After turning key in steering lock to

cated in the instrument cluster comes on
for approximately 6 seconds, extinguishes,
then blinks once.
If the indicator lamp should not come on or
is continuously lit, the system is not func-
tioning. You must see an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center before
seating any child on the front passenger
seat.

Warning!
TM
The BabySmart
airbag 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
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.
TM
When using a BabySmart
compatible
child seat on the front passenger seat, the
front passenger airbag will not deploy only if
the
indicator lamp remains illuminat-
7
ed.
Please be sure to check the indicator every
G
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
TM
TM
BabySmart
restraint to transport children
on the passenger seat until the system has
been repaired.
Warning!
Do not place powered-on laptops, cell
phones and like electronic devices on the
passenger seat. Signals from such devices
may interfere with the BabySmart
Such signal interference may cause the
indicator lamp not to come on during
7
self-test or be continuously lit, indicating
that the system is not functioning.
