Malfunction and indicator lamp in the center
console
AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp
The ü indicator lamp will light up for approximately
6 seconds when you turn the electronic key in starter
switch to position 1 or 2.
It does not light up if there is a fault in the system.
The ü indicator lamp stays lit as long as a
Baby Smart
TM
child seat is properly installed on the
front passenger seat. It indicates that the front
passenger airbag is switched off.
See page 69 for BabySmart
TM
airbag and its deactivation
system.

is a trademark of Siemens Automotive Corp.
Warning!
The BabySmart
TM
airbag deactivation system 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 system.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
installation of special child seats.
The passenger front airbag will not deploy only if
the ü 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 front passenger seat until the system has
been repaired.
