Why? If the passenger side is occupied the airbag is on and the other way around.

Well for starters your photo is taken from the wrong side of the media module, the light is displayed on the same side regardless of LHD or RHD

Are you talking about the circled icon in this picture? If yes, then that is not an airbag icon but a ventilation icon. Check your manual for the climate controls..

Have it checked under warranty. One thing to check control module might have been incorrectly installed which could result in a kinked pressure hose when the seat is moved towards the rearmost and lowest position.

Just my $.02.

No one is in the passenger seat and the light is on - indicating no one is in the passenger seat!

Hope this helps

You should perhaps be thankful! I find this design very annoying. No-one is the passenger (left hand, in my case) seat most of the time, and yet I've got a bloody great orange warning light. I thought it was a fault for a while after getting the car. Then I realise it's "normal"...

Most likely the same person who put three clocks, one analog and two digital on the dash, and also the same person who put a "menu" button in the dash that has no menu .

So true! He/she also decided that showing a "journey duration" on the sat nav was unimportant as it's really easy to subtract current time from ETA in your head whilst driving.

I think dealer should be able to turn of/off that light. Should be something related to meet some kind of legislation. I have a C-class('16) and E-class('19) in México, both of them the airbag light is always off. No worries, you should be thankful

If your car is same like mine . The airbag light is always off , then I think it should be set by MB . I hope it is normal , not the functioning problem
