Safety and Security Occupant safety The 59 indicator lamp is located in the center console. Warning! G 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 to be unable to correctly approximate the occupant's weight category. Read and observe all warnings in this chapter. If the 1 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. Have the system checked as soon as possible by qualified technicians. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center. 1 59 indicator lamp The 59 indicator lamp 1 will be illuminated, except with the SmartKey removed from the starter switch or with the starter switch in position 0 ( page 39). Only have the seat repaired or replaced by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center. In order to ensure proper operation of the air bag system and OCS: Do not place more than 4.4 lbs (2 kg) into the parcel net 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. 81
