Protection of the environment

General notes

Environmental note

Daimler's declared policy is one of comprehensive environmental protection.

Our objectives are to use the natural resources which form the basis of our existence on this planet sparingly and in a manner which takes the requirements of both nature and humanity into consideration.

You too can help to protect the environment by operating your vehicle in an environmentally-responsible manner.

Energy consumption and the rate of engine, transmission, brake and tire wear depend on the following factors:

operating conditions of your vehicle

your personal driving style

You can influence both factors. Therefore, please bear the following in mind:

Operating conditions:

observe the correct tire pressure.

avoid carrying unnecessary weight.

remove the roof rack once you no longer need it.

a regularly serviced vehicle will contribute to environmental protection. You should therefore adhere to the service intervals.

all maintenance work should be carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

Personal driving style:

drive carefully and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front.

avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and braking.

monitor the vehicle's energy consumption.

High-voltage battery

Environmental note

Have a defective high-voltage battery disposed of in an environmentally-responsible manner. Contact a specialist workshop that is qualified to work on smart electric drive vehicles and has the necessary specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the work required. smart recommends that you use a smart Center for this purpose.

Environmental concerns and recommendations

Wherever the Operator's Manual requires you to dispose of materials, first try to regenerate or re-use them. Observe the relevant environmental rules and regulations when disposing of materials. In this way you will help to protect the environment.

>> Introduction.

operating efficiency of the restraint systems.

Have aftermarket accessories installed at a qualified specialist workshop.

Only smart genuine parts or parts of the same quality may be used. In addition, only approved wheels, tires and accessories for the particular type of vehicle may be used.

Always specify the vehicle identification number (VIN) when ordering smart genuine parts.

Using parts, tires, wheels or safety-relevant equipment not approved by smart could jeopardize the operational safety of the vehicle. Safety-relevant systems, such as the brake system, may malfunction.

Genuine smart parts are subject to strict quality control. Each part has been specially developed, manufactured or selected for smart vehicles and fine-tuned for them. Therefore, only genuine smart parts should be used.

More than 300,000 different genuine smart parts are available for smart models.

All smart centers maintain a supply of genuine smart parts for necessary service and repair work. In addition, strategically located parts delivery centers provide quick and reliable parts service.

Warranty for the smart Audio-System and smart Media-System

The smart sales organization provides a warranty for a period of 24 months without a kilometer limit for the smart Audio-System and the smart Media-System.

The warranty issuer is the respective sales organization in the country in which the accessory or replacement part was purchased (see list in the Maintenance Booklet).

Vehicle equipment

This Operator's Manual describes all models and all standard and optional equipment available for the vehicle at the time of publication of this Operator's Manual. Countryspecific differences are possible. Please note that the vehicle equipment may differ from

certain descriptions and illustrations provided in this manual. This also applies to safety-relevant systems and functions.

If you do not have the prescribed service/ maintenance work or any required repairs carried out, this can result in malfunctions or system failures. There is a risk of an accident.

Always have the prescribed service/maintenance work as well as any required repairs carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

WARNING

If you operate information systems and communication equipment integrated in the vehicle when driving, you may be distracted from the traffic situation. You could also lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.

Only operate this equipment when the traffic situation permits. If you are not sure that this is possible, park the vehicle paying attention to traffic conditions and operate the equipment when the vehicle is stationary.

WARNING

Modifications to electronic components, their software as well as wiring can impair their function and/or the function of other networked components. In particular, systems relevant to safety could also be affected. As a result, these may no longer function as intended and/or jeopardize the operating safety of the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an accident and injury.

>> Introduction.

Never tamper with the wiring as well as electronic components or their software. You should have all work to electrical and electronic equipment carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving when operating information systems and communication devices integrated into the vehicle:

There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:

the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high curb or an unpaved road

you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a curb, speed bumps or a pothole in the road

a heavy object strikes the underbody or parts of the chassis

In situations like this, the body, the underbody, chassis parts, wheels or tires could be damaged without the damage being visible. Components damaged in this way can unexpectedly fail or, in the case of an accident, no longer withstand the strain they are designed to.

In such situations, have the vehicle checked and repaired immediately at a qualified specialist workshop. If on continuing your journey you notice that driving safety is impaired, pull over and stop the vehicle immediately, paying attention to road and traffic conditions. In such cases, consult a qualified specialist workshop.

