Occupant safety
The Occupant Classification System (OCS)
automatically turns the front passenger
front airbag on or off based on the clas-
sified occupant weight category deter-
mined by weight sensor readings from
the front passenger seat.
i The system does not deactivate the front
passenger side impact airbag, the window
curtain airbag and the emergency tensioning
device.
Occupants must sit properly belted in a
position that is as upright as possible
with their back against the seat backrest
and feet on the floor to be correctly clas-
sified. If the occupant’s weight is trans-
ferred to another object in the vehicle
(e.g. by leaning on armrests), the OCS
may not be able to properly approximate
the occupant’s weight category.
Furthermore, the occupant weight may
appear to increase or decrease due to ob-
jects hanging on the seat, other passen-
gers pushing on the seat, objects lodged
underneath the seat or stuffed between
seat and middle console or between seat
and door or due to objects applying pres-
sure on the back of the seat. Always
make sure that the seat has clearance in
all directions at all times.
i If your seat, including your trim cover and
cushion needs to be serviced in any way, take
the vehicle to your authorized Maybach
Studio.
Only seat accessories approved by Maybach
may be used.
Both driver and the front passenger
should always use the PASSENGER
AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp as an indica-
tion of whether or not the front passen-
ger is properly positioned.
Occupant Classification System
Warning! G
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
lamp illuminates when an adult or some-
one larger than a small individual is in the
front passenger seat, have the front pas-
senger re-position himself or herself in the
seat until the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF in-
dicator lamp goes out, or check whether
objects are caught under or around the
seat.
More information about airbag display
messages (컄 page 369).
In the event of a collision, the airbag con-
trol unit will not allow front passenger
front airbag deployment when the OCS
classified the front passenger seat occu-
pant as being up to or less than the weight
of a typical 12-month-old child in a stan-
dard child restraint or if the front passen-
ger seat is sensed as being empty.
When the OCS senses that the front pas-
senger seat occupant is classified as being
up to or less than the weight of a typical
12-month-old child in a standard child re-
straint, the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indi-
cator lamp will illuminate when the engine
is started and remain illuminated, indicat-
ing that the front passenger front airbag is
deactivated.
When the OCS senses that the front pas-
senger seat is classified as being empty, the
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp
will illuminate when the engine is started
and remain illuminated, indicating that
the front passenger front airbag is deacti-
vated.
