WARNING

If the red SRS 6 indicator lamp in the

instrument cluster and the 42

indicator lamp are lit at the same time, there

is a malfunction in the OCS. The front

passenger front air bag will be deactivated in

this case. Have the system checked by

qualified technicians as soon as possible.

Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz

Center.
Only have the seat repaired or replaced at an

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

bag system and OCS:

R

Sit with the seat belt properly fastened in a

position that is as upright as possible with

your back against the seat backrest.

R

When seated, a passenger should not

position him/herself in such a way as to

cause the passenger's weight to be lifted

from the seat cushion as this may result in

the OCS being unable to correctly

approximate the passenger's weight

category.

R

Read and observe all warnings in this

chapter.

System self-test

The 42 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

42 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 42 indicator

lamp will illuminate and not go out.

G

WARNING

If the 4 2 indicator lamp does

not illuminate, the system is not functioning.

You must contact an authorized Mercedes-

Benz Center before seating any child on the

front passenger seat.

For more information, see "Problems with the

Occupant Classification System"

(

Y

page 54).

G

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.
