ignition lock
• on vehicles with KEYLESS-GO, press the
Start/Stop button once or twice
The indicator lamp goes out

If the indicator lamp does not
illuminate or is lit continuously, the system is
malfunctioning. Have the BabySmart™
system checked at an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center before transporting a child on
the front-passenger seat.

WARNING
Do not place powered-on laptops, mobile
phones, electronic tags such as those used in
skipasses or similar electronic devices on the

not functioning. The front-passenger front air
