Prerequisites

To be classified correctly, the front passenger

must sit:

R

with the seat belt fastened correctly

R

in an almost upright position with their

back against the seat backrest

R

with their feet resting on the floor, if possi-

ble

If the front passenger does not observe these

conditions, OCS may produce a false classi-

fication, e.g. because the front passenger:

R

transfers their weight by supporting them-

selves on a vehicle armrest

R

sits in such a way that their weight is raised

from the seat cushion

If it is absolutely necessary to install a child

restraint system on the front-passenger seat,

be sure to observe the correct positioning of

the child restraint system. Never place

objects under or behind the child restraint

system, e.g. cushions. The entire base of the

child restraint system must always rest on the

seat cushion of the front-passenger seat. The

backrest of the forwards-facing child restraint

system must, as far as possible, be resting on

the backrest of the front-passenger seat.

The child restraint system must not touch the

roof or be put under strain by the head

restraint. Adjust the angle of the seat back-

rest and the head restraint position accord-

ingly.

Only then can OCS be guaranteed to function

correctly. Always observe the child restraint

system manufacturer's installation instruc-

tions.

Occupant Classification System opera-

tion (OCS)

The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp

shows you whether the front-passenger front

air bag is disabled.

X

Turn the SmartKey to position 1 or 2 in the

ignition lock, or press the Start/Stop but-

ton once or twice on vehicles with KEY-

LESS-GO.

The system carries out self-diagnostics.

The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp

must light up for approximately six seconds.

The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp

then displays the status of the front-

passenger front air bag. If the status of the

front-passenger front air bag changes while

the vehicle is in motion, an air bag display

message may appear in the instrument clus-

ter (Y page 251). When the front-passenger

seat is occupied, always pay attention to the

PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp. Be

aware of the status of the front-passenger

front air bag both before and during the jour-

ney.

If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator

lamp:

R

is lit: the front-passenger front air bag is

deactivated. It will then not be deployed in

the event of an accident.

R

does not light up: the front-passenger

front air bag is enabled. If, in the event of an

accident, all deployment criteria are met,

the front-passenger front air bag is

deployed.
