cated in the center console.
1 Indicator lamp
The 75 indicator lamp 1 will
be illuminated, except with the SmartKey
removed or in starter switch position 0
(
page 38).
Warning! G
If the 1 indicator lamp and the
75 indicator lamp are lit at the
same time, there is a malfunction in the
Occupant Classification System. The front
passenger front air bag will be deactivated
in this case.
In order to ensure proper operation of the
air bag system and OCS:
ț Have the system checked as soon as
possible by qualified technicians.
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
ț Do not place more than 4.4 lb (2 kg) into
the ruffled storage bag on the back of
the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the
OCS may not be able to properly approx-
imate the occupant weight category.
ț Do not place objects under and/or
around the front passenger seat.
ț Do not hang anything from or attach any
items to the seats.
ț Do not stuff objects such as books be-
tween the middle console and the front
passenger seat.
ț Do not move the front passenger seat
backwards against stiff objects.
ț Sit properly belted in a nearly upright
position with your back against the seat
backrest.
ț Do not lean on the armrests or lift your-
self from the seat by using the handle
over the door as this may cause the OCS
to be unable to correctly approximate
the occupant weight category.
ț Only have the seat repaired or replaced
by an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
ț Read and observe all warnings in this
chapter.