Data stored in the vehicle

Information from electronic control units

Your vehicle is equipped with electronic control units. Some of them are necessary for your vehicle to function safely, some provide support when driving (driver assistance systems). In addition, your vehicle offers comfort or entertainment functions which are also made possible with electronic control units.

Electronic control units contain data memories which can permanently or temporarily store technical information on vehicle condition, component stress, service requirements as well as technical incidents and malfunctions.

>> Introduction.

This information generally documents the condition of a component, a module, a system or the surroundings, for example:

operating states of system components (e.g. fluid levels, battery status, tire pressure)

status messages of the vehicle or its individual components (e.g. wheel revolutions/speed, deceleration in movement, lateral acceleration, display of seat belts fastened)

malfunctions and defects in key system components (e.g. the lights and brakes)

information on incidents in which the vehicle is damaged

reactions of the systems in specific driving situations (e.g. deployment of an air bag, use of stability control systems)

ambient conditions (e. g. temperature, rain sensor)

In addition to the provision of control unit functions, this data serves to detect and rectify malfunctions as well as to optimize vehicle functions by the manufacturer. Most of this data is volatile and is only processed in the vehicle itself. Only a small proportion of the data is stored in event or error memories.

When service work is done on your vehicle, the technical data from the vehicle can be read out by service network staff or third parties. Service work is, for example, repair work, maintenance, warranty claims and quality assurance measures. The data is read out using the legally prescribed OBD (European On-board Diagnostics) connector in the vehicle. The respective workshop of service network or third parties collect, process and use the data. The data documents technical states of the vehicle, help in finding errors and in improving quality and are transferred to the manufacturer if necessary. In addition, the manufacturer is subject to product liability. For this purpose, the manufacturer requires technical data from vehicles.

Malfunction memories in the

vehicle can be reset by a service outlet during repairs or service work.

Depending on the equipm

ent selected, you can enter data in comfort and infotainment functions of the vehicle.

This includes, for example:

multimedia data, such as music, films or photos for playback in an integrated multimedia system

address book data for use in an integrated hands-free system or an integrated navigation system

navigation destinations entered

data on the use of Internet services

This data can be saved locally in the vehicle or it is located on a device which you have connected to the vehicle. As long as this data is saved in the vehicle, you can delete it at any time. Transfer of this data to third parties only occurs at your request, especially as part of online services according to the settings you have selected.

You can save comfort settings/individualization in the vehicle and change them at any time.

Depending on the equipment, these include, for example:

settings of the seat and steering wheel positions

chassis and climate control settings

individualization such as interior lighting

As long as your vehicle is suitably equipped, you can connect your mobile phone or another mobile end device with the vehicle. You can operate these devices via the control elements integrated in the vehicle. Images and sound from the mobile phone can played back via the multimedia system. At the same time, certain information is transferred to your mobile phone.

This includes, depending on the type of integration, for example:

general vehicle information

position data

This allows the use of selected mobile phone apps, e.g. navigation or music playback. There is no further interaction between mobile phone and vehicle; in particular there is no active access to vehicle

data. How data is further processed is determined by the provider of the specific app used. Which settings you can make, if any, depends on the specific app and the operating system of your mobile phone.

>> Introduction.

Service providers

Wireless network connection

In as far as your vehicle has a wireless network connection, this will permit the exchange of data between your vehicle and further systems. The wireless network connection is enabled by a transmission and reception device installed in the vehicle or via mobile end devices (e.g. mobile phones) you bring into the vehicle. Online functions can be used via this wireless network connection. These include online services and applications/apps, which are provided by the manufacturer or by other providers.

Manufacturer's own services

For online services of the manufacturer, the manufacturer describes the specific functions and the associated data protection information in an appropriate place. Personal identification data may be used to provide online services. Data transfer to this end occurs via a protected connection e. g. using the IT systems of the manufacturer provided for this purpose. The collecting, processing, and use of personal identification data beyond the provision of services occurs exclusively on the basis of a legal permit or after due consent.

Generally, you can enable or disable the services and functions (which sometimes have associated costs). In some cases, this also applies to the whole data connection of the vehicle. Excluded from this are special legally prescribed functions and services.

