Safety and Security Occupant safety Warning! G Warning! G Warning! G The BabySmartTM1 air bag deactivation system will ONLY work with a special child seat designed to operate with it. It will not work with child seats which are not BabySmartTM compatible. Never place anything between seat cushion and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it reduces the effectiveness of the deactivation system. 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. 1 When using a BabySmartTM compatible child seat on the front passenger seat, the passenger front air bag will not deploy only if the 56 indicator lamp ( page 70) remains illuminated. Please be sure to check the 56 indicator lamp every time you use the special system child seat. Should the 56 indicator lamp go out while the restraint is installed, please check installation. If the 56 indicator lamp remains out, do not use the BabySmartTM restraint to transport children on the front passenger seat until the system has been repaired. Do not place powered-on laptops, cell phones and like electronic devices on the front passenger seat. Signals from such devices may interfere with the BabySmartTM system. Such signal interference may cause the 56 indicator lamp ( page 70) not to come on during self-test or be continuously lit, indicating that the system is not functioning.
