The front passenger airbag system
can be deactivated via a key-
operated switch on the passenger side of the instrument panel.
Use the key blade to change 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
overhead consoleV ON:front passenger airbag is
active9 Danger
Deactivate passenger airbag only
in combination with the use of a
child restraint system, subject to
the instructions and restrictions in
the table 3 53.
Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal
injury for a person occupying a
seat with a deactivated front
passenger airbag.
If control indicator ON V illuminates
for a certain time after the vehicle is switched on, the front passenger
airbag system will inflate in the event
of a collision.
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.
Change status only when the vehicle is stopped with the vehicle off.
Status remains until the next change.

Seats, restraints51Child restraints
Child restraint systems9 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 applies to certain forward-facing child
restraint systems as indicated in
the tables 3 53.
Airbag deactivation 3 49.
Airbag label 3 45.
We recommend a child restraint system which is tailored specifically to the vehicle. For further information,
contact your workshop.
When a child restraint system is being
used, pay attention to the following
usage and installation instructions
and also those supplied with the child
restraint system.
Always comply with local or national
regulations. In some countries, the
use of child restraint systems is
forbidden on certain seats.
Child restraint systems can be
fastened with:
● Three-point seat belt
● ISOFIX brackets
● Top-tether
Three-point seat belt
Child restraint systems can be
fastened by using a three-point seat
belt. Depending on the size of the
used child restraint systems, up to
three child restraint systems can be
attached to the rear seats. After
fastening the child restraint system
the seat belt has to be tightened
3 53.ISOFIX brackets
Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIX
child restraint systems to the ISOFIX
mounting brackets. Specific vehicle
ISOFIX child restraint system
positions are marked in the ISOFIX
table 3 53.
ISOFIX mounting brackets are
indicated by a label on the backrest.
Either a Top-tether strap or a support leg must be used in addition to the
ISOFIX mounting brackets.
Top-tether anchors Top-tether anchors are marked with
the symbol : for a child seat.
