Classification System (OCS)" (Ypage 44).
You can thus avoid the riskst hat could arise as
ar esult of:
Ran incorrectly categorized personint he front-
passenger seat
Rthe unintentional deactivatio nofthe front-
passenger front air bag
Rthe unsuitable positionin gofthe child
restraint system, e.g. too clos etothe dash-
board
Rearward-facing child restraint system
If it is absolutely necessary to install arearward-
facin gchild restraint system on the front-
passenger seat, always make sure that the
front-passenge rfront air bag is deactivated.
Only if the PASSENGER AI RBAG OFF indicator
lamp is permanently lit (
Ypage 38) is the front-
passenger front air bag deactivated.
Always observe the child restraint system man-
ufacturer'si nstallation and operating instruc-
tions.
Forward-facing child restraint system
If you secur eachild in aforward-facin gchild
restraint system on the front-passenge rseat,
always move the front-passenge rseat as far
back as possible.T he entire base of the child
restraint system must always rest on the seat
cushio nofthe front-passenge rseat. The back-
rest of the child restraint system must lie as flat
as possible against the backrest of the front-
passenger seat. The child restraint system must
not touc hthe roof or be subjected to aload by
the head restraint .Adjust the angle of the seat
backrest and the head restraint position accord- ingly. Always make sure that the shoulder belt
strap is correctly routed fromt he front-
passenger seat belt loop to the shoulder belt
guide on the child restraint system. The shoul-
der belt strap must be routed forwards and
downwards fromt he front-passengerseat belt
loop.
Always observe the child restraint system man-
ufacturer'si nstallation and operating instruc-
tions.

lamps in the Ãand¿ buttons or the
Á button light up.
RSet the temperature to 72 ‡(22 †).
ROnly use the "Windshield defrosting" function
briefly until the windshieldisc lear again.
ROnly use air-recirculation mode briefly,e .g. if
there are unpleasant outside odors or when in
