G
The BabySmart
TM1
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 cushion
and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it reduces
the effectiveness of the deactivation sys-
tem. 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.

TM is a trademark of Siemens
Automotive Corp.
Warning!
G
When using a BabySmart
TM compatible
child seat on the passenger seat, the pas-
senger front airbag will not deploy only if the
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp
(
page 75) remains illuminated.
Please be sure to check the PASSENGER
AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp every time you
use the special system child seat. Should
the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp
go out while the restraint is installed, please
check installation. If the PASSENGER AIR-
BAG OFF indicator lamp remains out, do not
use the BabySmart
TM restraint to transport
children on the passenger seat until the sys-
tem 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
(
page 75) not to come on during self-test
or be continuously lit, indicating that the
system is not functioning.

A driver’s attention to the road must always
be his/her primary focus when driving. For
your safety and the safety of others, we rec-
ommend that you pull over to a safe location
and stop before placing or taking a tele-
phone call. If you choose to use the tele-
phone while driving, please use the
hands-free device and only use the tele-
phone when weather, road, and traffic con-
ditions permit.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from
using a cellular telephone while driving a ve-
hicle.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet
(approximately 14 m) every second.

steering wheel repeatedly until you see
the
TEL
menu in the left display.

1Signal strength
This standby message indicates that your
telephone is ready for use and you can op-
erate it using the control system.You may carry out the following functions:
Never operate radio transmitters equipped
with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e. with-
out being connected to an external antenna)
from inside the vehicle while the engine is
running. Doing so could lead to a malfunc-
tion of the vehicle’s electronic system, pos-
sibly resulting in an accident and/or
personal injury.
