Malfunction

The warning lamps come on. Active
steering is no longer operational. At
low speeds, greater steering wheel
movements are required, whereas at

higher speeds the vehicle reacts more sensi-
tively to steering wheel movements. Drive cau-
tiously and think well ahead. Have the system
checked.
If the warning lamp lights up during the first
engine starting following a power supply inter-
ruption, the system must be activated by being
initialized.

Brake Force Display*

The brake lamps light up in two stages,
depending on how sharply you apply the
brakes.

>

Normal braking:
The brake lamps and the center brake lamp
light up.

>

Sharp braking:
The illuminated surface of the brake lamps
is enlarged, as long as the rear fog light is
not switched on.

Airbags

The following airbags are located under the
marked covers:
1 Front airbags
2 Head airbags
3 Side airbags

Protective action

Observe the adjustment instructions on
page

31

to ensure the best possible per-

sonal protection.

<

The front airbags help protect the driver and
front passenger by responding to frontal

impacts in which safety belts alone cannot pro-
vide adequate restraint. When needed, the
head and side airbags help provide protection in
the event of side impact. The relevant side air-
bag supports the side upper body area. The
head air bag supports the head.
The airbags will purposely not be activated by
every collision, e.g. not by more minor acci-
dents, certain roll-over situations and rear-end
collisions.

Do not apply adhesive materials to the
cover panels of the airbags, cover them or

modify them in any other way. Do not attach
