Safety and Security Occupant safety BabySmartTM air bag deactivation system (Canada only) The 75 indicator lamp located in the center console will be illuminated, except with the SmartKey removed or in starter switch position 0. Warning! G i The system does not deactivate the side impact air bag, the window curtain air bag and the emergency tensioning device. The BabySmartTM 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. Self-test BabySmartTM without special child seat installed (Canada only) After turning the SmartKey in the starter switch to position 1 or 2 or pressing the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button once or twice, the 75 indicator lamp located in the center console comes on for approximately 6 seconds and then goes out. If the 75 indicator lamp should not come on or is continuously lit, the system is not functioning. You must see an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center before seating any child on the passenger seat. More information can be found in the "Practical hints" section ( page 395). 1 75 indicator lamp Special BabySmartTM compatible child seats, designed for use with the Mercedes-Benz system, are required for use with the BabySmartTM air bag deactivation system.
