Passenger-side seat occupied recognition function - GF91.60-P-1100CA

MODEL 207.3/4 without CODE U10 (Front passenger seat with weight sensor) 

Function requirements, general 

IMPORTANT The status of circuit 15 is sent to the supplemental restraint system control unit (N2/10) by the electronic ignition lock control unit (N73) via chassis CAN (CAN E) (up to 31.5.13) or chassis CAN 1 (CAN E1) (as of 1.6.13).

Passenger-side seat occupied recognition, general 

The occupancy of the front passenger seat is recorded by the supplemental restraint system. On vehicles with code (U18) Automatic child seat recognition (ACSR) a fitted child seat is also recognized.

IMPORTANT The automatic child seat recognition function is only guaranteed to work with a child seat that has been approved and coded by Daimler AG. This child seat must be equipped with two transponders (resonators), which are located at the left and right in its base.

The passenger-side seat occupied recognition function includes the following subfunctions:

Function sequence for front passenger seat occupied recognition 

Without code (U18) Automatic child seat recognition (ACSR):

The front passenger seat occupied recognition is recorded by the front passenger seat occupied recognition (B41/1). Only the status "seat occupied" or "seat not occupied" can be detected. The supplemental restraint system control unit reads in the relevant signals of the front passenger seat seat occupancy recognition.

IMPORTANT The occupancy status of the front passenger seat has no influence on the triggering behavior of the supplemental restraint system. The occupancy status is only required for the seat belt reminder warning over the instrument cluster (A1).

With code (U18) Automatic child seat recognition (ACSR):

The front passenger seat occupancy as well as the child seat recognition are detected by the front passenger seat occupied and automatic child seat recognition (B48).

The following situations are defined:

The supplemental restraint system control unit reads in the relevant signals of the front passenger seat occupancy recognition and ACSR [AKSE] directly on vehicles up to 31.5.13. On vehicles as of 1.6.13, the supplemental restraint system control unit reads in the signals via the seat occupancy LIN (LIN E2).

Function sequence for issuing status and error messages (with code (U18) Automatic child seat recognition (ACSR [AKSE])) 

The output of status and fault messages includes the following subfunctions:

Function sequence for outputting status messages 

The status messages are output via the automatic child seat recognition warning lamp (S6/1e1) in the instrument panel switch group (S6/1) (up to 31.5.13) or via the automatic child seat recognition warning lamp (N72/1e1) (as of 1.6.13) in the upper control panel control unit (N72/1).

If a child seat is recognized, the request to switch on the automatic child seat recognition warning lamp is sent by the supplemental restraint system control unit via chassis CAN (up to 31.5.13) or via chassis CAN 1 (as of 1.6.13) to the front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1). The front SAM control unit actuates the automatic child seat recognition warning lamp via instrument panel LIN (LIN 1) accordingly.

Function sequence for outputting fault messages 

If the front passenger seat occupied and automatic child seat recognition function is defective or communication with the supplemental restraint system control unit is interrupted (e.g. plug not connected), the automatic child seat recognition warning lamp is also switched on. A fault code is also stored in the supplemental restraint system control unit and an appropriate message is shown on the multifunction display (A1p13) of the instrument cluster.

The request to output this message is sent by the supplemental restraint system control unit on vehicles up to 31.5.13 via chassis CAN or on vehicles as of 1.6.13 via chassis CAN 1, front SAM control unit and chassis CAN 2 (CAN E2) to the instrument cluster.

If the child seat is defective or improperly positioned (only one resonator detected), the supplemental restraint system indicator lamp (A1e15) in the instrument cluster and the automatic child seat recognition warning lamp are switched on.
