front passenger's side is not
activated.
Safety information
▷
The indicator light does not illuminate
when, for instance, a correctly seated per-
son of sufficient size is detected on the
seat. The airbag on the front passenger's
side is activated.
Warning
To ensure the front passenger airbag func-
tion, the system must be able to detect
whether a person is sitting in the front pass-
enger seat. The entire seat surface must be
used for this purpose. There is a risk of injury
or danger to life. Make sure that the front
passenger keeps his or her feet in the foot-
well.
Fault of the automatic deactivation
system
For adolescents and adults, the front pass-
enger airbag may deactivate in certain seat
positions. In this case, the indicator light for
the front passenger airbag illuminates in the
headliner.
Functional requirements
To enable accurate recognition of the occupied
seat surface:
In this case, change the seat position so that
the front passenger airbag activates and the
indicator light goes out.
▷
Do not attach covers, cushions, ball mats
or other items to the front passenger seat
unless they are specifically determined to
be safe for use on the front passenger seat.
If it is not possible to activate the airbags, have
the person sit in the rear seat.
▷
▷
Do not place objects under the seat that
can press against the seat from below.
Detected child restraint systems
Do not place any electronic devices on the
front passenger seat if a child restraint sys-
tem is to be installed on it.
The system generally detects children seated
in a child restraint system, particularly in child
restraint systems required by NHTSA at the
point in time when the vehicle was manufac-
tured. After installing a child restraint system,
make sure that the indicator light for the front
passenger airbag illuminates. This indicates
that the child restraint system has been de-
tected and the front passenger airbag is not
activated.
▷
No moisture in or on the seat.
Indicator light, front passenger
airbag
The front passenger airbag indicator light in
the headliner indicates the operating state of
the front passenger airbag.
The light indicates whether the airbag is acti-
vated or deactivated.
Collision warning systems
After drive-ready state is switched on, the light
illuminates briefly and then indicates whether
the airbag is activated or deactivated.
General information
Depending on the equipment, the vehicle has
different systems that can help prevent the risk
of imminent collision.
▷
The indicator light illuminates
when a child is properly
seated in a child restraint
system or when the seat is
empty. The airbag on the

Safety information
Warning
The following functions are adjustable.
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver’s personal judgment in assessing
the traffic situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot independently react to
all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-
dent, injury, and property damage. Adjust
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch the
surrounding traffic situation closely, be ready
to take over steering and braking at any time,
and actively intervene where appropriate.

Detection capability
The system's detection capability is limited.
Warning
The system only takes into account objects
that are located in the detection range of the
installed sensors and are detected by the sys-
tem.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the area
is monitored by cameras or radar sensors.
Thus, a system response might not come or
might come late.

Forward Collision Mitigation
with brake intervention
Principle
The Forward Collision Mitigation can help
prevent accidents. If an accident cannot be
avoided, the system can help reduce the se-
verity of the accident.
The system can issue a warning of a possible
risk of collision and activate the brakes inde-
pendently, if needed.
Sensors
Depending on the equipment, the system is
controlled by the following sensors:
