Safety and Security Occupant safety The 5/ indicator lamp is located in the upper part of the center console, between the center air vents. Warning! G If the 1 indicator lamp and the 5/ indicator lamp are lit at the same time, there is a malfunction in the Occupant Classification System. The 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. Sit properly belted in a nearly upright position 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.
