The front-passenger front air bag and the front-passenger knee
bag are disabled during the journey even though a person larger
than a certain size is occupying the front-passenger seat. If
additional forces are applied to the seat, the system may interpret
the occupant's weight as lower than it actually is.

Manual Manual or Front Passenger Airbag Disabled See Front Passenger Airbag Disabled See
Operator's Manual Operator's Manual display messages must not be shown in
the multifunction display. Wait for a period of at least
60 seconds, until the necessary system checks have been
completed. This is necessary and ensures that the display
messages do not appear in the multifunction display.

occupied again. Whether the 45 indicator lamp remains lit
or goes out depends on how OCS classifies the occupant.
If the conditions are not fulfilled, the system is not operating
correctly.
X Visit a qualified specialist workshop immediately.
G WARNING
If the 45 indicator lamp remains lit with an adult occupant on the front-passenger seat
even after performing the above corrective steps, do not have any passenger use the front-
passenger seat until the system has been repaired.
