Operation of automatic front-passenger
front airba gdeactivation :
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
; PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
The indicator lamps show you whether the co-
driver's fron tairbag is disabled or enabled.
X Press the Start/Stop button onceort wice or
turn the key to position 1or 2in the ignition
lock.
The system carries out aself-diagnosis.
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and PASSENGER
AIR BAG ON indicator lamps must light up simul- taneously for approximately six seconds.
The indicator lamps then show the status of the
co-driver's fron tairbag.
R PASSENGER AIR BAG ON is lit: the co-driver's
fron tairbag is enabled. If, in the case of an
accident, all deployment criteria are met, the
co-driver's fron tairbag is deployed.
R PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF is lit: the co-driv-
er's fron tairbag is disabled. It will then not be
deployed in the event of an accident.
If the status of the co-driver's fron tairbag
changes while the vehicle is in motion ,anairbag
display message appears in the instrument clus-
ter (Y page 263). When the co-driver's seat is
occupied, alway spay attention to the
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamps. Be aware of the status of the co-driver's fron tairbag both before and
during the journey.
If ap erson is occupying the co-driver's seat,
they must sit:
R with the seat belt fastened correctly
R in an almost upright position with their back
against the seat backrest
R with their feet restin gonthe floor, if possible If the co-driver does not observe this, the auto-
matic co-driver's fron tairbag deactivation sys-
tem may be influenced, for example if the co-
driver:
R transfers their weight by supportin gthem-
selves on avehicle armrest
R sits in such away that their weight is raised
from the seat cushion
This or similar behaviour can cause the co-driv-
er's fron tairbag to be deactivated when it
should not be. In this case, PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp lights up continuously. The
co-driver's fron tairbag is then not deployed in
an accident. G
WARNING
If the PASSENGER AIRBA GOFF indicator lamp
is lit, the front-passenger fron tairbag is disa-
bled. It will not be deployed in the event of an
acciden tand cannot perform its intended pro-
tective function .Aperson in the front-
passenger seat could then ,for example, come
into contact with the vehicle's interior, espe-
cially if the person is sitting too close to the
dashboard. This poses an increased risk of
injur yore ven fatal injury.
When the front-passenger seat is occupied,
alway smake sure that:
R the classification of the person in the front-
passenger seat is correct and that the front-
passenger fron tairbag is enabled or disa-
bled in accordance with the person in the
front-passenger seat.
R the front-passenger seat has been moved
back as far back as possible.
R the person is seated correctly.
Make sure, both before and during the jour-
ney, that the status of the front-passenger
fron tairbag is correct. G
WARNING
If you secure achild on the co-driver's seat in
ar earward-facing child restraint system and
the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
lights up, the co-driver's airbag could be
deployed in the event of an accident. The child could be struc kbythe airbag. There is an
increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal. 48
Occupant safetySafety
Page 52 of 385
In this case, always ensure that the co-driver's
airbag is disabled.T he PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF indicator lamp must light up.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
remains off and/or the PASSENGER AIR BAG
ON indicator light is lit, do not fit arearward-
facing child restraint system on the co-driver's
seat. Further information can be obtained under
"Problems with the automatic co-driver's front
airbag deactivation system" (Y page 52).G
WARNING
If you secure achild in aforward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenger seat
and you positio nthe front-passenger seat too
close to the dashboard, in the event of an
accident, the child could:
R come into contact with the vehicle's inte-
rior if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indi-
cator lamp is lit, for example
R be struck by the airbag if the PASSENGER
AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is lit
This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Alwaysm ove the front-passenger seat as far
back as possible and fullyr etract the seat
cushio nlength. Alwaysm ake sure that the
shoulder belt strap is correctly routed from
the vehicle belt outlet to the shoulder belt
guideont he child restraint system. The shoul-
der belt strap must be routed forward sand
downwards from the vehicle belt outlet. If
necessary ,adjust the vehicle belt outlet and
the front-passenger seat accordingly .Always
observe the information abouts uitable posi-
tioning of the child restraint system in this
Owner's Manualasw ell as the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation instruc-
tions.
If the automatic co-driver's front airbag deacti-
vation system detects that:
R the co-driver's seat is unoccupied, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
lights up after the system self-test and remains lit. This indicates that the co-driver's
front airbag is disabled.
R the co-driver's seat is occupie dbyachild in a
rearward-facing child restraint system, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
lights up after the system self-test and
remains lit. This indicates that the co-driver's front airbag is disabled.
