Re uirements
To be classified correctly, the front passenger
must sit:
with the seat belt fastened correctly
R
in an almost upright position with their back
R
against the seat backrest
with their feet resting on the floor, if possible
R
If the front passenger does not observe these
conditions, OCS may produce a false classifica-
tion, e.g. because the front passenger:
transfers their weight by supporting them-
R
selves on a vehicle armrest
sits in such a way that their weight is raised
R
from the seat cushion
If you install a child restraint system on the
front-passenger seat, be sure to observe the
correct positioning of the child restraint system.
Never place ob ects under or behind the child
restraint system, e.g. a cushion. The entire base
of the child restraint system must always rest on
the seat cushion of the front-passenger seat.
The backrest of the forward-facing child
restraint system must lie as flat as possible
against the backrest of the front-passenger
seat.
The child restraint system must not touch the
roof or be sub ected to a load by the head
restraint. Ad ust the angle of the seat backrest
and the head restraint position accordingly.
Only then can OCS be guaranteed to function
correctly. Always observe the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer's installation and operating
instructions.

PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp

PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
;
The indicator lamps inform you whether the
front-passenger front air bag is deactivated or
enabled.
Press the Start/Stop button once or twice, or
X
turn the Smart ey to position 1 or 2 in the
ignition lock.
The system carries out self-diagnostics.
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and PASSENGER
AIR BAG ON indicator lamps must light up simul-
taneously for approximately six seconds.
The indicator lamps display the status of the
front-passenger front air bag.
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up for 60 sec-
R
onds, subsequently both indicator lamps are
off (PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and OFF): the
front-passenger front air bag is able to deploy
in the event of an accident.
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up: the front-
R
passenger front air bag is deactivated. It will
then not be deployed in the event of an acci-
dent.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is
off, only the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp shows the status of the front-passenger
front air bag. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp may be lit continuously or be off.
If the status of the front-passenger front air bag
changes while the vehicle is in motion, an air bag
display message appears in the instrument clus-
ter ( page 17 ). When the front-passenger
Y
seat is occupied, always pay attention to the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp. Be
aware of the status of the front-passenger front
air bag both before and during the ourney.

WARNING
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp is lit, the front-passenger front air bag is
disabled. It will not be deployed in the event of
an accident and cannot perform its intended
protective function. A person in the front-
passenger seat could then, for example, come
into contact with the vehicle's interior, espe-
cially if the person is sitting too close to the
dashboard. This poses an increased risk of
in ury or even fatal in ury.
When the front-passenger seat is occupied,
always ensure that:
the classification of the person in the front-
R
passenger seat is correct and the front-
