Airbag indicator light
Danger of injury!
If the passenger airbag is acti
vated, e.g. the airbag indicator light
does not illuminate, you must never se
cure a child on the passenger seat in a
rearwardfacing child restraint sys
tem.
Also observe the corresponding warn
ing sticker on the instrument panel.
If you have installed a special smart
baby carrier on the passenger seat and
the airbag indicator light does not il
luminate (restraint system not detect
ed), have the automatic restraint
system detection checked by a quali
fied specialist workshop which has the
necessary specialist knowledge and
tools to carry out the required work.
smart gmbh recommends that you visit a
smart center for this.
Until this problem has been rectified,
do not carry children in the car, as they
could sustain serious or even fatal in
juries in the event of an accident.
Danger of injury!
If the airbag indicator light
does not come on when a smart baby car
rier is fitted to the passenger seat, the
passenger airbag has not been deacti
vated. This can result in the child be
coming seriously to fatally injured in
the event of an accident when the pas
senger airbag is triggered, especially
if the child is in the direct vicinity of
the passenger airbag at the time the
airbag is triggered.
The passenger airbag is only deacti
vated when you fit an original smart
baby carrier to the passenger's seat.
