Restraint system warning lamp
The functions of the restraint system are
checked after the ignition is switched on and
at regular intervals while the engine is running.
Therefore, malfunctions can be detected in
good time.
The 6 restraint system warning lamp on
the instrument cluster lights up when the igni-
tion is switched on. It goes out no later than a
few seconds after the vehicle is started. The
components of the restraint system are in
operational readiness.
A malfunction has occurred if the 6
restraint system warning lamp:
R
does not light up after the ignition is
switched on
R
does not go out after a few seconds with the
engine running
R
lights up again while the engine is running
G
WARNING
If the restraint system is malfunctioning,
restraint system components may be trig-
gered unintentionally or may not deploy as
intended during an accident. This can affect
for example the Emergency Tensioning
Device or the air bag. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired in a qualified specialist workshop
as soon as possible.
PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamp
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp :
and PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp ; are part of the Occupant Classifica-
tion System (OCS).
The indicator lamps display the status of the
front-passenger front air bag.
R
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up for 60
seconds, subsequently both indicator lamps
are off (PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and OFF):
the front-passenger front air bag is able to
deploy in the event of an accident.
R
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up: the
front-passenger front air bag is deactivated.
It will then not be deployed in the event of
an accident.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
is off, only the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indi-
cator lamp shows the status of the front-
passenger front air bag. The PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamp may be lit continu-
ously or be off.
Depending on the person in the front-
passenger seat, the front-passenger front air
bag must either be deactivated or enabled;
see the following points. You must make sure
of this both before and during a journey.
R
Children in a child restraint system:
whether the front-passenger front air bag is
enabled or deactivated depends on the
installed child restraint system, and the age
and size of the child. Therefore, be sure to
observe the notes on the "Occupant Classifi-
cation System (OCS)" (Y page 46) and on
"Children in the vehicle" (Y page 53).
There you will also find instructions on rear-
ward and forward-facing child restraint sys-
tems on the front-passenger seat.
R
All other persons: depending on the classi-
fication of the person in the front-passenger
seat, the front-passenger front air bag is
enabled or deactivated (Y page 46). Be
sure to observe the notes on "Seat
belts“ (Y page 39) and "Air bags"
(Y page 43). There you can also find infor-
mation on the correct seat position.
Seat belts
Introduction
Seat belts are the most effective means of
restricting the movement of vehicle occupants
in the event of an accident or the vehicle roll-
ing over. This reduces the risk of vehicle occu-
pants coming into contact with parts of the
vehicle interior or being ejected from the vehi-
cle. Furthermore, the seat belt helps to keep
