat belts correctly.  
▷
Do not disassemble the airbag system.  
Always grasp the steering wheel on the  
steering wheel rim. Hold your hands at the  
3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions to keep the  
risk of injury to your hands or arms as low  
as possible when the airbag is deployed.  
Even when you follow all instructions very  
closely, injury from contact with the airbags  
cannot be fully ruled out in certain situations.  
The ignition and inflation noise may lead  
to short-term and, in most cases, temporary  
hearing impairment in sensitive occupants.  
▷
Adjust seat and steering wheel so that  
hands can be crossed over the steering  
wheel. Select the settings so that the

Malfunction  
▷
Warning light does not illuminate  
when drive-ready state is turned on.  
▷
The warning light illuminates con-  
tinuously.  
Warnings and information on the airbags are  
also found on the sun visors.  
The airbag system or the seat belt tension-  
ers may not be operational. Have the vehicle  
checked immediately by an authorized service  
center or another qualified service center or  
repair shop.  
Operational readiness of the airbag  
system  
Safety information  
Setting the front seat positions  
The power that deploys the driver's/front  
passenger airbags depends on the position of  
the driver's/front passenger seat.  
Warning  
Individual components can be hot after de-  
ployment of the airbag system. There is a risk  
of injury. Do not touch individual components.  
To maintain the accuracy of this function, cali-  
brate the electrical front seats as soon as a re-  
spective message appears on the control dis-  
play.  
Warning  
Improperly executed work can lead to failure,  
malfunction or unintentional deployment of  
the airbag system. In the case of a malfunc-  
tion, the airbag system might not deploy as  
intended despite the accident severity. There  
is a risk of injury or danger to life. Have the  
airbag system checked, repaired, disassem-  
bled, and scrapped by an authorized service  
center or another qualified service center or  
repair shop.  
Additional information:  
Seats, refer to page 108.  
Automatic deactivation of  
front passenger airbag  
Principle  
The automatic front passenger airbag deacti-  
vation can detect if the front passenger seat is  
occupied.  
Display in the instrument cluster  
The front passenger airbag is activated or de-  
activated accordingly.  
When drive-ready state is turned on,  
the warning light in the instrument  
cluster illuminates briefly, thereby indi-  
cating the operational readiness of the entire  
airbag system and the seat belt tensioners.  
Safety information  
Warning  
To ensure the front passenger airbag func-  
tion, the system must be able to detect  
whether a person is sitting in the front pass-  
enger seat. The entire seat surface must be  
used for this purpose. There is a risk of injury  
184

or danger to life. Make sure that the front  
passenger keeps his or her feet in the foot-  
well.  
Indicator light, front passenger  
airbag  
The front passenger airbag indicator light in  
the headliner indicates the operating state of  
the front passenger airbag.  
Functional requirements  
To enable accurate recognition of the occupied  
seat surface:  
The light indicates whether the airbag is acti-  
vated or deactivated.  
After drive-ready state is switched on, the light  
illuminates briefly and then indicates whether  
the airbag is activated or deactivated.  
▷
Do not attach covers, cushions, ball mats  
or other items to the front passenger seat  
unless they are specifically determined to  
be safe for use on the front passenger seat.

▷
Do not place objects under the seat that  
can press against the seat from below.  
The indicator light is contin-  
uously illuminated when the  
seat is not occupied or when a  
child is detected on the seat in  
a provided child restraint sys-  
tem as intended. The airbag  
on the front passenger's side  
is not activated.  
Sit upright in the seat with your back  
against the backrest.  
Sit down with your feet touching the floor.  
Installing child restraint systems  
To enable accurate recognition of the occupied  
seat surface of the front passenger seat:  
The indicator light does not il-  
luminate when, for instance, a  
correctly seated person of suf-  
ficient size is detected on the  
seat. The airbag on the front  
passenger's side is activated.  
▷
Pay attention to the specifications and the  
operating and safety information of the  
child restraint system manufacturer when  
using child restraint systems.  
▷
▷
Make sure that the seat surface of the child  
restraint system rests as flat as possible on  
the seat surface.  
When the front passenger seat is occupied,  
check the indicator light in the headliner before  
and while driving.  
Move the head restraint up or remove it to  
ensure that the child restraint system rests  
as flat as possible against the rear seat  
backrest.  
Fault of the automatic deactivation  
system  
For adolescents and adults, the front pass-  
enger airbag may deactivate in certain seat  
positions. In this case, the indicator light for  
the front passenger airbag illuminates in the  
headliner.  
▷
Observe the maximum size of the child re-  
straint system, for example to avoid possi-  
ble touching the roof.  
Before transporting a child on the front pass-  
enger seat, refer to the safety information and  
instructions for children on the front passenger  
seat, see Children.  
In this case, change the seat position so that  
the front passenger airbag activates and the  
indicator light goes out.  
More information: installation of child restraint  
systems, refer to page 126.  
If it is not possible to activate the airbags, have  
the person sit in the rear seat.

Warning  
Harder vehicle deceleration  
In certain situations, it may be necessary to  
bring the vehicle to a stop more quickly than  
automatic braking with PostCrash iBrake.  
The system cannot serve as a substitute for  
the driver’s personal judgment. Due to the  
system limits, critical situations might not be  
detected reliably or in time. There is a risk  
of accident. Adjust driving style to traffic con-  
ditions. Watch surrounding traffic closely and  
actively intervene where appropriate  
To do this, quickly apply extra force to the  
brake. The brake pressure will then be higher  
than the brake pressure generated by auto-  
matic braking. Automatic braking with Post-  
Crash iBrake is canceled.  
Function  
Depending on the equipment and require-  
ments, the following individual functions are

lyzing whether they are paying attention, e.g.,  
by evaluating their head position and eyes.  
Functional requirements  
For full operability, make sure that the field of  
view of the Driver Attention Camera is not ob-  
structed.  
The steering wheel and driver’s seat height  
must be adjusted so that the entire instrument  
cluster is visible. This enables the Driver Atten-  
tion Camera to record the driver’s entire face.  
Overview  
Depending on vehicle equipment, the instru-  
ment cluster may have some infrared light  
sources. Depending on the light conditions,  
these light sources can be visible when the
