The 75 indicator lamp locat-
ed in the center console will be illuminat-
ed, except with the SmartKey removed or
in starter switch position 0.
Self-test BabySmart
TM
without special
child seat installed (Canada only)
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 75 indicator lamp
located in the center console comes on for
approximately 6 seconds and then goes
out.
If the 75 indicator lamp
should not come on or is continuously lit,
the system is not functioning. You must
see an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
before seating any child on the passenger
seat.
More information can be found in the
“Practical hints” section (
୴ page 355).
i
The system does not deactivate the side im-
pact air bag, the window curtain air bag and 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.
Warning! G
When using a BabySmart
TM
compatible child
seat on the front passenger seat, the front
passenger front air bag will not deploy only
if the 75 indicator lamp re-
mains illuminated.
Please be sure to check the indicator every
time you use the special system child seat.
Should the indicator lamp go out while the
restraint is installed, please check installa-
tion. If the indicator lamp remains out, do
not use the BabySmart
TM
restraint to trans-
port children on the front passenger seat un-
til the system has been repaired.
