Function of the automatic front passenger
airbag shutoff
The automatic front passenger airbag shutoff is
able to detect whether the front passenger seat
is occupied by a person or a child restraint sys‐
tem. The front passenger airbag and front
passenger knee airbag are enabled or disabled
accordingly.
When installing a child restraint system on the
front passenger seat, always make sure of the
following:
R
Ensure that the child restraint system is posi‐
tioned correctly (/ page 51 ).
R
Always observe the child restraint system
manufacturer's installation instructions.
R
Never place objects, e.g. cushions, under or
behind the child restraint system.
R
Fully retract the seat cushion length adjust‐
ment.

The entire base of the child restraint system
must always rest on the seat cushion of the
front-passenger seat.
R
The backrest of the forward-facing child
restraint system must lie as flat as possible
against the backrest of the front-passenger
seat.
R
The child restraint system must not touch the
roof or be put under strain by the head
restraints. Adjust the seat backrest inclina‐
tion and the head restraint setting accord‐
ingly.
