Possible causes/consequences and M Solutions
The OCS is malfunctioning.
X
Make sure there is nothing between the seat cushion and the
child seat.
X
Check the installation of the child restraint system.
X
Make sure that no objects are applying additional weight onto
the seat.
X
Make sure there are no objects applying additional force to the
seat. Head restraints that press against the roof or books that
are behind or trapped between the seat, for example, apply
additional force to the seat. The OCS senses such forces as
additional weight.
X
If the 42 indicator lamp does not illuminate, have
the OCS checked as soon as possible at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. Do not transport a child on the front-
passenger seat as long as the OCS is not functioning.
