Occupant safety
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 air bag deactivation system.
With the special child seat properly
installed, the passenger front air bag will
not deploy.
The 56 indicator lamp 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,
the 56 indicator lamp comes on
for approximately 6 seconds and then
goes out.
If the 56 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.
For more information, see “Practical hints”
section (
୴ page 335).
i The system does not deactivate the
emergency tensioning device.
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.
