lock or is in position 0, indicator lamp

Warning
If the red + SRS warning lamp in the
instrument cluster and the 42
indicator lamp are lit at the same time, there
is a malfunction in the OCS. 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 Center.
Only have the seat repaired or replaced at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
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 rear of the front-
passenger seat. Otherwise, the OCS may
not be able to properly approximate the
occupant weight category.
R
Do not place objects under and/or around
the front-passenger seat.
R
Do not hang anything from or attach any
items to the seats.
R
Do not store any objects, such as books,
between the front-passenger seat and the
center console or the front-passenger door.
R
Do not move the front-passenger seat
backwards against rigid objects.
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
from the seat cushion as this may result in
the OCS being unable to correctly
approximate the occupant's weight
category.
R
Read and observe all warnings in this
chapter.

If an adult occupant is properly sitting on the
passenger seat and the OCS classifies the
occupant as an adult, the 42
indicator lamp illuminates and goes out again
after approximately 6 seconds.
If the seat is not occupied and the OCS
classifies the front-passenger seat as being
unoccupied, the 42 indicator
lamp will illuminate and not go out.
G
Warning!
If the 4 2 indicator lamp does
not illuminate, the system is not functioning.
You must contact an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center before seating any child on the
front passenger seat.
For more information, see "Problems with the
occupant classification system"
(Y page 47).
G
Warning
Never place anything between seat cushion
and child seat (e.g. a pillow), since it reduces
the effectiveness of the OCS. The underside
and rear side child restraint system must be
placed entirely on the seat cushion and the
backrest of the front-passenger seat
backrest.
