PASSENGER AI RB AG indicator lamp
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp C and
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp D are
part of the Occupant Classification System
(OCS). The indicator lamp sd isplay the status of the
front-passenge rf ront air bag. R
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up for 60 sec-
onds, subsequently both indicator lamp sa re
off (PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and OFF): the
front-passenge rf ront air bag is abl etod eploy
in the event of an accident. R
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up: the front-
passenger front air bag is deactivated. It will
then not be deploye dint he event of an acci-
dent.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is

indicator lamp may be lit continuously or be off.
Depending on the person in the front-passenger
seat, the front-passenge rf ront air bag must
either be deactivated or enabled; see the fol-
lowing points. You must make sure of this both
before and during aj ourney.R
Children in ac hil dr estraint system:
whethe rt he front-passenge rf ront air bag is
enabled or deactivated depends on the instal-
led child restraint system, and the age and
size of the child .T herefore, be sure to observe
the notes on the "Occupant Classification
System (OCS)" ( Y
pag e4 5) and on "Chil-
dren in the vehicle" ( Y
pag e5 3). There you

mation on the correct seat position.
Seat belts
Introduction
Seat belts are the most effective means of
restricting the movement of vehicl eo ccupants
in the event of an accident or the vehicl er olling
over. This reduces the risk of vehicl eo ccupants
coming into contact with parts of the vehicle
interior or being ejected from the vehicle. Fur-
thermore, the seat belt help stok eep the vehicleOccupant safety 39

The system does not deactivate: R
the side impact air bag R
the headbag R
the Emergency Tensionin gD evices
Requirements To be classified correctly, the front passenger
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 gont he floor, if possible
If the front passenger does not observe these
conditions, OCS may produce af alse classifica-
tion, e.g. because the front passenger: R
transfers their weight by supporting them-
selves on av ehicle armrestR
sits in such aw ay that their weight is raised
from the seat cushion
If you install ac hild restraint system on the
front-passenger seat, be sure to observe the
correc tp ositionin goft he child restraint system.
Never place object su nder or behind the child
restraint system, e.g. ac ushion. The entir eb ase
of the child restraint system must alway sr est 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.
The child restraint system must not touch the
roof or be subjected to al oad by the head
restraint. Adjust the angle of the seat backrest
and the head restraint position accordingly.
Only then can OCS be guaranteed to function
correctly. Always observe the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer's installation and operating
instructions. Occupant Classification System opera-

lamp is lit, the front-passenge rf ront air bag is
disabled. It wil ln ot be deploye dint he event of
an accident and cannot perform its intended
protective function. Ap erso nint he front-
passenger seat coul dt hen, for example, come
into contact with the vehicle's interior, espe-
cially if the perso niss itting too close to the
dashboard. This pose sani ncreased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
When the front-passenge rs eat is occupied,
alway se nsure that:R
the classification of the perso nint he front-
passenger seat is correct and the front-
passenger front air bag is enabled or disa-
ble dina ccordance with the perso nint he

Make sure ,b oth before and during the jour-
ney, that the status of the front-passenger
front air bag is correct.
G WARNING
If you secure ac hild in ar earward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenge rs eat
and the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp is off, the front-passenge rf ront air bag
can deploy in the event of an accident. The
child coul dbes truck by the air bag .T his poses
an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Make sure that the front-passenge rf ront air
bag has been deactivated. The PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp must be lit.
NEVER use ar earward-facing child restraint
on as eat protected by an ACTIVE FRONT AIR-
BAG in front of it; DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY
to the child can occur.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
stays off, do not instal lar earward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenge rs eat.
You can find more information on OCS under
"Problems with the Occupant Classification Sys-
tem" ( Y
pag e4 9). G WARNING
If you secure ac hild in af orward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenge rs eat
and you position the front-passenge rs eat 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 air bag if the PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is off
This poses an increased risk of injury or even
fatal injury.
Move the front-passenge rs eat as far back as
possible .A lways make sure that the shoulder
bel ts trap is correctly routed from the vehicle
bel tg uide to the shoulde rb el tg uide on the
child restraint system. The shoulde rb el ts trap
must be routed forwards and downwards
from the vehicl eb el tg uide. Always observe
the child restraint system manufacturer's
installation instructions.
If OCS determines that: R
The front-passenge rs eat is unoccupied ,t he
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
lights up after the system self-test and
remains lit. This indicates that the front-
passenger front air bag is deactivated. R
The front-passenge rs eat is occupied by a
child of up to twelve months old, in as tandard
child restraint system, the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamp lights up after the
system self-test and remains lit. This indi-
cates that the front-passenge rf ront air bag is
deactivated.
But even in the case of at welve-month-old
child ,inas tandard child restraint system, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp can
go out after the system self-test. This indi-
cates that the front-passenge rf ront air bag is
activated. The result of the classification is
dependent on, among other factors, the child
restraint system and the child's stature. Make
sure that the conditions for ac orrect classi-
ficatio na re met. If the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF indicator lamp remains off, do not install
ac hild restraint system on the front-
pa ss
enger seat.Occupant safety 47

R
The front-passenger seat is occupied by a
person of smaller stature (e.g. at eenager or
small adult), the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp lights up and remains lit after
the system self-test depending on the result
of the classification or, alternatively, goes out. -
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp is off, move the front-passenger seat
as far back as possible. -
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp is lit, ap erson of smaller stature
should not use the front-passenger seat. R
The front-passenger seat is occupied by an
adult or ap erson of adult stature, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
goes out after the system self-test. This indi-
cates that the front-passenger front air bag is
activated.
If children are traveling in the vehicle, be sure to
observe the notes on "Children in the vehicle"
( Y
page 53).
When the Occupant Classification System
(OCS) is malfunctioning, the red u restraint
system warning lamp on the instrument cluster
and the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp light up simultaneously. The front-
passenger front air bag is deactivated in this
case and does not deploy during an accident.
Have the Occupant Classification System (OCS)
checked and repaired immediately at aq ualified
specialist workshop. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center for this purpose.
If the front-passenger seat, the seat cover or the
seat cushion are damaged, have the necessary
repair work carried out at aq ualified specialist
workshop. Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you use an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
for this purpose.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use seat accessories that
have been approved by Mercedes-Benz.
If the driver's air bag deploys, this does not
mean that the front-passenger front air bag will
also deploy. The Occupant Classification Sys-
tem (OCS) categorizes the occupant on the
front-passenger seat. Dependin gont hat result,
the front-passenger front air bag is either ena-
bled or deactivated. System self-test
G DANGER
If both the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamps do
not light up during the system self-test, the
system is malfunctioning. The front-
passenger front air bag 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 not
be used. Do not install ac hild restraint system
on the front-passenger seat. Have the Occu-
pant Classification System (OCS) checked
and repaired immediately at aq ualified spe-
cialist workshop.
G WARNING
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp remains lit after the system self-test, the
front-passenger front air bag is disabled. It will
not be deployed in the event of an accident .I n
this case, the front-passenger front air bag
cannot perform its intended protective func-
tion, e.g. when ap erson is seated in the front-
passenger seat.
That person could, for example, come into
contact with the vehicle's interior, especially
if the person is sittin gt oo close to the dash-
board. This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
When the front-passenger seat is occupied,
alway se nsure that: R
the classification of the person in the front-
passenger seat is correc ta nd the front-
passenger front air bag is enabled or disa-
bled in accordanc ew ith the person in the
