Warning!
TM
The BabySmart 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
Never place anything between seat cushion and
child seat (e.g. pillow), since it reduces the
effectiveness of the deactivation system.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 ar accident instead of protecting the child.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
installation of special child seats.
When using a BabySmart
on the front passenger seat, the front passenger
airbag will not deploy only if the 7 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
to transport children on the front passenger seat
until the system has been repaired.
