explosive manner, repairs must be

performed by skilled personnel

only.

Warning

Adding accessories that change

the vehicle's frame, bumper

system, height, front end or side

sheet metal, may keep the airbag

system from working properly. The

also be affected by changing any

parts of the front seats, seat belts,

airbag sensing and diagnostic

module, steering wheel,

instrument panel, inner door seals

including the speakers, any of the

airbag modules, ceiling or pillar

trim, front sensors, side impact

sensors or airbag wiring.

sides of the front passenger sun visor.
Airbag deactivation

49.

Front airbag system

The front airbag system consists of

one airbag in the steering wheel and

one in the roof on the front passenger

side. These can be identified by the

word AIRBAG.
The front airbag system is triggered in

the event of a front-end 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 upper body and head of

the front seat occupants

considerably.

Warning

Optimum protection is only

provided when the seat is in the

proper position.
Seat position

32.

Keep the area in which the airbag

inflates clear of obstructions.
Fit the seat belt correctly and

engage securely. Only then is the

airbag able to protect.

Seats, restraints

Side airbag system

The side airbag system consists of an

airbag in each front seat backrest.

This can be identified by the word

AIRBAG.
The side airbag system is triggered in

the event of a side 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 upper body and pelvis in

the event of a side-on collision

considerably.

Warning

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.

Seats, restraints

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.

Airbag deactivation

The front passenger airbag system

must be deactivated for child restraint

system on the passenger seat

according to the instructions in the

table

54. The side airbag and

curtain airbag systems, the belt

pretensioners and all driver airbag

systems will remain active.

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:
OFF

: front passenger airbag is

deactivated and will not

inflate in the event of a

collision, control indicator

OFF

illuminates

continuously in the centre

console

: front passenger airbag is

active

Danger

Deactivate passenger airbag only

in combination with the use of a

child restraint system, subject to

the instructions and restrictions in

the table

54.

Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal

injury for a person occupying a

seat with a deactivated front

passenger airbag.

Seats, restraints

If the control indicator

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.
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.
Consult a workshop immediately if

neither of the two control indicators

are illuminated.
In the event of a fault a warning

message is displayed in the Driver

Information Centre and warning

chime will sound.

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. Do not use forward

facing child restraint system at all

seats when child's weight is below 13

kg.
Suitable are child restraint systems

that comply with valid UN ECE

regulations. Check local laws and

regulations for mandatory use of child

restraint systems.

The following child restraints are

recommended for the following

weight classes:

● Group 0+:

Römer Baby-Safe Plus with

ISOFIX base for children up to

13 kg
