acting on the seat may make the system sense supplemental
weight.

complete the necessary check cycles and to make sure neither
message appears in the multifunction display.
If above conditions are met, you can occupy the passenger seat
again. Depending on the passenger classification sensed by the
OCS, the 4 5 indicator lamp will remain illuminated or go
out.
If above conditions are not met, the system is not working
properly. Have the system checked at an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center as soon as possible.
