The 1 warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up:
for about 4 seconds when you turn the
key in the starter switch to position 1.
for about 4 seconds when you start the
engine by turning the key.

The warning lamp remains lit if the key
is turned to position 2 and left there.
The warning lamp will go out when you
start the engine.
The warning lamp goes out shortly after
you start the engine. This shows that the
restraint systems are operational.
A malfunction in the system has been de-
tected if the 1 warning lamp:
fails to extinguish after approximately
4 seconds.
does not come on at all.
comes on after the engine was started
or while driving.
For safety reasons, we strongly recom-
mend that you visit an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center immediately to
have the system checked.

"Practical hints" section ( page 253).
