the multifunction display in the instrument cluster ( ୴ page 26) for the following:
With the seat unoccupied and the ignition turned on,
ț the 59 indicator lamp on the center console should illuminate and
remain illuminated, indicating that the OCS ( ୴ page 88) has deactivated the air
bag.
ț the message Front passenger airbag enabled see Operator’s Manual or the
message Front passenger airbag disabled see Operator’s Manual should
not appear in the multifunction display at any time the seat is unoccupied. 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.
Depending on the front passenger classification sensed by the OCS (
୴ page 88),
the 59 indicator lamp will remain illuminated or go out.
If above conditions are not met, the system is not working properly. Have the
system checked as soon as possible by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck
Center.

If the 59 indicator lamp re-
mains out even after performing the above
corrective steps, do not have any children
