Occupant safety
Self-test Occupant Classification
System
After turning the SmartKey in the starter
switch to position 1 or 2, the
56 indicator lamp 1 located in
the center console illuminates. If an adult
occupant is properly sitting on the front
passenger seat and the system senses the
occupant as being an adult, the
56 indicator lamp will illuminate
and go out after approximately six sec-
onds.
If the seat is not occupied and the system
senses the front passenger seat as being
empty, the
56 indicator lamp will
illuminate and not go out.
For more information, see “Lamp in center
console” (
୴ page 345).
Installation of infant and child restraint

chorages for a top tether strap at each of
the rear seating positions.
1 Anchorage rings
̈ Release rear seat backrest
(
୴ page 251).
̈ Fold rear seat backrest slightly for-
ward.
̈ Guide tether strap between head
restraint and top of the seat back.
Warning!
G
If the 56 indicator lamp should not
illuminate, the system is not functioning.
You must see an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center before seating any child on the front
passenger seat.
Warning!
G
Never place anything between seat cushion
and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it reduces
the effectiveness of the Occupant Classifi-
cation System. The bottom of the child seat
must make full contact with the passenger
seat cushion. An incorrectly mounted child
seat could cause injuries to the child in case
of an accident, instead of increasing protec-
tion for the child.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
installation of child seats.