Occupant safety

Restraint system

Protection provided by the restraint system

The restraint system includes the:

Seat belt system

Air bags

In an accident the restraint system can:

reduce the risk of vehicle occupants coming into contact with parts of the vehicle interior

reduce the forces to which vehicle occupants are subjected

A seat belt can only provide maximum protection when worn correctly. Depending on the type of accident detected, Emergency Tensioning Devices and/or air bags may supplement a correctly worn seat belt. Not every accident will trigger the Emergency Tensioning Devices and/or deploy the air bags.

To ensure that the restraint system provides the maximum protection, every vehicle occupant must:

have the seat belt fastened correctly

sit in a position that is as upright as possible with the back against the seat backrest

have their feet resting on the floor, if possible

always be secured in special additional restraint systems suitable for your vehicle if under 5 ft (1.50 m) tall

However, no system available today can completely eliminate injuries and fatalities in every accident. In particular, the seat belt and air bag generally do not protect against objects penetrating the vehicle from the out-

side. The risk of injuries due to a deployed air bag also cannot be completely eliminated.

Limited protection from restraint system

WARNING

Modifications to the restraint system may cause it to no longer work as intended. The restraint system may then not perform its intended protective function and may fail in an accident or trigger unexpectedly, for example. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

Never modify parts of the restraint system. Never tamper with the wiring, the electronic components or their software.

If the vehicle needs to be adjusted to accommodate a person with disabilities, contact a qualified specialist workshop. smart recommends that you only use driving assistance systems which have been approved for your vehicle by smart.

Contact a smart center for details. USA only: contact our Customer Assistance Center on 1‑800‑762‑7887 for more details.

Preparing the restraint system for operation

When the ignition is switched on, the 6 restraint system warning lamp lights up during the system self-test. It goes out no later than a few seconds after the vehicle is started. The components of the restraint system are then ready for operation.

Restraint system malfunctions

When the ignition is switched on, the 6 restraint system warning lamp does not light up.

While driving, the 6 restraint system warning lamp remains lit or lights up repeatedly.

If the restraint system is malfunctioning, the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system may also not be deactivated as intended in the event of an accident.

>> Safety.

Occupant safety

DANGER

If the restraint system is malfunctioning, restraint system components may be triggered unintentionally or may not deploy as intended during an accident. This can affect for example the Emergency Tensioning Device or the air bag. Furthermore, in the event of an accident, the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system may not be

deactivated as intended. You may be electrocuted if you touch the damaged components of the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

Have the restraint system checked and repaired in a qualified specialist workshop as soon as possible. After an accident, switch off the ignition immediately and remove the key from the ignition lock.

Restraint system response during an accident

The way the restraint system responds depends on the severity of the impact detected and the apparent type of accident:

Head-on collision

Rear impact

Side impact

Rollover

The activation threshold for the restraint system components is determined based on the analysis of the sensor values measured at various points in the vehicle. This process is pre-emptive in nature. The triggering process of the restraint system components should take place in good time at the start of the collision.

Factors which can only be seen and measured after a collision has occurred do not play a decisive role in the deployment of an air bag, nor do they provide an indication of air bag deployment.

The vehicle may be deformed significantly without an air bag being deployed. This is the case if only parts which are relatively easily deformed are affected and the rate of

smart fortwo coupe.

smart fortwo cabrio.

vehicle deceleration is not high. Conversely, an air bag may be deployed even though the vehicle suffers only minor deformation. If, for instance, very rigid vehicle parts such as longitudinal body members are hit, the rate of vehicle deceleration may be sufficient.

The restraint system components can be activated or triggered independently of each other:

The front-passenger front air bag can only be deployed in an accident if the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is lit. If the frontpassenger seat is occupied, make sure that the status of the front-passenger front air bag is correct both before and during the journey (

Y page 39).

WARNING

The air bag parts are hot after an air bag has been deployed. There is a risk of injury.

Do not touch the air bag parts. Have a deployed air bag replaced at a qualified specialist workshop as soon as possible.

smart recommends that you have the

vehicle towed to a qualified specialist workshop after an accident. Take this into account, particularly if an Emergency Tensioning Device was triggered or an air bag was deployed.

Occupant safety

If the Emergency Tensioning Devices are triggered or an air bag is deployed, you will hear a bang, and a small amount of powder may also be released:

The bang will not usually affect your hearing.

