Such signal interference may cause the 4/ indicator lamp not to come on during self-test or be continuously lit, indicating that the system is not functioning. Safety and security G Warning! Special BabySmartTM compatible child seats, designed for use with the Mercedes-Benz system, are required for use with the BabySmartTM air bag deactivation system. Please contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for information on availability. With the special child seat installed properly, the front passenger front air bag will not deploy. The 4/ indicator lamp : will be illuminated, except with the SmartKey removed from the starter switch or with the starter switch in position 0. The system does not deactivate the window curtain air bag and the Emergency Tensioning Device (ETD). 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 off the BabySmartTM air bag deactivation system. The bottom of the child seat must make full contact with the front 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 BabySmart™ without special child seat installed After turning the SmartKey in the starter switch to position 1 or 2 the 4/ indicator lamp comes on for approximately 6 seconds and then goes out.
