Child restraint systems*
Danger of injury!
If the child restraint system or
its fastenings have previously been
damaged or subjected to loads in an ac
cident, the child it is intended to pro
tect could sustain serious or even fatal
injuries as a result of another acci
dent, braking manoeuvres or abrupt
changes of direction.
You should therefore have restraint
systems and fastenings that have been
damaged or subjected to loads in an ac
cident checked without delay in a qual
ified specialist workshop, such as a
smart center, and have them replaced if
necessary.
Danger of injury!
If the airbag indicator light
does not come on when a baby carrier is
fitted to the passenger seat, the pas
senger airbag has not been deactivat
ed. If the passenger airbag has not been
deactivated, a child could sustain se
rious or even fatal injuries in the
event of the airbag on the passenger
side being triggered, particularly if
the child is in the immediate vicinity
of the passenger airbag at the time of
its activation.
The passenger airbag is only deacti
vated when you fit a special smart baby
carrier to the passenger seat.
Danger of injury!
For this reason, you should never
carry a child on the passenger seat in a
child restraint system that faces to the
rear if the passenger airbag has not
been deactivated, i.e. if the airbag in
dicator light is not lit.
Also observe the corresponding warn
ing sticker on the instrument panel.
If you have installed an original smart
baby carrier on the passenger seat and
the airbag indicator light does not
come on (restraint system not identi
fied), have the automatic restraint sys
tem recognition function checked
without delay by a qualified specialist
workshop, such as a smart center.
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.
