WARNING

If the red 6 SRS warning lamp in the

instrument cluster and the 4 PASSENGER

AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp light up

simultaneously, the OCS is malfunctioning.

The front-passenger front air bag and the

front-passenger knee bag will be deactivated

in this case. Have the system checked as soon

as possible by qualified technicians. Consult

an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Only have the seat repaired at an authorized

Mercedes-Benz Center.
In order to ensure correct operation of the air

bag system and OCS:

R

sit with the seat belt fastened correctly and

in a position that is as upright as possible

with your back against the backrest.

R

while seated, an occupant should not

position themselves in such a way as to

cause their weight to be lifted from the seat

cushion as this may result in OCS being

unable to correctly assess the occupant's

weight category.

R

read and observe all warnings in this

section.

System self-test

The ^a indicator lamp illuminates

when you:

R

turn the SmartKey to position 1 or 2 in the

ignition lock

R

press the KEYLESS-GO Start/Stop button

once or twice

If an adult occupant is sitting properly on the

front-passenger seat and the OCS classifies

the occupant as an adult, the ^a

indicator lamp will illuminate and go out again

after approximately six seconds.

If the seat is not occupied and the OCS

classifies the front passenger seat as being

unoccupied, the ^a indicator lamp

will illuminate and not go out.

G

WARNING

If the 4 PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF

indicator lamp does not illuminate, the system

is not functioning. Consult an authorized

Mercedes-Benz Center before seating a child

on the front-passenger seat.

For more information, see "Problems with the

Occupant Classification System"

page 46).

WARNING

Never place anything between seat cushion

and child seat (e.g. a pillow), since it reduces

the effectiveness of the OCS. The underside

and rear side child restraint system must be

placed entirely on the seat cushion and the

backrest of the front-passenger seat

backrest.
If necessary, adjust the tilt of the passenger

seat backrest.
An incorrectly mounted child seat could cause

injuries to the child in case of an accident,

instead of increasing protection for the child.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for

installation of child restraint systems.
