Problem Possible cause Suggested solution
59 The front passenger front
air bag off indicator lamp
does not illuminate
and/or does not remain
illuminated with the
weight of a typical
12-month-old child in a
standard child restraint or
less on the front passen-
ger seat. The system is malfunctioning. ̈ Make sure there is nothing between seat cushion
and child seat and check installation of the child
seat.
̈ Make sure no objects applying supplemental weight
onto the seat are present.
̈ Make sure no objects which apply forces to the seat
are present (e.g. objects such as books, briefcases
etc. lodged behind or around the seat, head
restraints pushing against roof etc.). The system
may recognize such forces as supplemental weight.
̈ If the front passenger front air bag off indicator lamp
remains out, have the system checked as soon as
possible by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light
Truck Center. Do not transport a child on the front
passenger seat until the system has been repaired.
̈ Also note any messages in the multifunction display
and follow corrective steps (
୴ page 401).
