Airbag deactivation

9 Warning

The front passenger airbag system

must be deactivated for child restraint

system on the passenger seat

according to the instructions in the

table 3 68. The side airbag and

curtain airbag systems, the belt

pretensioners and all driver airbag

systems will remain active.

Keep the area in which the airbag

inflates clear of obstructions.

Notice

Only use protective seat covers that

have been approved for the vehicle.

Be careful not to cover the airbags.

Curtain airbag system

The curtain airbag system consists of

an airbag in the roof frame on each

side. This can be identified by the

word AIRBAG on the roof pillars.

The curtain airbag system is triggered

in the event of a side-on impact of a

certain severity. The ignition must be

switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion the

impact, thereby reducing the risk of

injury to the head in the event of a

side-on impact considerably.

9 Warning

Keep the area in which the airbag

inflates clear of obstructions.

The hooks on the handles in the

roof frame are only suitable for

hanging up light articles of

clothing, without coat hangers. Do

not keep any items in these

clothes.

The front passenger airbag system

can be deactivated via a key-

operated switch on the passenger

side of the instrument panel.

Use the ignition key to choose the

position:

Consult a workshop immediately if

neither of the two control indicators

are illuminated.

Change status only when the vehicle

is stopped with the ignition off.

Status remains until the next change.

continuously in the

overhead console.

VON : front passenger airbag is

active

If the control indicator V illuminates

for approx. 60 seconds after the

ignition is switched on, the front

passenger airbag system will inflate

in the event of a collision.

If the control indicator * illuminates

after the ignition is switched on, the

front passenger airbag system is

deactivated. It stays on while the

airbag is deactivated.

9 Danger

Deactivate passenger airbag only

in combination with the use of a

child restraint system, subject to

the instructions and restrictions in

the table 3 68.

Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal

injury for a person occupying a

seat with a deactivated front

passenger airbag.

If both control indicators are

illuminated at the same time, there is

a system failure. The status of the

system is not discernible, therefore

no person is allowed to occupy the

front passenger seat. Contact a

workshop immediately.

66

Seats, restraints

Always comply with local or national

regulations. In some countries, the

use of child restraint systems is

forbidden on certain seats.

Child restraint systems can be

fastened with:

ISOFIX brackets

9 Danger

attached to the rear seats. After

fastening the child restraint system

the seat belt has to be tightened

3 68.

Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIX

child restraint systems to the ISOFIX

brackets. Specific vehicle ISOFIX

child restraint system positions are

marked in the ISOFIX table 3 68.

An i-size child restraint system is an

universal ISOFIX child restraint

system according UN Regulation

No. 129.

All i-size child restraint systems can

be used on any vehicle seat suitable

for i-size, i-size table 3 68.

When a child restraint system is being

used, pay attention to the following

usage and installation instructions as

well as to those supplied with the child

restraint system.

67

Either a Top-tether strap or a support

leg must be used in addition to the

ISOFIX brackets.

In addition to the ISOFIX brackets,

fasten the Top-tether strap to the

Top-tether anchors.

ISOFIX child restraint systems of

universal category positions are

marked in the table by IUF 3 68.

Maxi Cosi Cabriofix for children up to

13 kg for group 0, group 0+ and Duo

Plus for children from 13 kg to 18 kg

in group I.

Ensure that the child restraint system

to be installed is compatible with the

vehicle type.

Ensure that the mounting location of

the child restraint system within the

vehicle is correct, see following

tables.

Allow children to enter and exit the

vehicle only on the side facing away

from the traffic.

Selecting the right system

The rear seats are the most

convenient location to fasten a child

restraint system.

Children should travel facing

rearwards in the vehicle as long as

possible. This makes sure that the

child's backbone, which is still very

weak, is under less strain in the event

of an accident.

i-size child seats and vehicle seats

with i-size approval are marked with

i-size symbol, see illustration.

Top-tether anchors

Top-tether anchors are marked with

the symbol : for a child seat.

When the child restraint system is not

in use, secure the seat with a seat belt

or remove it from the vehicle.

Suitable are restraint systems that

comply with valid UN ECE

Do not affix anything on the child

regulations. Check local laws and

regulations for mandatory use of child
