Safety and Security
Occupant safety
The 7 indicator lamp located on the
glove box will be illuminated, 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 or pressing the
KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button once or
twice, the
7 indicator lamp located on
the glove box comes on for approximately
6 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.
i
The system does not deactivate the
head-thorax airbag and the emergency
tensioning device.
Warning!
G
The BabySmart TM airbag 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 front passenger seat, the pas-
senger front airbag will not deploy only if the
7 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 passenger seat until the system has
been repaired.
