multifunction display in the instrument cluster ( ୴ page 26) for the following:
With the seat unoccupied and the ignition turned on,
ț the 75 indicator lamp on the center console should illuminate and re-
main illuminated, indicating that the OCS ( ୴ page 81) has deactivated the front
passenger front air bag.
ț the message Front passenger airbag activated See Operator’s Manual or
the message Front passenger airbag deactivated See Operator’s Manual
should not appear in the multifunction display at any time the seat is unoccu-
pied. Wait at last 60 seconds for the system to complete the necessary check
cycles and to make sure neither message appears in the multifunction display.
If above conditions are met, you can occupy the front passenger seat again. De-
pending on the front passenger classification sensed by the OCS (
୴ page 81), the
75 indicator lamp will remain illuminated or go out.
If above conditions are not met, the system is not working properly. Have the sys-
tem checked as soon as possible by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Warning!

If the 75 indicator lamp remains
illuminated 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.
