Warning! G
The BabySmart
TM
airbag 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 cush-
ion and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it re-
duces the effectiveness of the 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.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
installation of special child seats.
Warning! G
When using a BabySmart
TM
compatible
child seat on the front passenger seat, the
passenger front airbag will not deploy only
if the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
lamp remains illuminated.
Please be sure to check the indicator every
time you use the special system child seat.
Should the light go out while the restraint
is installed, please check installation. If the
light remains out, do not use the
BabySmart
TM
restraint to transport chil-
dren on the front passenger seat until the
system has been repaired.
Warning! G
Do not place powered-on laptops, cell
phones and like electronic devices on the
front passenger seat. Signals from such de-
vices may interfere with the BabySmart
TM
system. Such signal interference may cause
the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
lamp not to come on during self-test or be
continuously lit, indicating that the system
is not functioning.
