Technology for driving comfort and safety

Operational readiness of airbag system

When the remote control is inserted into the
ignition lock or the car is radio-ready, refer to
page

, the warning lamp comes on briefly to

indicate that the entire airbag system and the
belt tensioners are operational.

Airbag system malfunction

The warning lamp does not come on after
the remote control has been inserted into
the ignition switch

Warning lamp remains permanently on

In the event of a fault in the airbag system,
have it checked without delay, as other-

wise there is the risk that the system will not
function as intended even if a sufficiently severe
accident occurs.

Passenger airbag status lamp

The indicator lamp located above the rearview
mirror indicates whether the front passenger
airbag system is active or not active/OFF.

The indicator lamp is used only for the
front passenger airbag system. The indi-

cator lamp illuminates to show that the front
passenger airbag system is OFF/not active.

The lamp illuminates briefly during startup,
but then goes out if the seat is empty, or an
adult or child of sufficient size is detected.

The lamp remains illuminated when a child
in a rear-facing child-restraint system is
detected and indicates that the passenger
airbag system is off.

If the lamp is illuminated when the seat is
occupied by a very light adult or teenager,

it is recommended that the person sit in the
rear.

ger airbag system and seat occupancy detec-
