with the weight of a standard appropriate
child restrain
tonthe front-passenger seat.
R Ac hild in a rear-facing child restraint on the
front-passenger seat will be seriously
injured or even killed if the front-passenger
front air bag inflates in a collision which
could occur under some circumstances,
even with the air bag technology installed
in your vehicle. The only means to eliminate
this risk completely is never to place a child
in a rear-facing child restraint in the front-
passenger seat. We therefore strongly
recommend that you always place a child
in a rear-facing child restraint on the rear
seat.
R If you install a rear-facing child restraint on
the front-passenger seat, make sure the
00170016 indicator lamp is
illuminated, indicating that the front-
passenger front air bag is deactivated.
Should the 00170016 indicator lamp
not illuminate or go out while the restraint
is installed, please check installation.
Periodically check the 00170016
indicator lamp while driving to make sure
the 00170016 indicator lamp is
illuminated. If the 00170016indicator
lamp goes out or remains out, do not
transport a child on the front-passenger
seat until the system has been repaired.
Ac hild in a rear-facing child restraint on the
front-passenger seat will be seriously
injured or even killed if the front-passenger
front air bag inflates.
R If you place a child in a forward-facing child
restraint on the front-passenger seat:
- move the seat as far back as possible
- use the proper child restraint
recommended for the age, size and
weight of the child
- secure child restraint with the vehicle's
seat belt according to the child seat
manufacturer's instructions
R For children larger than a typical 12-month-
old child, the front-passenger front air bag
can be activated or deactivated. If the driver's air bag deploys, this does not
mean that the front-passenger front air bag
will also deploy.
The OCS may have detected that the seat:
R
is either empty or occupied by a person
with a weight up to that of a typical twelve-
month-old child seated in astandard child
restraint
R is occupied by a small individual, such as a
young teenager or a small adult
R is occupied by a child in a child restraint
system, whose weight is greate rthan that
of a typical twelve-month-old child.
These are examples of when the OCS
deactivates the front-passenger front air bag.
Deactivation takes place although the
collision fulfills the criteria for deploying the
driver's air bag. If the SmartKey has been removed from the
ignition lock or is in position
0,
00170016 indicator lamp0002does not
light up. G
WARNING
If the red SRS 001Aindicator lamp in the
instrument cluster and the 00170016
indicator lamp are lit at the same time, there
is a malfunction in the OCS. The front
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.
Only have the seat repaired or replaced at an
authorized Mercedes-Ben zCenter. 56
Occupant safetySafety

In order to ensure proper operation of the air
bag system and OCS:
R Sit with the seat belt properly fastened in a
positio nthat is as upright as possible with
your back against the seat backrest.
R When seated, a passenger should not
position him/herself in such a way as to
cause the passenger's weight to be lifted
from the seat cushion as this may result in
the OCS being unable to correctly
approximate the passenger's weight
category.
R Read and observe all warnings in this
chapter.
System self-test The
00170016 indicator lamp
illuminates when you:
R turn the SmartKey to position 1or 2in the
ignition lock
R press the KEYLESS-GO Start/Stop button
once or twice
If an adulto ccupant is sitting properly on the
front-passenger sea tand the OC Sclassifies
the occupant as an adult, the
00170016 indicator lamp will illuminate
and go out again after approximately six
seconds.
If the seat is not occupied and the OCS
classifies the front passenger seat as being
unoccupied, the 00170016indicator
lamp will illuminate and not go out. G
WARNING
If the 00170016indicator lamp does
not illuminate, the system is not functioning.
You must contac tanauthorized Mercedes-
Benz Center before seating any child on the
fron tpassenger seat.
For more information, see "Problems with the
Occupan tClassification System"
(Y page 58). G
WARNING
Neve rplace anything betwee nseat cushion
and child seat (e.g. a pillow), since it reduces
the effectiveness of the OCS. The underside
and rear side child restraint system must be
placed entirely on the seat cushion and the
backrest of the front-passenger seat
backrest.
If necessary, adjust the tilt of the passenger
seat backrest.
An incorrectly mounted child seat could cause
injuries to the child in case of an accident,
instead of increasing protection for the child.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
installation of child restraint systems. Occupant safety
