Requirements
To be classifiedcorrectly ,the front passenger
mus tsit:
Rwith the seatb eltf astened correctly
Rin an almost upright position with theirb ack
against the seatb ackrest
Rwith theirf eetresting on the floor, if possible
If the front passenger doe snot observe these
conditions ,OCS may produce afalse classifica-
tion, e.g. because the front passenger:
Rtransfers theirw eightbys uppo rting them-
selves on avehicl earmrest
Rsits in such awaythat theirw eightisr aised
from the seatc ushion
If it is absolutely necessary to install achild
restraint system on the front-passenger seat, be
sure to observe the correct positioning of the
child restraint system. Neverp lace objects
under or behind the child restraint system, e.g. a
cushion. The entir ebaseoft he child restraint
system mus talway srestont he seatc ushionof
the front-passenger seat. The backrest of the
forward-facing child restraint system mus tlie as
fla tasp ossible against the backrest of the front-
passenger seat.
The child restraint system mus tnot touch the
rooforbes ubjecte dtoal oadbyt he head
restraint. Adjust the angle of the seatb ackrest
and the headr estraint position accordingly.
Only then can OCSbeg uaranteed to function
correctly .Alway sobserve the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer'si nstallationand o
perating

OperationofO ccupant Classification
System (OCS)
:PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
;PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp The indicator lamps inform yo
uwhethe rthe
front-passenger front ai rbag is deactivated or
enabled.
XPress the Start/Sto pbutton once or twice, or
turn the SmartKey to position 1or2 in the
ignition lock.
The system carrie soutself-diagnostics.
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and PASSENGER
AIR BAG ON indicator lamps mus tlight up simul-
taneously for approximately six seconds.
The indicator lamps display the statu softhe
front-passenger front ai rbag.
RPASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up for 60 sec-
onds ,sub sequently both indicator lamps are
off (PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and OFF):t he
front-passenger front ai rbag is able to deploy
in the event of an accident.
RPASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up :the front-
passenger front ai rbag is deactivated. It will
then not be deploye dinthe event of an acci-
dent.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is
off, only the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp shows the statu softhe front-passenger
front ai rbag.T he PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp may be li tcontinuously or be off.
If the statu softhe front-passenger front ai rbag
changes whil ethe vehicl eisinmotion, an ai rbag
display message appears in the instrument clus-
ter (
Ypage 200). Whent he front-passenger
seati soccupied, always pa yattention to the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indica tor l
amp. Be
aware of the statu softhe front-passenger front
ai rb ag both before and during the journey.
GWARNING
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp is lit, the front-passenger front ai rbag is
disabled. It will not be deploye dinthe event of
an accident and canno tperform its intended
protectiv efunction. Aperson in the front-
passenger seatc ould then, for example, come
into contact with the vehicle's interior, espe-
ciall yift he person is sitting too close to the
dashboard. Thisp oses an increased ris kof
injury or evenf atalinjury.
Whent he front-passenger seati soccupied,
always ensure that:
Rthe classification of the person in the front- passenger seati scorrect and the front-
48Occupan tsafety
Safety

passenger frontair bag is enabled or disa-
bled in accordance with the person in the
front-passenger seat
Rthe front-passenger seat has been moved
back as far back as possible.
Rthe person is seated correctly.
Make sure, both before and during the jour-
ney, that the status of the front-passenger
fronta ir bag is correct.
GWARNING
If you secure achild in arearward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenger seat
and the PASSENGER AIR BAGO FF indicator
lamp is off, the front-passenger fronta ir bag
can deploy in the event of an accident. The
child could be struck by the air bag. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Make sure that the front-passenger fronta ir
bag has been deactivated. The PASSENGER
AIR BAGO FF indicator lamp must be lit.
NEVER use arearward-facing child restraint
on aseat protected by an ACTIVE FRONT AIR-
BAGinf rontofit; DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY
to the child can occur.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAGO FF indicator lamp
stays off, do not install arearward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenger seat.
You can find more information on OCS under
"Problems with the Occupant Classification Sys-
tem" (
Ypage 51).
GWARNING
If you secure achild in aforward-facingc hild
restraint system on the front-passenger seat
and you position the front-passenger seat too close to the dashboard, in the event of an
accident, the child could:
Rcome int ocontact with the vehicle's inte-
rior if the PASSENGER AIR BAGO FF indi-
cator lamp is lit, for example
Rbe struck by the air bag if the PASSENGER
AIR BAGO FF indicator lamp is off
This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Always move the front-passenger seat as far
back as possible and fully retract the seat
cushion length. Always make sure that the
shoulder belt strap is correctly routed from
the vehicle belt sash guide to the shoulder
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 BAGO FF indicator lamp can
go out 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 a
person of smaller stature (e.g. ateenager or
small adult), the PASSENGER AIR BAGO FF
indicator lamp lights up and remains lit after
the system self-test dependin gonthe result
of the classification or, alternatively, goes out.
-If the PASSENGER AIR BAGO FF indicator
lamp is off, move the front-passenger seat