In general, the powder released is not hazardous to health but may cause short-term breathing difficulties to persons suffering from asthma or other pulmonary conditions.

Provided it is safe to do so, leave the vehicle immediately or open the window in order to prevent breathing difficulties.

Air bags and pyrotechnic Emergency Tensioning Devices contain perchlorate material, which may require special handling and environmental protection measures. National guidelines must be observed during disposal. In California, see www.dtsc.ca.gov/ HazardousWaste/Perchlorate/index.cfm.

Seat belts

Protection provided by seat belts

Always fasten seat belts correctly before starting your journey. A seat belt can only provide maximum protection when worn correctly.

WARNING

If the seat belt is not worn correctly, it cannot perform its intended protective function. An incorrectly fastened seat belt can also cause injuries, for example, in the event of an accident or when braking or changing direction abruptly. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

Always ensure that all vehicle occupants have their seat belts fastened correctly and are sitting properly.

The seat belt must:

not be twisted and must be tight and fit snugly across your body

be routed across the center of the shoulder and as low down across your hips as possible

The shoulder section of the seat belt should not touch your neck nor be routed under your arm or behind your back.

Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a winter coat.

Press the lap belt down into your hip joints and pull tight by the shoulder section of the belt. The lap belt must never be routed across your stomach or abdomen.

Never route the seat belt across sharp, pointed, abrasive or fragile objects.

Only one person per seat belt. Infants and children must never travel sitting on the lap of a vehicle occupant.

Never secure objects with a seat belt if the seat belt is also being used by one of the vehicle's occupants. Always observe the notes on "Loading the vehicle" for securing objects, luggage or loads (

Y page 122).

Also make sure that objects are never placed between an occupant and the seat, e.g. a cushion.

The front-passenger seat belt is equipped with a special seatbelt retractor. Further information can be found under "Special seatbelt retractor" (

Y page 43).

If children are traveling in the vehicle, be sure to observe the instructions and safety notes on "Children in the vehicle"

Y page 42).

Limited protection from seat belts

WARNING

The seat belt does not offer the intended level of protection if you have not moved the backrest to an almost vertical position. When braking or in the event of an accident, you could slide underneath the seat belt and sustain abdomen or neck injuries, for example. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

Adjust the seat properly before beginning your journey. Always ensure that the

>> Safety.

Occupant safety

backrest is in an almost vertical position and that the shoulder section of your seat belt is routed across the center of your shoulder.

WARNING

Persons less than 5 ft (1.50 m) tall cannot wear the seat belt correctly without an additional and suitable restraint system.

>> Safety.

For this reason, always secure persons under 5 ft (1.50 m) tall in suitable additional restraint systems.

WARNING

If objects between the seat and door are blocking the moving belt anchorage on the seat, this restricts the restraining effect of the seat belt. The seat belt can no longer protect as intended. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

Make sure that no objects are between the seat and door before beginning a journey.

WARNING

The seat belts may not perform their intended protective function if:

they are damaged, modified, extremely dirty, bleached or dyed

the seat belt buckle is damaged or extremely dirty

the Emergency Tensioning Devices, belt anchorages or inertia reels have been modified.

Seat belts may be damaged in an accident, although the damage may not be visible, e.g. due to splinters of glass. Modified or damaged seat belts may tear or fail, e.g. in

an accident. Modified Emergency Tensioning Devices could accidentally trigger or fail to deploy when necessary. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

Never modify the seat belts, Emergency Tensioning Devices, belt anchorages and inertia reels. Make sure that the seat belts are undamaged, not worn out and clean. Following an accident, have the seat belts checked immediately at a qualified specialist workshop.

Only use seat belts which have been approved specifically for your vehicle by smart.

WARNING

Emergency Tensioning Devices that have deployed pyrotechnically are no longer operational and are unable to perform their intended protective function. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

Have pyrotechnically triggered Emergency Tensioning Devices replaced immediately at a qualified specialist workshop.

smart recommends that you have the vehicle towed to a qualified specialist workshop after an accident.

Make sure that the seat belt is fully rolled

up. Otherwise, the seat belt or belt tongue will be trapped in the door or in the seat mechanism. This could damage the door, the door trim panel and the seat belt. Damaged seat belts can no longer fulfill their protective function and must be replaced. Visit a qualified specialist workshop.

