Make sure that children below

sufficient size and weight are

protected using a suitable child

restraint system. Never place a

child on the lap.

Deactivate passenger airbag only

in combination with the use of a

child restraint system, subject to

the instructions and restrictions in

the table 3 50.

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.

9 Danger

If using a rear-facing child restraint

system on the front passenger

seat, the airbag system for the

front passenger seat must be

deactivated. This also applies to

certain forward-facing child

restraint systems as indicated in

the tables 3 50.

Consult a workshop immediately if

neither of the two control indicators

are illuminated.
