Display message Possible cause/ consequence Possible solution
Monitor the 56 indicator lamp on the center console (୴ page 31) and
the multifunction display in the instrument cluster (
୴ page 28) for the following:
With the seat unoccupied and the ignition turned on,
ț the 56 indicator lamp on the center console should illuminate and
remain illuminated, indicating that the OCS (
୴ page 72) has deactivated the
air bag.
ț the message
Front Passenger Airbag Enabled See Operator’s Manual
or
the message
Front Passenger Airbag Disabled See Operator’s Manual
should not appear in the multifunction display at any time the seat is unoc-
cupied. Wait at least 60 seconds for the system to complete the necessary
check cycles and to make sure neither message appears in the multifunc-
tion display.
If above conditions are met, you can occupy the front passenger seat again. De-
pending on the front passenger classification sensed by the OCS (
୴ page 72),
the 56 indicator lamp will remain illuminated or go out.
If above conditions are not met, the system is not working properly. Have the
system checked as soon as possible at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Warning! G
If the 56 indicator lamp remains
out even after performing the above correc-
tive steps, do not have any children 12 years
old and under and other small individuals
use the front passenger seat until the sys-
tem has been repaired.