Fastening and releasing the seat belt

If the seat belt is pulled out quickly or sharply, the inertia reel locks. The belt strap cannot be pulled out any further.

If the front-passenger seat is not occu-

pied, do not engage the seat belt tongue in the buckle on the front-passenger seat. Otherwise, in addition to other systems, the Emergency Tensioning Device could

Always make sure that there are no objects between the air bag and the vehicle's occupants.

To avoid risks as a result of a deployed air bag:

Adjust seats correctly before starting your journey and move the driver's and frontpassenger seat as far back as possible.

Always observe the information on the correct driver's seat position (

Only hold onto the outside of the steering wheel rim. This allows the air bag to be fully deployed.

Always lean against the backrest while driving. Do not lean forwards or lean against the door or side window. You may otherwise be in the deployment area of the air bags.

Always keep your feet on the floor. Do not put your feet on the dashboard, for example. Your feet may otherwise be in the deployment area of the air bag.

When children are traveling in the vehicle, follow the related additional notes

Y page 42).

(

Always properly stow and secure objects.

Y page 48).

Objects in the vehicle interior may limit an air bag's ability to function correctly. Therefore, always make sure that:

There are no people, animals or objects between the vehicle occupants and an airbag.

There are no objects between the seat, the door and the door pillar (B-pillar).

No hard objects, e.g. coat hangers, are hanging on the grab handles or coat hooks.

No accessories, such as cup holders, are attached within the deployment area of an airbag, e.g. to doors, side

windows or side

trim panels.

No heavy, sharp-edged or fragile objects are kept in the pockets of clothing. Store such objects in a suitable place.

Limited protection from air bags

WARNING

If you modify the air bag cover or affix objects such as stickers to it, the air bag can no longer function correctly. There is an increased risk of injury.

Never modify an air bag cover or affix objects to it.

WARNING

Unsuitable seat covers can obstruct or even prevent the deployment of the air bags integrated in the seats. Consequently, the air bags cannot protect vehicle occupants as intended. In addition, the operation of the automatic frontpassenger front air bag deactivation system could be restricted. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

Only use seat covers that have been approved for the corresponding seats by smart.

WARNING

Sensors to control the air bags are located in the doors. Modifications or work not performed correctly to the doors or door paneling, as well as damaged doors, can lead to

the function of the sensors being impaired. The air bags might therefore not function properly anymore. Consequently, the air bags cannot protect vehicle occupants as they are designed to do. There is an increased risk of injury.

Never modify the doors or parts of the doors. Always have work on the doors or door paneling carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

WARNING

A deployed air bag no longer offers any protection and cannot provide the intended protection in an accident. There is an increased risk of injury.

Have the vehicle towed to a qualified specialist workshop in order to have a deployed air bag replaced.

Have deployed air bags replaced immediately.

Status of the front-passenger front air bag

Important notes when the front-passenger seat is occupied

The automatic front-passenger air bag deactivation system can detect if there is a person or a child restraint system on the frontpassenger seat. The front-passenger air bag is enabled or disabled accordingly.

When installing a child restraint system on the front-passenger seat:

ensure that the child restraint system is positioned correctly (

always comply with the child restraint

Y page 42)

system manufacturer's installation instructions

never place objects, such as cushions, under or behind the child restraint system

the base of the child restraint system must lie fully against the seat cushion of the front-passenger seat

Occupant safety

the back of a forward-facing child restraint system must lie as flat as possible against the front-passenger backrest

the child restraint system must not touch the roof. Adjust the angle of the seat backrest accordingly

WARNING

Objects between the seat surface and the child restraint system could affect the function of the automatic front-passenger front air bag deactivation system. This could result in the front-passenger air bag not functioning as intended during an accident. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

Do not place any objects between the seat surface and the child restraint system. The entire base of the child restraint system must always rest on the seat cushion of the front-passenger seat.

activate vehicle equipment and become trapped, for example

activate or deactivate systems, thereby endangering other road users

Unsecured animals could also be flung around the vehicle in the event of an accident or sudden steering or braking, thereby injuring vehicle occupants. There is a risk of an accident and injury.

Never leave animals unattended in the vehicle. Always secure animals properly during the journey, e.g. use a suitable animal transport box.

