Ejection Mitigation The head airbag system is designed as an ejec‐ tion mitigation countermeasure to reduce the likelihood of ejections of vehicle occupants through side windows during rollovers or side impact events. Knee airbag The knee airbag supports the legs in a frontal impact. Protective action Airbags are not triggered in every impact situa‐ tion, e.g., in less severe accidents or rear-end collisions. Information for optimum effect of the airbags
WARNING If the seat position is incorrect or the de‐ ployment area of the airbags is impacted, the airbag system cannot protect as intended or cause additional injuries due to triggering. There is risk of injuries or danger to life. Ob‐ serve the hints for optimum protective effect of the airbag system.◀ ▷ Keep at a distance from the airbags. ▷ Make sure that occupants keep their heads
away from the side airbag.
▷ Always grasp the steering wheel on the
steering wheel rim. Hold your hands at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, to keep the risk of injury to your hands or arms as low as possible when the airbag is trig‐ gered.
▷ Make sure that the front passenger is sitting correctly, i.e., keeps his or her feet and legs in the floor area and does not support them on the dashboard.
▷ There should be no persons, animals or ob‐
jects between an airbag and a person.

▷ Do not apply adhesive materials to the air‐
bag cover panels, do not cover them or modify them in any way.
▷ Dashboard and windshield on the front
passenger side must stay clear - do not at‐ tach adhesive labels or coverings and do not attach brackets or cables, e. g., for GPS devices or' mobile phones.
▷ Do not use the cover of the front airbag on the front passenger side as a storage area. ▷ Do not place slip covers, seat cushions or other objects on the front passenger seat that are not specifically suited for seats with integrated side airbags.
▷ Do not hang pieces of clothing, such as
jackets, over the backrests.
▷ Never modify either the individual compo‐
nents or the wiring in the airbag system. This also applies to steering wheel covers, the dashboard, and the seats.
▷ Do not remove the airbag system. Even when you follow all instructions very closely, injury from contact with the airbags cannot be fully ruled out in certain situations. The ignition and inflation noise may lead to short-term and, in most cases, temporary hear‐ ing impairment in sensitive individuals. Warnings and information on the airbags are also found on the sun visors.

Airbag system malfunctioning ▷ Warning lamp does not come on when the
ignition is turned on.
▷ The warning lamp lights up continuously. Automatic deactivation of the front- seat passenger airbags The concept The system reads if the front passenger seat is occupied by measuring the human body's re‐ sistance. Front, knee and side airbag on the front pas‐ senger's side are either activated or deacti‐ vated. Information Before transporting a child on the front passen‐ ger seat, refer to the safety notes and instruc‐ tions for children on the front passenger seat, see Children.
WARNING The ensure the front-seat passenger air‐ bag function, it must be detected, whether a person occupies the front passenger seat. The entire seat cushion area must be used for this purpose. There is risk of injuries or danger to
life. Make sure that the front passenger keeps his or her feet in the floor area.◀
Malfunction of the automatic deactivation system When transporting older children and adults, the front-seat passenger airbags may be deac‐ tivated in certain sitting positions. In this case, the indicator lamp for the front-seat passenger airbags lights up. In this case, change the sitting position so that the front-seat passenger airbags are activated and the indicator lamp goes out. If it is not possible to activate the airbags, have the person sit in the rear. To enable correct recognition of the occupied seat cushion. ▷ Do not attach covers, cushions, ball mats or other items to the front passenger seat un‐ less they are specifically determined to be safe for use on the front passenger seat.
▷ Do not place any electronic devices on the passenger seat if a child restraint system is to be installed on it.
▷ Do not place objects under the seat that could press against the seat from below.
▷ No moisture in or on the seat. Indicator lamp for the front-seat passenger airbags

The lamp indicates whether the airbags are ei‐ ther activated or deactivated.
▷ The indicator lamp lights up
when a child is properly seated in a child restraint fix‐ ing system or when the seat is empty. The airbags on the front passenger side are not activated.
▷ The indicator lamp does not light up when,
for example, a correctly seated person of sufficient size is detected on the seat. The airbags on the front passenger side are ac‐ tivated.
Detected child seats The system generally detects children seated in a child seat, particularly in child seats required by NHTSA when the vehicle was manufactured. After installing a child seat, make sure that the indicator lamp for the front-seat passenger air‐ bags lights up. This indicates that the child seat has been detected and the front-seat passen‐ ger airbags are not activated. Strength of the driver's and front-seat passenger airbag The explosive power that activates driver's/ front passenger's airbags very much depends on the positions of the driver's/front passeng‐ er's seat. To maintain the accuracy of this function over the long-term, calibrate the front seats as soon as a relevant Check Control message is dis‐ played. A message also appears on the Control Display. Calibrating the front seats
WARNING There is risk of jamming when moving the seats. There is risk of injuries or risk of property damage. Make sure that the area of movement of the seat is clear prior to any adjustment.◀

An appropriate Check Control message is dis‐ played. 1. Move the respective seat all the way for‐
ward.
2. Move the respective seat forward again. It
moves forward briefly.
3. Readjust the seat to the desired position. The calibration procedure is completed when the Check Control message disappears. If the message continues to be displayed, re‐ peat the calibration. If the message does not disappear after a re‐ peat calibration, have the system checked as soon as possible.
Tire Pressure Monitor TPM The concept The system monitors tire inflation pressure in the four mounted tires. The system warns you if there is a significant loss of pressure in one or more tires. For this purpose, sensors in the tire valves measure the tire inflation pressure. Information With use of the system observe further infor‐ mation found under Tire inflation pressure, re‐ fer to page 180. Functional requirements The system must have been reset with the cor‐ rect tire inflation pressure; otherwise, reliable signaling of tire pressure loss is not assured. Reset the system after each adjustment of the tire inflation pressure and after every tire or wheel change. Always use wheels with TPM electronics to en‐ sure that the system will operate properly.
