Safety notes
Self-test BabySmartTM without special
child seat installed
The use of seat belts and infant and child
restraint systems is required by law in all 50
states, the District of Columbia, the U.S.
territories and all Canadian provinces.
Even where this is not the case, all vehicle
occupants should have their seat belts
fastened whenever the vehicle is in motion.
For information on infants and children
traveling with you in the vehicle and restraint
systems for infants and children, see
“Children in the vehicle” (Y page 66).
G Warning!
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
passenger seat cushion. An incorrectly
mounted child seat could cause injuries to
the child in case of an accident, instead of
protecting the child.
After turning the SmartKey in the starter
switch to position 1 or 2 or pressing the
KEYLESS-GO start/stop button once or
twice, the59 indicator lamp
comes on for approximately 6 seconds and
then goes out.
If the59 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 (Y page 306).
G Warning!
Always fasten your seat belt before driving
off. Always make sure all of your
passengers are properly restrained. You
and your passengers should always wear
seat belts.
G Warning!
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
installation of special child seats.
Do not place powered-on laptops, mobile
phones, electronic tags such as those used
in ski passes and like electronic devices on
the front passenger seat. Signals from such
devices may interfere with the
BabySmartTM air bag deactivation system.
Failure to wear and properly fasten and
position your seat belt greatly increases
your risk of injuries and their likely severity
in an accident.
If you are ever in an accident, your injuries
can be considerably more severe without
your seat belt properly buckled. Without
Such signal interference may cause the
