Volkswagen Touran Owners Manual: Indicator lamp

Fig. 64 Warning lamp for front passenger front airbag switched off in dash panel

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings 

Lit up	Location	Possible cause	Correction
	Instrument cluster.	Fault in airbag and belt tensioner system.	Go to a qualified workshop and have the system checked immediately.
	Dash panel.	Fault in the airbag system.	Go to a qualified workshop and have the system checked immediately.
		Front passenger front airbag switched off.	Check whether the airbag should stay switched off.

Several warning and indicator lamps will light up briefly when the ignition is switched on while the vehicle runs functional checks. They will switch off after a few seconds.

If the indicator lamp PASSENGER AIR BAG is not permanently lit or if it lights up together with the indicator lamp in the instrument cluster when the front passenger front airbag is switched off, there may be a fault in the airbag system  .

DANGER

If there is a fault in the airbag system, the airbag may not trigger correctly, may not trigger at all or may trigger unexpectedly. This could cause severe or fatal injuries.

• The airbag system should be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.

• Never fit a child seat to the front passenger seat or remove a child seat that is already fitted! The front passenger front airbag may deploy during an accident in spite of the fault.

NOTICE

To avoid damage to your vehicle, always observe the indicator lamps and associated warning texts.
