Front Passenger
Airbag Enabled
See Operator's
Manual
The front-passenger air bag is enabled during the journey, even
though:
R
a child, a small adult or an object weighing less than the
system's weight threshold is located on the front-passenger
seat.
R
the front-passenger seat is unoccupied.
The system may detect objects or forces applying additional
weight on the seat.
X Pull over and stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible, paying
attention to road and traffic conditions.
X Engage the parking brake.
X Switch off the ignition.
X Open the front-passenger door.
X Remove the child and the child restraint system from the front-
passenger seat.
X If necessary, secure the child in a child restraint system on a
suitable rear seat.
X Make sure that no objects are exerting force on the seat, e.g.:
R trapped books, bags, etc. lying on, behind or beside the seat
R head restraints pressing against the headliner
The system may otherwise detect these forces and interpret the
seat occupant's weight as greater than it actually is.
X Keep the seat unoccupied, close the front-passenger door and
switch on the ignition.
Observe the 42( Y page 45) indicator lamp and the
multifunction display and check the following:
Seat unoccupied and ignition switched on:
R
the 42 indicator lamp must light up and remain lit.
When the indicator lamp is on, OCS (
Y page 45) has deactivated
the front-passenger air bag.
R
the Front Passenger Airbag Enabled See Operator's
Manual or Front Passenger Airbag Disabled See
Operator's Manual display messages must not appear in the
multifunction display. Wait for a period of at least 60 seconds
until the necessary system checks have been completed and to
make sure that the display messages do not appear in the
multifunction display.
If these conditions are met, the front-passenger seat can be
occupied again. Whether the 42 indicator lamp
remains lit or goes out depends on how OCS classifies the
occupant.
If the conditions are not met, the system is not operating correctly.
