front passenger's side is not

activated.

Safety information

▷

The indicator light does not illuminate

when, for instance, a correctly seated per-

son of sufficient size is detected on the

seat. The airbag on the front passenger's

side is activated.

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

or danger to life. Make sure that the front

passenger keeps his or her feet in the foot-

well.

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.

Functional requirements

To enable accurate recognition of the occupied

seat surface:

In this case, change the seat position so that

the front passenger airbag activates and the

indicator light goes out.

▷

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.

If it is not possible to activate the airbags, have

the person sit in the rear seat.

▷

Do not place objects under the seat that

can press against the seat from below.

Detected child restraint systems

Do not place any electronic devices on the

front passenger seat if a child restraint sys-

tem is to be installed on it.

The system generally detects children seated

in a child restraint system, particularly in child

restraint systems required by NHTSA at the

point in time when the vehicle was manufac-

tured. After installing a child restraint system,

make sure that the indicator light for the front

passenger airbag illuminates. This indicates

that the child restraint system has been de-

tected and the front passenger airbag is not

activated.

▷

No moisture in or on the seat.

Indicator light, front passenger

airbag

The front passenger airbag indicator light in

the headliner indicates the operating state of

the front passenger airbag.

The light indicates whether the airbag is acti-

vated or deactivated.

Collision warning systems

After drive-ready state is switched on, the light

illuminates briefly and then indicates whether

the airbag is activated or deactivated.

General information

Depending on the equipment, the vehicle has

different systems that can help prevent the risk

of imminent collision.

▷

The indicator light illuminates

when a child is properly

seated in a child restraint

system or when the seat is

empty. The airbag on the

Safety information

Warning

The following functions are adjustable.

The system cannot serve as a substitute for

the driver’s personal judgment in assessing

the traffic situation. Based on the limits of

the system, it cannot independently react to

all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-

dent, injury, and property damage. Adjust

driving style to traffic conditions. Watch the

surrounding traffic situation closely, be ready

to take over steering and braking at any time,

and actively intervene where appropriate.

Forward Collision Mitigation

with brake intervention

Principle

The Forward Collision Mitigation can help

prevent accidents. If an accident cannot be

avoided, the system can help reduce the se-

verity of the accident.

The system can issue a warning of a possible

risk of collision and activate the brakes inde-

pendently, if needed.

Sensors

Depending on the equipment, the system is

controlled by the following sensors:

General information

Depending on the equipment version, the For-

ward Collision Mitigation system includes the

following functions:
