PASSENGER AI RB AG indicator lamp
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp C and
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp D are
part of the Occupant Classification System
(OCS). The indicator lamp sd isplay the status of the
front-passenge rf ront air bag. R
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up for 60 sec-
onds, subsequently both indicator lamp sa re
off (PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and OFF): the
front-passenge rf ront air bag is abl etod eploy
in the event of an accident. R
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up: the front-
passenger front air bag is deactivated. It will
then not be deploye dint he event of an acci-
dent.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is
off, only the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp shows the status of the front-passenger
front air bag .T he PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp may be lit continuously or be off.
Depending on the person in the front-passenger
seat, the front-passenge rf ront air bag must
either be deactivated or enabled; see the fol-
lowing points. You must make sure of this both
before and during aj ourney.R
Children in ac hil dr estraint system:
whethe rt he front-passenge rf ront air bag is
enabled or deactivated depends on the instal-
led child restraint system, and the age and
size of the child .T herefore, be sure to observe
the notes on the "Occupant Classification
System (OCS)" ( Y
pag e4 5) and on "Chil-
dren in the vehicle" ( Y
pag e5 3). There you
wil la ls of ind instructions on rearward and
forward-facing child restraint systems on the
front-passenge rs eat. R
All other persons: depending on the classi-
ficatio noft he person in the front-passenger
seat, the front-passenge rf ront air bag is ena-
bled or deactivated ( Y
pag e4 5). Be sure to
observe the notes on "Seat
belts“ ( Y
pag e3 9) and "Air bags"
( Y
pag e4 3) .T here you can als of ind infor-
mation on the correct seat position.
Seat belts
Introduction
Seat belts are the most effective means of
restricting the movement of vehicl eo ccupants
in the event of an accident or the vehicl er olling
over. This reduces the risk of vehicl eo ccupants
coming into contact with parts of the vehicle
interior or being ejected from the vehicle. Fur-
thermore, the seat belt help stok eep the vehicleOccupant safety 39
Safety Z

The system does not deactivate: R
the side impact air bag R
the headbag R
the Emergency Tensionin gD evices
Requirements 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 restin gont he floor, if possible
If the front passenger does not observe these
conditions, OCS may produce af alse classifica-
tion, e.g. because the front passenger: R
transfers their weight by supporting them-
selves on av ehicle armrestR
sits in such aw ay that their weight is raised
from the seat cushion
If you install ac hild restraint system on the
front-passenger seat, be sure to observe the
correc tp ositionin goft he child restraint system.
Never place object su nder or behind the child
restraint system, e.g. ac ushion. The entir eb ase
of the child restraint system must alway sr est on
the seat cushion of the front-passenger seat.
The backrest of the forward-facing child
restraint system must lie as flat as possible
against the backrest of the front-passenger
seat.
The child restraint system must not touch the
roof or be subjected to al oad by the head
restraint. Adjust the angle of the seat backrest
and the head restraint position accordingly.
Only then can OCS be guaranteed to function
correctly. Always observe the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer's installation and operating
instructions. Occupant Classification System opera-
tion (OCS)

PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp D
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
The indicator lamps inform you whether the
front-passenger front air bag is deactivated or
enabled. X
Press the Start/Stop button once or twice, or
turn the SmartKey to position G or H in the
ignition lock.
The system carries out self-diagnostics.
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and PASSENGER
AIR BAG ON indicator lamps must light up simul-
taneously for approximately six seconds.
The indicator lamps display the status of the
front-passenger front air bag. R
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up for 60 sec-
onds, subsequently both indicator lamps are
off (PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and OFF): the
front-passenger front air bag is able to deploy
in the event of an accident. R
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up: the front-
passenger front air bag is deactivated. It will
then not be deployed in the event of an acci-
dent.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is
off, only the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp shows the status of the front-passenger
front air bag. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp may be lit continuously or be off.
If the status of the front-passenger front air bag
changes while the vehicle is in motion ,ana ir bag
display message appears in the instrument clus-
ter ( Y
page 187). When the front-passenger
seat is occupied, alway sp ay 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 journey.46
