Special BabySmart
TM1
compatible child
seats, designed for use with the Mer-
cedes-Benz system and available at any
authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck
Center are required for use with the
BabySmart
TM
airbag deactivation system.
With the special child seat properly in-
stalled, the passenger front airbag will not
deploy.
The
7 indicator lamp located in the
center console will be illuminated, except
with the key removed or in the starter
switch position 0.
Infants and small children should never
share a seat belt with another occupant.
During an accident, they could be crushed
between the occupant and seat belt.
A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is
significantly increased if the child restraints
are not properly secured in the vehicle and
the child is not properly secured in the child
restraint.
Warning! G
Children too big for child restraint systems
must ride in back seats using regular seat
belts. Position shoulder belt across chest
and shoulder, not face or neck. A booster
seat may be necessary to achieve proper
belt positioning for children from 41 lbs. un-
til they reach a height where a lap/shoulder
belt fits properly without a booster.
When the child restraint is not in use, re-
move it from the vehicle or secure it with the
seat belt to prevent the child restraint from
becoming a projectile in the event of an ac-
cident.
Do not leave children unattended in the ve-
hicle, even if the children are secured in a
child restraint system. Unsupervised chil-
dren in a child restraint system may use ve-
hicle equipment and may cause serious
personal injury.
