BabySmart TM air bag deactivation
system (Canada only)
1 59 indicator lamp
Special BabySmart TM compatible child
seats, designed for use with the
Mercedes-Benz system, are required for
use with the BabySmart
TM air bag deactiva-
tion system. Please contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center for in-
formation on availability. With the special
child seat properly installed, the front pas-
senger front air bag will not deploy.
The 59 indicator lamp locat-
ed in the center console will be illuminat-
ed, except with the SmartKey removed or
the starter switch in position 0.
Self-test BabySmart TM without special
child seat installed
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
59 indicator lamp
located in the center console comes on for
approximately 6 seconds and then goes
out.
If the 59 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 passenger seat.
More information can be found in the
“Practical hints” section (
୴ page 450).
i The system does not deactivate the side im-
pact air bag, the window curtain air bag and the
emergency tensioning device.
Warning!
G
The BabySmart TM air bag deactivation sys-
tem will ONLY work with a special child seat
designed to operate with it. It will not work
with child seats which are not BabySmart TM
compatible.
Never place anything between seat cushion
and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it reduces
the effectiveness of the deactivation sys-
tem. 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.
