position:  
Make sure that children below sufficient  
size and weight are protected using a  
suitable child restraint system. Never  
place a child on the lap.  
OFF  
front passenger airbag is  
deactivated and will not inflate  
in the event of a collision.  
Control indicator illuminates  
continuously in the centre  
console  
If the control indicator ON 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 OFF illuminates  
after the ignition is switched on,  
the front passenger airbag system is  
deactivated. It stays on while the airbag  
is deactivated.  
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.  
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
