Child restraint systems*
Danger of injury!
If the child restraint system or
its fastenings have previously been
damaged or subjected to loads in an ac
cident, the child it is intended to pro
tect could sustain serious or even fatal
injuries as a result of another acci
dent, braking manoeuvres or abrupt
changes of direction.
You should therefore have restraint
systems and fastenings that have been
damaged or subjected to loads in an ac
cident checked without delay in a qual
ified specialist workshop, such as a
smart center, and have them replaced if
necessary.
132 Child friendly
Danger of injury!
If the airbag indicator light
does not come on when a baby carrier is
fitted to the passenger seat, the pas
senger airbag has not been deactivat
ed. If the passenger airbag has not been
deactivated, a child could sustain se
rious or even fatal injuries in the
event of the airbag on the passenger
side being triggered, particularly if
the child is in the immediate vicinity
of the passenger airbag at the time of
its activation.
The passenger airbag is only deacti
vated when you fit a special smart baby
carrier to the passenger seat.
Danger of injury!
For this reason, you should never
carry a child on the passenger seat in a
child restraint system that faces to the
rear if the passenger airbag has not
been deactivated, i.e. if the airbag in
dicator light is not lit.
Also observe the corresponding warn
ing sticker on the instrument panel.
If you have installed an original smart
baby carrier on the passenger seat and
the airbag indicator light does not
come on (restraint system not identi
fied), have the automatic restraint sys
tem recognition function checked
without delay by a qualified specialist
workshop, such as a smart center.
Until this problem has been rectified,
do not carry children in the car, as they
could sustain serious or even fatal in
juries in the event of an accident.
