Self-test BabySmartTM without special child seat installed After turning the SmartKey in the starter switch to position 1 or 2, the 56 indicator lamp comes on for approximately 6 seconds and then goes out. If the 56 indicator lamp should not come on or is continuously lit, the system is not functioning. You must see an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center before seating any child on the front passenger seat. For more information, see "Practical hints" section ( page 337). Warning! G 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. i The system does not deactivate the emergency tensioning device. 82
