R Sit properly belted in a position that is
as upright as possible with your back
against the seat backrest.
R Do not lean on the armrests or lift
yoursel ffrom the seat by using the handle
over the door as this may cause the OCS to
be unable to correctly approximate the
occupant weight category.
R Only have the seat repaired or replaced
by an authorized electric drive smart
center.
R Read and observe all warnings in this
chapter.
Self-test Occupant Classification
System After turning the key in the starter switch
to position 1or 2, the 00090007
indicator lamp located in the center
console illuminates. If an adult occupant
is properly sitting on the passenger seat
and the system senses the occupant as being
an adult, the 00090007indicator
lamp will illuminate and go out after
approximately 4 seconds.
If the seat is not occupied and the system
senses the passenger seat as being empty,
the 00090007indicator lamp will
illuminate and not go out. G
WARNING
If the 00090007indicator lamp does
not illuminate immediately after
switching on the drive system, the system
is not functioning. You must contact an
authorized electric drive smart center
before seating any child on the passenger
seat.
More information can be found in the
“Practical hints” section (Y page 168). G
WARNING
Never place anything between seat cushion
and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it
reduces the effectiveness of the Occupant
Classification System. The bottom of the
child seat must make full contact with the
passenger seat cushion. 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 seats. Children in the vehicle
If an infant or child is traveling with you
in the vehicle:
X Secure the child using an infant or child
restraint appropriate to the age and size
of the child.
X Make sure the infant or child is properly
secured at all times while the vehicle is
in motion. G
WARNING
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in achild
restraint system. The children could
R injure themselves on parts of the vehicle
R be seriously or fatally injured through
excessive exposure to extreme heat or
cold
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight. The child restraint
system’s metal parts, for example, could
become very hot, and the child could be
burned on these parts.
If children open a door, they could
R injure other persons
R get out of the vehicle and injure
themselves or be injured by following
traffic 40
Occupant safety>> Safety.
