the seat. Head restraints that press against the roof or books
that are behind or trapped between the seat, for example, apply
force to the seat. OCS senses such forces as additional weight.
X If the42 indicator lamp does not illuminate, have
the OCS checked as soon as possible at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. Do not transport a child on the front-
passenger seat until the OCS has been repaired.
X Read and observe the additional display messages in the
multifunction display (Y page 231).
