soon as possible. Consult an authorized

Mercedes-Benz Center. Only have the front-

passenger seat repaired at an authorized

Mercedes-Benz Center.

If the front-passenger seat, the seat cover or the

seat cushion are damaged, have the necessary

repair work carried out at an authorized

Mercedes-Benz Center.

For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-

mends that you only use seat accessories that

have been approved by Mercedes-Benz.

If the driver's air bag deploys, this does not

mean that the front-passenger front air bag will

also deploy. The Occupant Classification Sys-

tem (OCS) categorizes the occupant on the

front-passenger seat. Depending on the result,

the front-passenger air bag is activated or deac-

tivated.

System self-test

DANGER

If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator

lamp does not light up during the system self-

test, then the system is malfunctioning. The

front-passenger front air bag might be trig-

gered unintentionally or might not be trig-

gered at all in the event of an accident with

high deceleration. This poses an increased

risk of injury or even fatal injury.
In this case the front-passenger seat may not

be used. Do not install a child restraint system

on the front-passenger seat. Have the Occu-

pant Classification System (OCS) checked

and repaired immediately at a qualified spe-

cialist workshop.

WARNING

If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator

lamp remains lit after the system self-test, the

front-passenger front air bag is disabled. It will

not be deployed in the event of an accident. In

this case, the front-passenger front air bag

cannot perform its intended protective func-

tion, e.g. when a person is seated in the front-

passenger seat.
That person could, for example, come into

contact with the vehicle's interior, especially

if the person is sitting too close to the dash-

board. This poses an increased risk of injury or

even fatal injury.
When the front-passenger seat is occupied,

always ensure that:

the classification of the person in the front-

passenger seat is correct and the front-

passenger front air bag is enabled or disa-

bled in accordance with the person in the

front-passenger seat

the person is seated properly with a cor-

rectly fastened seatbelt

the front-passenger seat has been moved

as far back as possible

If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator

lamp remains lit when it should not, the front-

passenger seat may not be used. Do not

install a child restraint system on the front-

passenger seat. Have the Occupant Classifi-

cation System (OCS) checked and repaired

immediately at a qualified specialist work-

shop.

WARNING

Objects between the seat surface and the

child restraint system could affect OCS oper-

ation. This could result in the front-passenger

air bag not functioning as intended during an

accident. This poses an increased risk of

injury or even fatal injury.
Do not place any objects between the seat

surface and the child restraint system. The

entire base of the child restraint system must

always rest on the seat cushion of the front-

passenger seat. The backrest of the forward-

facing child restraint system must, as far as

possible, be resting on the backrest of the

front-passenger seat. Always comply with the

child restraint system manufacturer's instal-

lation instructions.

After the system self-test, the PASSENGER AIR

BAG OFF indicator lamp displays the status of

the front-passenger front air bag (

page 49).

For more information about the OCS, see "Prob-

lems with the Occupant Classification System"

(
