Warning! G
If the 1 indicator lamp and the
59 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. Have the system checked as
soon as possible by qualified technicians.
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light
Truck Center.
Only have the seat repaired or replaced by
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck
Center.
In order to ensure proper operation of the
air bag system and OCS:
ț Do not place more than 4.4 lbs (2 kg)
into the parcel net 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 position that is
as upright as possible with your back
against the seat backrest.
ț While seated, an occupant should not
position him/herself in such a way as to
cause the occupant’s weight to be lifted
from the seat bottom as this may result
in the OCS to be unable to correctly
approximate the occupant’s weight
category.
ț Read and observe all warnings in this
chapter.