Driving safely

Driving safety system limitations

Make sure you have suitable tires, so that

assistance systems and driving safety systems can work as effectively as possible.

If you fail to adapt your driving style or become distracted, the driving safety systems can neither reduce the risk of accident nor override the laws of physics. Driving safety systems are merely aids designed to assist driving. You are responsible for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed and for braking in good time. Always adapt your driving style to suit the prevailing road, weather and traffic conditions and

maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. Drive carefully.

For safety reasons, smart recommends that you only use snow chains that have been specially approved for your vehicle by smart. Further information can be obtained at a smart center or a qualified specialist workshop.

Braking with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)

ABS regulates brake pressure in such a way that the wheels do not lock when you brake. This allows you to continue steering the vehicle when braking.

The ! (Canada only) or ò (USA only) abs warning lamp in the instrument cluster lights up when the ignition is switched on. It goes out when the engine is running.

ABS works from a speed of about 4 mph (6 km/h), regardless of road-surface conditions. ABS intervenes in the case of slippery road surfaces, even when you only brake gently.

To brake while ABS intervenes: continue to depress the brake pedal with force until the braking situation is over.

To make a full brake application: depress the brake pedal with full force.

WARNING

If ABS is faulty, the wheels could lock when braking. The steerability and braking characteristics may be severely impaired. Additionally, further driving safety systems are deactivated. There is an increased danger of skidding and accidents.

Drive on carefully. Have ABS checked immediately at a qualified specialist workshop.

Using the forward collision warning

Useful information

If a risk of collision with the vehicle in front is detected, the forward collision warning alerts the driver both visually and acoustically.

>> Safety.

Driving safely

With the help of the radar sensor system, the forward collision warning can detect obstacles that are in the path of your vehicle for an extended period of time.

Up to a speed of approximately 45 mph (70 km/h), the forward collision warning can react to stationary obstacles, such as stationary or parked vehicles.

Please note

>> Safety.

Observe the notes in the "Limitations of

the driving safety systems" ( section.

WARNING

The distance warning function does not react:

to people or animals

to oncoming vehicles

to crossing traffic

when cornering

The distance warning function may not give warnings in all critical situations. There is a risk of an accident.

Always pay careful attention to the traffic situation and be ready to brake.

Always adapt your speed to suit the prevailing road and traffic conditions.

Y page 45)

In this case, an intermittent warning tone also sounds

Detection can be restricted under the following conditions:

the vehicle is new or service work has been carried out on the system. In this case, observe the information on breaking-in the vehicle

the sensors are dirty or covered

in heavy rain or snow

there is interference from other radar sources, e.g. in parking garages

the vehicle traveling in front is narrow, e.g. a motorcycle

the vehicle traveling in front is traveling on a different line

Following any damage to the front end of the vehicle, have the configuration and operation of the radar sensor checked at a qualified specialist workshop. This also applies to collisions at slow speeds where there is no visible damage to the front of the vehicle.

Activating/deactivating the forward collision warning

WARNING

The distance warning function cannot always clearly identify objects and complex traffic situations.

In such cases, the distance warning function may:

give an unnecessary warning

Acoustic presence indicator

Useful information

Vehicles with an electric motor generate much less driving noise than vehicles with internal combustion engines. As a result, your vehicle may not be heard by other road users in certain situations.

In order to allow your vehicle to be heard when it is moving at slow speeds, a sound generator installed in the vehicle produces a specific noise at speeds between 0 and 18 mph (30 km/h). This function is called the acoustic presence indicator. It makes it possible for other road users, especially pedestrians and cyclists, to hear the vehicle bet-

Driving economically

ter. The acoustic presence indicator can also be heard in the vehicle interior.

The volume of the acoustic presence indicator depends on the engine speed. The greater the acceleration, the louder the noise. At speeds of over 18 mph (30 km/h ), the noise is switched off. Above this speed, the driving noise naturally created by the vehicle is typically sufficient for the vehicle to be heard in good time by other road users.

Braking correctly

Please note

WARNING

If you rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving, the braking system can overheat. This increases the stopping distance and can even cause the braking system to fail. There is a risk of an accident.

Never use the brake pedal as a footrest. Never depress the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal at the same time.

