Self-test BabySmart without special
child seat installed
After turning the SmartKey in the starter
switch to position 1 or 2, the
75 indicator lamp comes on for
approximately 6 seconds and then goes
out.
If the 75 indicator lamp should
not come on or is continuously lit, the sys-
tem is not functioning. You must see an au-
thorized Mercedes-Benz Center before
seating any child on the passenger seat.
For more information, see "Practical hints"
( page 367).

Warning!
TM
The BabySmart 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
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!
When using a BabySmart
seat on the passenger seat, the front pas-
senger air bag will not deploy only if the
TM
75 indicator lamp remains illumi-
nated.
Please be sure to check the
75 indicator lamp every time you
use the special system child seat. Should
the 75 indicator lamp go out while
the restraint is installed, please check instal-
lation. If the 75 indicator lamp re-
mains out, do not use the BabySmart
restraint to transport children on the pas-
senger seat until the system has been re-
paired.
