senger are not activated.

Most child seats are detected by the
system. This particularly applies to

child seats that were required by NHTSA at
the time of manufacture of the vehicle. After
installing a child seat, check that the indica-
tor lamp for the front passenger airbags
comes on. It indicates that the child seat has
been detected and that the front passenger
airbags are deactivated.

The indicator lamp does not come on as long
as a person of sufficient size and in a correct
sitting position is detected on the seat.
The front and side airbags for the front pas-
senger are activated.

The indicator lamp does not come on if the
seat is empty.
The front and side airbags for the front pas-
senger are not activated.

Operational readiness of airbag system

As of radio readiness, page

, the warning

lamp comes on briefly to indicate that the entire
airbag system and the belt tensioners are oper-
ational.

Airbag system malfunction

The warning lamp does not come on when
radio readiness or the ignition is switched
on.

have it checked without delay; otherwise,

there is the risk that the system will not function
as intended even if a severe accident occurs.
