Self-test BabySmart

without special
child seat installed
After turning the SmartKey in the starter
switch to position
1 or 2 or pressing the
KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button once or
twice, the
75
indicator lamp
located in the center console comes on for
approximately six seconds and then goes
out.
If the
75
indicator lamp should
not come on or is continuously lit, the sys-
tem is not functioning. You must see an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center before
seating any child on the passenger seat.
More information can be found in the
“Practical hints” section (
컄
page 344).
Warning!
G
The BabySmart
TM
air bag deactivation sys-
tem will ONLY work with a special child seat
designed to operate with it. It will not work
with child seats which are not BabySmart
TM
compatible.
Never place anything between seat cushion
and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it reduces
the effectiveness of the deactivation sys-
tem. The bottom of the child seat must
make full contact with the passenger seat
cushion. An incorrectly mounted child seat
could cause injuries to the child in case of an
accident, instead of protecting the child.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
installation of special child seats.
Warning!
G
When using a BabySmart
TM1
compatible
child seat on the front passenger seat, the
passenger front air bag will not deploy only
if the
75
indicator lamp remains
illuminated.
Please be sure to check the indicator every
time you use the special system child seat.
Should the light go out while the restraint is
installed, please check installation. If the
light remains out, do not use the
BabySmart
TM
restraint to transport children
on the front passenger seat until the system
has been repaired.
