Problems with the Occupant Classification System (OCS)
Be sure to observe the notes on "System self-test"(Ypage 51).
ProblemPossible causes/consequences andMSolutions
The PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamp
lights up and remains lit,
even though the front-
passenger seat is occu-
pied by an adult oraper-
son of astature corre-
sponding to that of an
adult.The classification of the person on the front-passenger seat is incor-
rect.
XMake sure the conditionsf orac orrect classification of the person
on the front-passenger seat are met (Ypage 49).
XIf the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp remains lit, the front-
passenger seat may not be used.
XHave OCS checked as soon as possible at an authorized Mercedes- Benz Center.
The PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamp
does not light up and/or
does not stay on.
The front-passenger seat
is:
Runoccupied
Roccupied with the
weight of achild up to
twelve months old in a
child restraint system
OCS is malfunctioning.
XMake sure there is nothin gbetween the seat cushion and the child
seat.
XMake sure that the entire base of the child restraint system rests on
the seat cushion of the front-passenger seat. The backrest of the
forward-facing child restraint system must lie as flat as possible
against the backrest of the front-passenger seat. If necessary,
adjust the position of the front-passenger seat.
XMake sure that the seat cushion length is fully retracted.
XWhen installing the child restraint system, make sure that the seat
belt is tight. Do not pull the seat belt tight using the front-passenger seat adjustment .This could result in the seat belt and the child
restraint system being pulled too tightly.
XCheck for correct installation of the child restraint system.
Make sure that the head restraint does not apply aload to the child
restraint system. If necessary, adjust the head restraint accord-
ingly.
XMake sure that no object sare applying additional weight onto the
seat.
XIf the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp remains off and/or
the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp lights up, do not install ac hild restraint system on the front-passenger seat. It is recom-
mended that you install the child restraint system on asuitable rear
seat.
XHave OCS checked as soon as possible at an authorized Mercedes- Benz Center.

General notes
With MOExtended tire s(tires with run fla tchar-

cle eve nifthere is atotal loss of pressure in one
or more tires. The affected tire mus tnot show
any clearl yvisible damage.
You can recognize MOExtended tire sbythe
MOExtended marking which appears on the
sidewal lofthe tire .You will find this marking
next to the tire size designation, the load-bear-
ing capacity and the speed index (
Ypage 330).
MOExtended tire smay only be used in conjunc-
tion with an active tire pressure loss warning
system or with an active tire pressure monitor.
If ap ressure loss warnin gmessage appears
in the multifunctio ndisplay:
Robserve the instructions in the display mes-
sages (Ypage 241).
Rcheck the tire for damage.
Rif driving on, observe the following notes.
The driving distance possible in run-flat mod eis
approximately 50 miles (80 km )whent he vehi-
cle is partiall ylad en. Whe nthe vehicl eisfully
laden it is approximately 19 miles (30 km). In addition to the vehicl
eload, the driving dis-
tance possible depends upon:
Rvehicl espeed
Rroa dcondition

may be reduce dbyextremedriving conditions
or maneuvers, or it can be increased through a
moderate style of driving.

Tire pressure not reached
If at ire pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has
not beena ttained after ten minutes:
XSwitch off the tire inflation compressor.
XUnscrew the filler hose from the valve of the
faulty tire.
Note that tire sealant may escap ewheny ou

XVery slowly drive forwards or reverse approx- imately 30 ft (10 m).
XPump up the tire again.
After amaximu moften minutes ,the tire pres-

GWARNING
If the required tire pressure is not reached
after the specified time, the tire is too badly
damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the
tire in this instance. Damaged tires and atire
pressure that is too low can significantly
impair the vehicle's braking and driving char-
acteristics. There is arisk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact aqualified

GWARNING
Damage dtires can cause tire inflation pres-

Check the tires regularly for signs of damage
and replace any damaged tires immediately.
M+S tires
GWARNING
M+S tires with atire tread depth of less than
ã in (4 mm) are not suitable for use in winter
and do not provid esufficient traction. There is
ar isk of an accident.
M+S tires with atread depth of less than ãin
(4 mm) must be replaced immediately.
At temperatures belo w45‡ (+7 †), use winter
tires or all-season tires. Bot htype soft ire are
identified by the M+S marking.
Only winter tires bearing the isnowflake
symbol in addition to the M+S marking provide
the best possibl egrip in wintry road conditions.
Only these tires wil lallow driving safety systems
such as ABS and ESP
®to function optimally in
