Problems with the air bag deactivation system

The 45
indicator lamp is on
continuously.

WARNING
If the 45 indicator lamp illuminates and remains illuminated when the weight of a typical
adult or someone larger than a small individual has been detected on the passenger seat, do not
allow any occupant to use the passenger seat until the system has been repaired.
Problem
The 45
indicator lamp does not
light up and/or stay on
when a BabySmart™-
compatible child
restraint system is
installed on the front-
passenger seat.
NECK-PRO head restraints
Important safety notes
The NECK-PRO head restraints increase
protection to the driver's and the front
passenger's head and neck. The NECK-PRO
head restraints on the driver's and front-
passenger seats are moved forwards and
upwards in the event of a rear-end collision of
a certain severity. This provides better head
support.
Possible causes/consequences and M Solutions
A special BabySmart™-compatible child restraint system is
mounted on the front-passenger seat.
The front-passenger air bag is therefore disabled.
There is no BabySmart™-compatible child restraint system
mounted on the front-passenger seat. The BabySmart™ system is
malfunctioning.

G
WARNING
Do not secure any objects (e.g. coat hangers)
on the NECK-PRO head restraints. Otherwise,
the NECK-PRO head restraints may not
function properly, or in the event of a rear-end
collision may not be able offer the level of
protection they are designed to provide.
G

Head restraint covers prevent the NECK-PRO
head restraints from triggering correctly.
