Operator's Manual display messages must not be shown in
the multifunction display. Wait for a period of at least
60 seconds until the necessary system checks have been
completed. This is necessary and ensures that the display
messages do not appear in the multifunction display.
If these conditions are fulfilled, the front-passenger seat can be
occupied again. Whether the 00730074indicator lamp remains lit
or goes out depends on how OCS classifies the occupant.
If the conditions are not fulfilled, the system is not operating
correctly.
