At ag lance

regular intervalswhile the engine is running.
Therefore, malfunctions can be detected in
good time.
The 6 restraint system warning lamp in the
instrument cluster lights up when the ignitio nis
switched on. It goes out no later than afew sec-
onds after the vehicl eisstarted. The compo-
nents of the restraint system are in operational
readiness.
Am alfunction has occurred if the 6restraint
system warning lamp:
Rdoes not light up after the ignitio nisswitched
on
Rdoes not go out after afew seconds with the
engine running
Rlights up again while the engine is running
GWARNING
If restraint system is malfunctioning, restraint
system components may be triggeredu nin-
tentionall yormight not be triggeredata ll in
the event of an accident with ahigh rate of
vehicl edeceleration. This can affect the Emer-
gency Tensioning Device or air bag ,for exam-
ple. This poses an increase drisk of injury or
even fatal injury.
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired in aqualified specialist workshop as
soon as possible.
PASSENGER AI RBAG indicator lamp
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp :and
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp ;are
part of the Occupant Classification System
(OCS). The indicator lamp
sdisplay the status of the
front-passenge rfront air bag.
RPASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up: the front-
passenger front air bag is enabled. If, in the
event of an accident, all deployment criteria
are met, the front-passenge rfront air bag is
deployed.
RPASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up: the front-
passenger front air bag is deactivated. It will
then not be deploye dinthe event of an acci-
dent.
Depending on the person in the front-passenger
seat, the front-passenge rfront air bag must
either be deactivated or enabled; see the fol-
lowing points. You must make sure of this both
before and during ajourney.
RChildren in achildr estraint system:
whethe rthe front-passenge rfront air bag is
enabled or deactivated depends on the instal-
led child restraint system, and the age and
size of the child .Therefore, be sure to observe
the notes on the "Occupant Classification
System (OCS)" (
Ypag e49) and on "Chil-
dren in the vehicle" (Ypag e57). There you
wil lalsof ind instructions on rearward and
forward-facing child restraint systems on the
front-passenge rseat.
RAll other persons: depending on the classi-
ficatio nofthe person in the front-passenger
seat, the front-passenge rfront air bag is ena-
bled or deactivated (
Ypag e49). Be sure to
observe the notes on "Seat
belts“ (
Ypag e42) and "Air bags"
(Ypag e46). There you can als ofind infor-
mation on the correct seat position.
Seat belts
Introduction
Seat belts are the most effective means of
restricting the movement of vehicl eoccupants
in the event of an accident or the vehicl erolling
over. This reduces the risk of vehicl eoccupants
coming into contact with parts of the vehicle
interior or being ejected from the vehicle. Fur-
thermore, the seat belt help stokeep the vehicle
occupant in the best position in relation to the
air bag.
42Occupant safety
Safety

belt guide on the child restraint system. The
shoulder belt strap must be routed forwards
and downwards from the vehicle belt sash
guide. If necessary, adjust the vehicle belt
sash guide and the front-passenger seat
accordingly. Always observe the child
restraint system manufacturer's installation
instructions.
If OCS determines that:
Rthe front-passenger seat is unoccupied, the
PASSENGER AIR BAGO FF indicator lamp
lights up after the system self-test and
remains lit. This indicates that the front-
passenger fronta ir bag is deactivated.
Rthe front-passenger seat is occupied by a
child of up to twelve months old, in astandard
child restraint system, the PASSENGER AIR
BAGO FF indicator lamp lights up after the
system self-test and remains lit. This indi-
cates that the front-passenger fronta ir bag is
deactivated.
But even in the case of atwelve-month-old
child, in astandard child restraint system, the
PASSENGER AIR BAGONc an light up perma-
nently after the system self-test. This indi-
cates that the front-passenger fronta ir bag is
activated. The result of the classification is
dependen ton, among other factors, the child
restraint system and the child's stature. It is
recommended that you install the child
restraint system on asuitable rear seat.
Rthe front-passenger seat is occupied by aper-
son of smaller stature (e.g. ateenager or
small adult), either the PASSENGER AIR BAG
ON or PASSENGER AIR BAGO FF indicator
lamp lights up and remains lit after the system
self-test dependin gonthe result of the clas-
sification.
-If the PASSENGER AIR BAGONi ndicator
lamp lights up, move the front-passenger
seat as far back as possible. Alternatively, a
person of smaller stature can sit on arear
seat.
-If the PASSENGER AIR BAGO FF indicator
lamp is lit, aperson of smaller stature
should not use the front-passenger seat.
Rthe front-passenger seat is occupied by an
adult or aperson of adult stature, the
PASSENGER AIR BAGONi ndicator lamp
lights up after the system self-test and remains lit. This indicates that the front-
passenger fronta
ir bag is activated.
If children are traveling in the vehicle, be sure to
observe the notes on "Children in the vehicle"
(
Ypage 57).
When OCS is malfunctioning, the red 6
restraint system warning lamp in the instrument
cluster and the PASSENGER AIR BAGO FF indi-
cator lamp light up simultaneously. The front-
passenger fronta ir bag is deactivated in this
case and does not deploy during an accident.
Have the system checked by qualified techni-
cians as soon as possible. Consult an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center .The front-passenger
seat should only be repaired at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
If the front-passenger seat, the seat cover or the seat cushion is damaged, have the necessary
repair work carried out at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
For safety reasons ,Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use seat accessories that
have been approved by Mercedes-Benz.
If the driver'sa ir bag deploys, this does not
mean that the front-passenger fronta ir bag will
also deploy. The Occupant Classification Sys-
tem (OCS) categorizes the occupant in the front-
passenger seat. Depending on that result, the
front-passenger fronta ir bag is either enabled or
deactivated.
System self-test
GDANGER
If both the PASSENGER AIR BAGO FF and
PASSENGER AIR BAGONi ndicator lamps do
not light up during the system self-test, the
system is malfunctioning. The front-
passenger fronta ir bag might be triggered
