Occupant safety
45
child restraint – both of which are instances
where the system suppresses deployment
of the passenger front air bag even though
the impact met the criteria and was of
sufficient severity to deploy the driver front
air bag
In order to ensure proper operation of the air
bag system and OCS:
RSit with the seat belt properly fastened in a
position that is as upright as possible with
your back against the seat backrest.
RWhile 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 bottom as this may result in
the OCS being unable to correctly
approximate the occupant’s weight
category.
Rthat the seat was occupied by a small
individual (such as a young teenager or a
small adult) or a child who weighs more
than the weight of a typical 12-month-old
child in a standard child restraint – both of
which are instances where the system may
suppress deployment of the passenger
front air bag even though the impact met
the criteria and was of sufficient severity to
deploy the driver front air bag
RRead and observe all warnings in this
chapter.
OCS Self-test
After turning the SmartKey in the starter
switch to position 1 or 2 or pressing the
KEYLESS-GO start/stop button once or
twice, the45 indicator lamp
illuminates. If an adult occupant is properly
sitting on the passenger seat and the system
classifies the occupant as an adult, the
45
indicator lamp will illuminate and
go out after approximately 6 seconds.
If the seat is not occupied and the system
classifies the passenger seat as being empty,
the45 indicator lamp will illuminate
and not go out.
45
indicator lamp: will be
illuminated, except with the SmartKey
removed from the starter switch or with the
starter switch in position 0.
G Warning!
G Warning!
If the45 indicator lamp does not
illuminate, the system is not functioning. You
must contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center before seating any child on the
passenger seat.
If the red SRS indicator lamp+ in the
instrument cluster and the45
indicator lamp are lit at the same time, there
is a malfunction in the OCS. The passenger
front air bag will be deactivated in this case.
Have the system checked by qualified
technicians as soon as possible. Contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
For more information, see the “Practical
hints” section (Y page 266).
G Warning!
Only have the seat repaired or replaced at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Never place anything between seat cushion
and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it reduces
the effectiveness of the OCS. The bottom and
back of the child seat must make full contact
