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 an original smart
baby carrier to the passenger's seat.
