If an adult occupant is properly sitting on the front passenger seat and the system senses the occupant as being an adult, the 59 indicator lamp will illuminate and go out after approximately 6 seconds. If the seat is not occupied and the system senses the front passenger seat as being empty, the 59 indicator lamp will illuminate and not go out. Warning! Warning! G If the = indicator lamp and the 59 indicator lamp are lit at the same time, there is a malfunction in the Occupant Classification System. The front passenger front air bag will be deactivated in this case. In order to ensure proper operation of the air bag system and OCS: Have the system checked as soon as possible by qualified technicians. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Do not place more than 4.4 lbs (2 kg) into the ruffled storage bag on the back of the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the OCS may not be able to properly approximate the occupant weight category. Do not place objects under and/or around the front passenger seat. Do not hang anything from or attach any items to the seats. Do not stuff objects such as books between the middle console and the front passenger seat. Do not move the front passenger seat backwards against stiff objects. Sit properly belted in a position that is as upright as possible with your back against the seat backrest. Do not lean on the armrests or lift yourself from 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. Only have the seat repaired or replaced by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Read and observe all warnings in this chapter. G If the 59 indicator lamp should not illuminate, the system is not functioning. You must see an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center before seating any child on the front passenger seat. 51
