bag cannot performits intended protective
function,e.g. when aperson is seated in the
front-passenger seat.
That person could, for example, come into
contact with the vehicle's interior, especially
if the person is sitting too close to the dash-
board. This poses an increased risk of injury
or even fatal injury.
When the front-passenger seat is occupied,
always ensure that:
R
the classification of the person in the
front-passenger seat is correct and the
front-passenger frontair bag is enabled or
deactivated in accordance with the per-
son in the front-passenger seat
R
the person is seated properly with acor-
rectly fastened seatbelt
R
the front-passenger seat has been moved
as far back as possible
If the PASSENGER AIR BAGOFF indicator
lamp remains lit when it should not,the
front-passenger seat must not be used. Do
not install achild restraint system on the
front-passenger seat. Have the Occupant
Classification System (OCS) checked and
repaired immediately at aqualified specialist
workshop.

WARNING
Objects between the seat surface and the
child restraint system could affect OCS
operation.This could result in the front-
passenger air bag not functioning as inten-
ded during an accident. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Do not place any objects between the seat
surface and the child restraint system. The
entire base of the child restraint system
must always rest on the seat cushion of the
front-passenger seat. The backrest of the
forward-facingchild restraint system must,
as far as possible, be resting on the back-
rest of the front-passenger seat. Always
comply with the child restraint system man-
ufacturer's installation instructions.
After the self-test, the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF or the PASSENGER AIR BAGONindicator
lamp displays the status of the front-
passenger frontairbag (Y page 46). If the
front-passenger frontairbag is enabled, the
PASSENGER AIR BAGONindicator lamp lights
up for 60 seconds and then goes out.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAGONindicator lamp
is off, only the PASSENGER AIR BAGOFF indi-
cator lamp shows the status of the front-
passenger frontairbag. The PASSENGER AIR
BAGOFF indicator lamp may be lit continu-
ously or be off.