The vehicle slows down as soon as the accelerator pedal is released. This aids recuperation as the engine is used as a generator and charges the high-voltage battery.

Braking on steep downhill gradients

When driving on downhill gradients, observe the following rules:

Do not move the gear lever to position N.

If recuperation is restricted, also brake at intervals.

Braking on wet road surfaces

There may be a delayed brake response when driving on wet roads, after driving through a car wash or after driving through deep water.

Maintain a greater distance from the vehicle in front.

Brake more firmly.

Braking correctly

Braking on salt-treated roads

If you drive on salt-treated roads, a layer of salt may form on the brake discs and pads. This increases the vehicle's braking distance.

In order to prevent any salt build-up, apply the brakes occasionally while paying attention to the traffic conditions.

Brake carefully at the end of the journey and when starting the next journey.

Maintain a greater distance to the vehicle in front.

Maintaining the brakes

The brake fluid level may be too low, if:

if the red brake warning lamp lights up in the instrument cluster and

you hear a warning tone while the engine is running

Observe additional warning messages in the multifunction display.

The brake fluid level may be too low due to brake pad wear or leaking brake lines.

Have the brake system checked immediately. Consult a qualified specialist workshop to arrange this.

A function or performance test should

only be carried out on a 2-axle dynamometer. If you wish to operate the vehicle on such a dynamometer, please consult a qualified specialist workshop in advance. You could otherwise damage the drive train or the brake system.

As the ESP®system operates automati-

cally, the engine and the ignition must be switched off (the SmartKey must be in position 0 or 1 in the ignition lock) if:

the parking brake is tested using a brake dynamometer (maximum 10 seconds).

the vehicle is towed with the front axle raised.

Braking triggered automatically by ESP may seriously damage the brake system.

All checks and maintenance work on the brake system must be carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

>> Driving.

Using cruise control

Have brake pads/linings installed and brake fluid replaced at a qualified specialist workshop.

If the brake system has only been subject to moderate loads, you should test the functionality of your brakes at regular intervals.

When having brake pads/linings installed, smart recommends that you only use those which are approved for smart vehicles or are of an equivalent quality standard. Brake pads/linings which have not been approved for smart vehicles or which are not of an equivalent quality could affect your vehicle's operating safety.

Driving on wet roads

>> Driving.

Hydroplaning

Depending on driving style and tire tread depth, hydroplaning can occur on the road. Adapt your driving style as follows:

Reduce the speed.

Brake carefully.

Avoid sudden steering movements

Avoid tire ruts.

Fording

Bear in mind that vehicles traveling in

front or in the opposite direction create waves. This may cause the maximum permissible water depth to be exceeded.

Failure to observe these notes may result in damage to the engine, electrical systems and transmission.

Prevent water from entering the vehicle interior or the engine compartment. Observe the following when driving through standing water:

The water level should not exceed the lower edge of the vehicle body in still water

Drive no faster than walking pace.

Winter driving

Before the start of winter, have the vehicle checked at a qualified specialist workshop.

Use winter tires and, if applicable, snow chains.

Drive carefully and avoid sudden acceleration, turning and braking on slippery road surfaces.

Do not use cruise control.

If the vehicle skids, take corrective steering actions to counteract the movement.

If the vehicle skids, shift the transmission to position i.

Do not use the outside temperature display as a way to determine if conditions are icy.

Observe the road surface.

Charging the high-voltage battery

Useful information

Method of operation

The vehicle is equipped with a high-voltage battery for driving. The high-voltage battery stores the energy needed to operate the electric motor and releases it again.

The electric motor uses energy stored in the high-voltage battery for pulling away and accelerating.

In overrun mode, kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy by recuperation and stored in the high-voltage battery.

The high-voltage battery can be charged as follows:

by recuperation while the vehicle is in motion

with the suitable charging cable at a mains socket while the vehicle is stationary

with the suitable charging cable at a wallbox while the vehicle is stationary

with the suitable charging cable at a charging station while the vehicle is stationary

Not all charging variants are available in all countries.

The high-voltage battery can be charged in a voltage range from 100 V to 240 V.

If possible only charge the high-voltage

battery when the charge is below 80%. Charge the high-voltage battery at the latest when the charge falls below 20%.

