Occupant safety
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
or press the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop
button once.
for about 4 seconds when you start the
engine by turning the key or pressing
the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button.
i
The warning lamp remains lit if the key
is turned to position 2 and left there or
if the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button
is pressed twice. 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.
More information can be found in the
"Practical hints" section ( page 278).
