Safety and Security Occupant safety Self-test Occupant Classification System After turning the SmartKey in the starter switch to position 1 or 2 or pressing the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button once or twice ( page 366), the 59 indicator lamp 1 located in the dashboard illuminates. 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! For more information, see the "Practical hints" section ( page 620). Warning! 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. While seated, an occupant should not position him/herself in such a way as to cause the occupant's weight to be lifted from the seat bottom as this may result in the OCS being unable to correctly approximate the occupant's weight category. Do not lift yourself from the seat as this may cause the OCS to be unable to correctly approximate the occupant weight category. Read and observe all warnings in this chapter. G Never place anything between seat cushion (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. G If the 59 indicator lamp should not illuminate, the system is not functioning. You must contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center before seating any child on the front passenger seat. 52