Discharged high-voltage battery

The high-voltage electrical system switches off if the high-voltage battery is completely discharged. This protects the high-voltage battery from exhaustive discharge.

Switching the ignition on and then off

can reactivate the high-voltage electrical system temporarily. This allows the vehicle to be parked safely.

Do not allow the vehicle's high-voltage battery to remain in a discharged or almost fully discharged state for more than 14 days. You can check the condition of charge in the charge level display (

Y page 57).

Extreme outside temperatures

The efficiency of the high-voltage battery is temperature-dependent and is significantly reduced at low or very high temperatures. In addition, the electrolytes used may freeze at very low temperatures.

The LED ring in power display shows the power output available (

Y page 57).

Energy consumption and range

The available energy in the high-voltage battery is fundamentally reduced by the following factors:

low outside temperatures

operating the air-conditioning system or heating

switching on electrical consumers

Low outside temperature and prolonged periods of inactivity without charging can have the following effects:

the high-voltage battery output is significantly reduced

charging periods may be longer

range can be significantly reduced

In extreme cases, it may not be possible to start the vehicle as a result. You should therefore always ensure that the high-voltage battery is fully charged or that the charging cable is connected when parking the vehicle for an extended period of time at low outside temperatures.

As the gets older, the capacity of the highvoltage battery will diminish in the course of its lifetime. This reduces the maximum range and the maximum acceleration.

Battery care

Observe the following notes on battery care:

avoid storing and transporting the vehicle at high temperatures and over an extended period of time (e.g. transporting it in a container)

connect the vehicle to a power supply when parking it for an extended period of time

temperatures below Ò13 ‡ (Ò25 †) for more than seven days can cause irreversible damage to the vehicle due to frost damage

>> Driving.

Conditions of use

Observe the information on exceptions and limitations in the warranty documentation and in the Maintenance Booklet.

Voltage surge protection device

Voltage surges in the mains supply can

damage the vehicle. The vehicle is therefore equipped with a device which protects it from voltage surges in the mains supply. This device may be triggered during severe thunderstorms, for example, and may lead to the building's fuse being tripped and an interruption in the power supply. These functions protect the vehicle. After the building fuse is switched on

again, the charging process resumes automatically. Following an interruption in the power supply without the building's fuse being tripped, it may take up to 10 minutes for charging to resume automatically.

After the device has triggered, switch the building's fuse unit on again. Otherwise, the charging process will not resume.

Heat generated by the charging cable and charging cable connector

Charging cables and charging cable connectors may heat up during the charging process at a mains socket.

In the following cases, the rise in temperature is within the permitted limits:

infrastructure of the mains power supply and the charging cable are intact

instructions for handling the charging cable and controls on the charging cable are followed

If an increase in temperature to above the permitted limits does take place, check the infrastructure of the mains power supply.

Please note

Do not operate the windshield wipers

when the windshield is dry, as this could damage the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has collected on the windshield can scratch the glass if wiping takes place when the windshield is dry.

If it is necessary to switch on the windshield wipers in dry weather conditions, always use washer fluid when operating the windshield wipers.

Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the wind-

shield becomes dirty in dry weather conditions, the windshield wipers may be activated inadvertently. This could then damage the windshield wiper blades or scratch the windshield.

For this reason, you should always switch off the windshield wipers in dry weather.

Make sure that the front windshield wip-

ers are free of ice. The wiper motor could otherwise overheat.

Wiper blades are subject to wear and tear. smart recommends replacing the wiper blades twice a year. Worn or damaged wiper blades cause smearing on the windshield. On vehicles with a rain sensor, malfunctions are then possible.

Operating the climate control system

Useful information

The climate control system is only available when the ignition is switched on.

If the climate control system is deactivated, the air supply and circulation are switched off. The windows could fog up. You should therefore switch off the climate control system for brief periods only.

In air-recirculation mode, only the air inside the vehicle is recirculated and no fresh air is introduced. This is useful in a tunnel or when there are unpleasant odors outside the vehicle. In air-recirculation mode, the windows may fog up more quickly, particularly when the outside temperature is low. Therefore, switch on air-recirculation mode only briefly.

The integrated filter in the climate control system keeps out most particles of dust as well as pollen. The filter reduces the amount of air supplied to the vehicle interior. For this reason, you should always observe the interval for replacing the filter.
