In order to ensure proper operation of the air
bag system and OCS:
R
Do not place more than 4.4 lb (2 kg) into
the parcel net on the back of the front

the front passenger seat.
R
Do not hang anything from or attach any
items to the seats.
R

Sit with the seat belt properly fastened in a
position that is as upright as possible with
your back against the seat backrest.
R
While seated, an occupant should not
position him/herself in such a way as to
cause the occupant’s weight to be lifted

illuminate and go out after approximately
6 seconds.
If the seat is not occupied and the system
classifies the front passenger seat as being
empty, the 42 indicator lamp
will illuminate and not go out.

If the 42 indicator lamp does not
illuminate, the system is not functioning. You
must contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz
