In this brief guide, we will see the instructions regarding the operation of the airbag safety system in the Mercedes GLS, specifically for the front passenger airbag. The airbags activate and deactivate automatically based on the presence of passengers (you will see the airbag off indicator at the bottom of the dashboard if no passenger is present).

If a child seat is installed in the front seat, make sure the "airbag off" light is on, indicating that it is deactivated; if a person is present, check that the airbags are active.
