system is installed, check the anchorages
of the restraint system. Periodically check
the 42 indicator lamp while
driving to make sure the 42
indicator lamp is illuminated. If the
42 indicator lamp goes out or
remains out, you may only carry a child on
the front-passenger seat once the system
has been repaired.
A child in a rearward-facing child restraint
system on the front-passenger seat can be
seriously injured or even killed if the front-
passenger front air bag is deployed.
When securing a child in a front-facing child
R
restraint system on the front-passenger
seat, you must:
move the front-passenger seat as far
-
back as possible
use a child restraint system that is
-
suitable for the age, size and weight of
the child
observe the manufacturer's installation
-
instructions in order to install and secure
the child restraint system correctly.

WARNING
When using a BabySmart™-compatible child
restraint system on the front-passenger seat,
the front-passenger front air bag is only
disabled if the 42 indicator lamp
is illuminated.
Check the 42 indicator lamp
repeatedly, every time you use a
BabySmart™-compatible child restraint
system on the front-passenger seat. Should
the 42 indicator lamp not
illuminate or go out while the restraint is
installed, please check installation. If the
42 indicator lamp remains out,
do not use the BabySmart™ child restraint
system to carry a child on the front-passenger
seat until the system has been repaired.

WARNING
The BabySmart™ air bag disabling system
ONLY works with specially adapted child
restraint systems. It does not work with child
restraint systems that are not compatible with
BabySmart™.
Never place anything between the seat
cushion and the child restraint system (e.g. a
cushion), as this reduces the effectiveness of
the BabySmart™ air bag deactivation system.
The underside of the child restraint system
must lie against the seat cushion of the front-
passenger seat. In the event of an accident,
an incorrectly installed child restraint system
could injure the child instead of offering
protection.
Observe the manufacturer's instructions
when installing special child restraint
systems.
Special child restraint systems which are
compatible with BabySmart™ are necessary
for deactivating the front-passenger front air
bag. When the special child restraint system
which is compatible with BabySmart™ is
installed correctly and is recognized by the
sensor system in the front-passenger seat,
the front-passenger front air bag is
deactivated. In this case, the
42: indicator lamp
illuminates. If you have any questions
regarding the special child restraint systems
which are compatible with BabySmart™,
consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
If the SmartKey has been removed from the
ignition lock or is in position 0, indicator lamp
42: does not light up.