But in the case of achild in arearward-facing
child restraint system, the PASSENGER AIR
BAG ON indicator lamp can be lit continuously
after the system self-test. This indicates that
the co-driver's front airbag is enabled. The
resultoft he classification is dependent on,
among other factors, the child restraint sys-
tem and the child's stature. It is recommen-
ded that you fit the child restraint system to a
suitable rear seat.
R the co-driver's seat is occupie dbyachild in a
forward-facing child restraint system, either
the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON or PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp lights up after the
system self-test depending on the resultof
the classification and remains lit. The resultof the classification is dependent on, among
other factors, the child restraint system and
the child's stature.
Move the co-driver's seat as far back as pos-
sible. Alwayso bserve the information on
"Child restraint systems on the co-driver's
seat" (Y page 59) and on "Suitable posi-
tioning of the child restraint system"
(Y page 60). Alternatively ,fit the child
restraint system on asuitable rear seat.
R the co-driver's seat is occupie dbyaperson of
smaller stature (e.g. ateenager or small
adult), either the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON or the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
lights up and remains lit after the system self- test depending on the resultoft he classifica-
tion.
- If the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator
lamp is lit, move the co-driver's seat as far
back as possible. Alternatively ,aperson of
smaller stature can sit on arear seat.
- If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp is lit, aperson of smaller stature
shouldn ot use the co-driver's seat.
R the co-driver's seat is occupie dbyanadult or
ap erson of astature corresponding to that of
an adult, the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indi-
cator lamp is lit continuously after the system
self-test. This indicates that the co-driver's
front airbag is enabled. Occupant safety

(Y page 55).
If the automatic co-driver's front airbag deacti-
vation system is malfunctioning, the red 6
restraint system warning lamp in the instrument cluster and the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indi-
cator lamp light up simultaneously. The co-driv-
er's front airbag is disabled in this case and does not deploy during an accident. Have the system
checked as soon as possible by qualifiedt ech-
nicians. Consul taMercedes-Benz Service
Centre. The co-driver's seat shouldo nly be
repaired at aMercedes-Benz Service Centre.
If the co-driver's seat, the seat cover or the seat cushio nisdamaged, have the necessary repair
work carried out at aMercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use achild restraint system
which has been tested and approved by
Mercedes-Benz in combination with the auto-
matic co-driver's front airbag deactivation sys-
tem.
System self-test G
DANGER
If both the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lampsdo
not light up during the system self-test, the
system is malfunctioning. The front-
passenger front airbag might be triggered
unintentionally or might not be triggered at all in the event of an accident with high deceler-
ation. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
In this case the front-passenger seat may notbe used.Don ot installachild restraint system
on the front-passenger seat. Have the auto-
matic front-passenger front airbag deactiva-
tion system checked and repaired immedi-
ately at aqualifieds pecialist workshop. G
WARNING
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp remains lit after the system self-test, the
front-passenger front airbag is disabled.Itw ill
not be deployed in the event of an accident. In
this case, the front-passenger front airbag cannot perform its intended protective func-
tion, e.g. when
aperson is seated in the front-
passenger seat.
That person could,f or example,come into
contact with the vehicle's interior, especially
if the person is sitting too close to the dash-
board.T his poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
When the front-passenger seat is occupied,
always ensure that:
R the classification of the person in the front-
passenger seat is correct and the front-
passenger front airbag is enabled or disa-
bled in accordance with the person in the
front-passenger seat.
R the person is seated properl ywithacor-
rectly fastened seat belt.
R the front-passenger seat has been moved
as far back as possible.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp remains lit when it shouldn ot, the front-
passenger seat may not be used.Don ot
install achild restraint system on the front-
passenger seat. Have the automatic front-
passenger front airbag deactivation system
checked and repaired immediately at aquali-
fied specialist workshop. G
WARNING
Objects betwee nthe seat surface and the
child restraint system could affect the func-
tion of the automatic front-passenger front
airbag deactivation system. This could result
in the front-passenger front airbag not func-
tioning as intended during an accident. This
poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Do not place any objects betwee nthe seat
surface and the child restraint system. The
entire base of the child restraint system must always rest on the seat cushio nofthe front-
passenger seat. The backrest of the forwards-
facing child restraint system must, as far as
possible, be resting on the backrest of the
