BabySmart TM1 airbag deactivation
system
Special BabySmart TM compatible child
seats, designed for use with the
Mercedes-Benz system and available at
any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center are
required for use with the BabySmart
TM air-
bag deactivation system. With the special
child seat properly installed, the passenger
front airbag will not deploy.
The PASS. AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp
located in the center console will be illumi-
nated, except with the SmartKey removed
or in starter switch position 0.
Self-test BabySmart TM without special
child seat installed
After turning the SmartKey in the starter
switch to position 1 or 2,
the PASS. AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp
located in the center console comes on for
approximately six seconds and then goes
out.
If the indicator lamp should not come on or
is continuously lit, the system is not func-
tioning. You must see an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center before seating any
child on the passenger seat.
For more information, see “Practical hints”
(
୴ page 279).
When the child restraint is not in use, re-
move it from the vehicle or secure it with the
seat belt to prevent the child restraint from
becoming a projectile in the event of an ac-
cident.
Do not leave children unattended in the ve-
hicle; even if the children are secured in a
child restraint system. Unsupervised chil-
dren in a child restraint system may use ve-
hicle equipment and may cause an accident
and/or serious personal injury.
