A airbag light come on indicating that the passenger air bag is off then after few miles suddenly a massage in the dashboard saying "airbag now enabled please see driver manual" i took the car to mb service, they couldn't find any code for problems. They ask me to videotape the messages and the lights when come on. I just did today. Will see what they will do with it. It's sound really dangerous to drive with passenger with his airbag disabled.
