BabySmart

TM

airbag deactivation system

Special BabySmart

TM

compatible child seats, designed

for use with the Mercedes-Benz system and available at
any authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center are
required for use with the BabySmart

TM

airbag

deactivation system. With the special child seat properly
installed, the passenger front airbag will not deploy.

The

ü indicator lamp located in the center console

will be illuminated, except with electronic key removed
or in starter switch position 0.

Self-test BabySmart

TM

without special child seat

installed

After turning electronic key in starter switch to
position 1 or 2, the

ü indicator lamp located in the

center console comes on for approximately 6 seconds
and then extinguishes.

If the indicator lamp should not come on or is
continuously lit, the system is not functioning. You must
see an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center
before seating any child on the front passenger seat. See
page 271 for notes on the

ü indicator lamp.

Warning!

The BabySmart

TM

airbag deactivation system 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 system. 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.

The passenger front airbag will not deploy only if
the

ü 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.
