Video tutorial

In this guide, we will see the information that will allow us to understand how the airbag system of the Mercedes Classe A works. In this type of vehicle, the passenger airbag is activated and deactivated automatically, based on the presence or absence of the front passenger; when the passenger seat is empty, the "airbag off" warning will appear on the dashboard (under the controls for the four arrows), as shown in the video.

Therefore, in the presence of the passenger, the warning light will automatically turn off, indicating the activation of the front passenger airbag!

To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake.
