an adult occupant is properly sitting on the
passenger seat and the system classifies the
occupant as an adult, the
04
indicator lamp will 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
04
indicator lamp
will illuminate and not go out.
G
Warning!
If the
04

illuminate, the system is not functioning. You
must contact an authorized F-CELL Service
Center before seating any child on the front
passenger seat.
G
Warning!
Never place anything between seat cushion
and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it reduces
the effectiveness of the OCS. The bottom and

with the passenger seat cushion and
backrest.
If necessary, adjust the tilt of the passenger
seat backrest.
