Self-test BabySmart
TM
without special
child seat installed
After turning the SmartKey in the starter
switch to position 1 or 2, the
75 indicator lamp comes on for
approximately 6 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 au-
thorized Mercedes-Benz Center before
seating any child on the passenger seat.

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
TM
compatible child
seat on the passenger seat, the front pas-
senger air bag will not deploy only if the
75 indicator lamp remains illumi-
nated.
Please be sure to check the
75 indicator lamp every time you
use the special system child seat. Should
the
75 indicator lamp go out while
the restraint is installed, please check instal-
lation. If the
75 indicator lamp re-
mains out, do not use the BabySmart
TM
restraint to transport children on the pas-
senger seat until the system has been re-
paired.
