If you have to place a child in a forward-

facing child restraint on the front passenger

seat, move the seat as far back as possible,

use the proper child restraint

recommended for the age, size and weight

of the child, and secure child restraint with

the vehicle's seat belt according to the

child seat manufacturer's instructions.

WARNING

When using a BabySmart™ compatible child

seat on the front passenger seat, the front

passenger front air bag will not deploy only if

the 4 / indicator lamp remains

illuminated.
Please be sure to check the 4 /

indicator lamp every time you use a

BabySmart™ compatible child seat on the

front passenger seat. Should the 4 /

indicator lamp go out while the restraint is

installed, please check installation. If the

4 / indicator lamp remains out, do not

use the BabySmart™ restraint to transport a

child on the front passenger seat until the

system has been repaired.

WARNING

The BabySmart™ air bag disabling system

ONLY works with specially adapted child

restraint systems. It does not work with child

restraint systems that are not compatible with

BabySmart™.
Never place anything between the seat

cushion and the child restraint system (e.g. a

cushion), as this reduces the effectiveness of

the BabySmart™ air bag deactivation system.

The underside of the child restraint system

must lie against the seat cushion of the front-

passenger seat. In the event of an accident,

an incorrectly installed child restraint system

could injure the child instead of offering

protection.

Observe the manufacturer's instructions

when installing special child restraint

systems.

Your vehicle is equipped with a BabySmart™

system.
Special child restraint systems which are

compatible with BabySmart™ are necessary

for deactivating the front-passenger air bag.

When the special BabySmart™-compatible

child restraint system is installed correctly

and is recognized by the sensor system in the

front-passenger seat, the front-passenger air

bag is deactivated. In this case, 45

indicator lamp : lights up. If you have any

questions regarding the special BabySmart™-

compatible child restraint systems, consult

an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
If the SmartKey has been removed from the

ignition lock or is in position 0, 45

indicator lamp : does not light up.
The system does not disable:

WARNING

Do not leave any switched on notebooks,

mobile phones, electronic tags (e.g. a ski

pass) or similar electronic devices on the

front-passenger seat. Signals emitted from

such devices can interfere with the

BabySmart™ air bag deactivation system.

Such interference can lead to the 45
