Protection of the environment
General notes
Environmental note
H
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:
R
operating conditions of your vehicle
R
your personal driving style
You can influence both factors. Therefore, please bear the following in mind:
Operating conditions:
R
observe the correct tire pressure.
R
avoid carrying unnecessary weight.
R
remove the roof rack once you no longer need it.
R
a regularly serviced vehicle will con­tribute to environmental protection. You should therefore adhere to the service intervals.
R
all maintenance work should be carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style:
R
drive carefully and maintain a safe dis­tance from the vehicle in front.
R
avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and braking.
R
monitor the vehicle's energy consump­tion.
High-voltage battery
Environmental note
H
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.
smart genuine parts

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.
The vehicle's original purchase contract documentation contains a list of all the sys­tems in your vehicle. Please contact any smart center to help clarify any questions related to the vehicle equipment and opera­tion.

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.
25
This information generally documents the condition of a component, a module, a system or the surroundings, for example:
R
operating states of system components (e.g. fluid levels, battery status, tire pres­sure)
R
status messages of the vehicle or its indi­vidual components (e.g. wheel revolu­tions/speed, deceleration in movement, lateral acceleration, display of seat belts fastened)
R
malfunctions and defects in key system components (e.g. the lights and brakes)
R
information on incidents in which the vehicle is damaged
R
reactions of the systems in specific driv­ing situations (e.g. deployment of an air bag, use of stability control systems)
R
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:
R
multimedia data, such as music, films or photos for playback in an integrated mul­timedia system
R
address book data for use in an integrated hands-free system or an integrated navi­gation system
R
navigation destinations entered
R
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:
R
settings of the seat and steering wheel positions
R
chassis and climate control settings
R
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:
R
general vehicle information
R
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.

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:
R
Seat belt system
R
Air bags
In an accident the restraint system can:
R
reduce the risk of vehicle occupants com­ing into contact with parts of the vehicle interior
R
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:
R
have the seat belt fastened correctly
R
sit in a position that is as upright as pos­sible with the back against the seat back­rest
R
have their feet resting on the floor, if pos­sible
R
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
G
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
R
When the ignition is switched on, the 6 restraint system warning lamp does not light up.
R
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.
Z
Occupant safety
34
DANGER
G
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:
R
Head-on collision
R
Rear impact
R
Side impact
R
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
1
smart fortwo coupe.
2
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:
Component Detected trigger sit-
uation

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 (
G
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
i
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
35
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:
R
The bang will not usually affect your hear­ing.
R
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
G
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.
R
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
R
The shoulder section of the seat belt should not touch your neck nor be routed under your arm or behind your back.
R
Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a winter coat.
R
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.
R
Never route the seat belt across sharp, pointed, abrasive or fragile objects.
R
Only one person per seat belt. Infants and children must never travel sitting on the lap of a vehicle occupant.
R
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
G
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

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
G
Persons less than 5 ft (1.50 m) tall cannot wear the seat belt correctly without an additional and suitable restraint system.
>> Safety.
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.
For this reason, always secure persons under 5 ft (1.50 m) tall in suitable addi­tional restraint systems.
WARNING
G
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
G
The seat belts may not perform their inten­ded protective function if:
R
they are damaged, modified, extremely dirty, bleached or dyed
R
the seat belt buckle is damaged or extremely dirty
R
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
G
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.

Limited protection from air bags
WARNING
G
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
G
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
G
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
G
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.

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.
X
To brake while ABS intervenes: continue to depress the brake pedal with force until the braking situation is over.
X
To make a full brake application: depress the brake pedal with full force.
WARNING
G
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.

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-
Z

56
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
G
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:
R
Do not move the gear lever to position N.
R
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.
X
Maintain a greater distance from the vehi­cle in front.
X
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.
X
In order to prevent any salt build-up, apply the brakes occasionally while pay­ing attention to the traffic conditions.
X
Brake carefully at the end of the journey and when starting the next journey.
X
Maintain a greater distance to the vehicle in front.
Maintaining the brakes
The brake fluid level may be too low, if:
!
R
if the red brake warning lamp lights up in the instrument cluster and
R
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:
R
the parking brake is tested using a brake dynamometer (maximum 10 seconds).
R
the vehicle is towed with the front axle raised.
Braking triggered automatically by ESP may seriously damage the brake system.

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:
R
by recuperation while the vehicle is in motion
R
with the suitable charging cable at a mains socket while the vehicle is stationary
R

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
i
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
i
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:
R
low outside temperatures
R
operating the air-conditioning system or heating
R
switching on electrical consumers
Low outside temperature and prolonged periods of inactivity without charging can have the following effects:
R
the high-voltage battery output is signif­icantly reduced
R
charging periods may be longer
R
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:
R
avoid storing and transporting the vehicle at high temperatures and over an extended period of time (e.g. transporting it in a container)
R
connect the vehicle to a power supply when parking it for an extended period of time
R
temperatures below Ò13 (Ò25 ) for more than seven days can cause irreversible damage to the vehicle due to frost damage

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:
R
infrastructure of the mains power supply and the charging cable are intact
R
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.

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.
