Operating instructions
smart fortwo coupé and smart fortwo cabrio
>>Let the fun begin!
Congratulations on choosing the smart fortwo coupé or smart fortwo cabrio. We're pleased about your decision. No doubt you are also
full of anticipation and want to finally start driving your car.
We'll show you what it's all about, give you a few important pieces of advice and some tips.
Please study these operating instructions thoroughly to ensure that you have more enjoyment with your smart and can recognise and
avoid any potential dangers to yourself or others.
The Operating Instructions, Quick Guide, Service Booklet and list of smart centers constitute part of the car itself. You should always
keep these documents in the car and make sure that you pass them on to the next owner if and when you come to sell your smart.
Incidentally, smart is among the first automotive manufacturers to offer a soot filter in the compact car segment. The maintenance
free system considerably reduces the hazardous soot particles emitted by the smart cdi engine. This contributes to environmental pro
tection and human health.

could cause you to lose control of the
vehicle and result in an accident.
Danger of injury!
When adjusting the seat, make
sure that no one is trapped.
Observe the notes on the airbag system.
Danger of injury!
To reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injuries in an accident involving
rapid deceleration, e.g. with an air
bag inflating within a matter of milli
seconds, or if the brakes are applied
abruptly, please note the following:
All vehicle occupants must select a
seat position that allows the seat
belt to be worn correctly and that is
as far away from the airbag as possi
ble.
The driver seat position must allow
the driver to drive the vehicle safe
ly. The driver's arms must be slightly
bent when holding the steering
wheel. The driver must maintain a
distance from the pedals that allows
him to depress these fully.
Move the front passenger seat as far
back as possible, especially if a
child is secured in a restraint sys
tem* on this seat.
Vehicle occupants should always
wear their seat belt correctly and
position their backrest as close to
the vertical as possible. The head
restraint should support the back of
your head at about eye level.
Danger of injury!
Take the car to a qualified spe
cialist workshop, e.g. a smart center if
the seats have become damaged.

Seat belts
Seat belts
The seat belts with integrated belt ten
sioners and belt force limiters combine
with the airbags to form a restraint sys
tem that offers maximum safety in the
event of an accident.
Danger of injury!
Airbags represent an additional
form of protection but are no substitute
for wearing a seat belt. To reduce the
risk of serious or fatal injuries, make
sure that all occupants – in particular,
pregnant women – wear their seat belt
correctly at all times, have adopted a
normal sitting position, and that the
seat is positioned as close to the ver
tical as possible.
Danger of injury!
A seat belt which is not worn,
which is worn incorrectly, or which has
not been engaged in the seat belt buck
le correctly, cannot perform its in
tended protective function. Under cer
tain circumstances this could even
cause severe or fatal injuries. You
should therefore make sure that all oc
cupants particularly pregnant
women – are always wearing their seat
belt correctly.
Make sure that the belt:
runs over the hip bone as low down as
possible, i.e. across the hip joint
and not across the stomach.
fits closely.
is not twisted.
runs across the middle of your shoul
der.
does not run across your neck or un
der your arm.
fits closely across your pelvic area,
by pulling upwards on the shoulder
section of the belt.
Do not secure any objects with a seat
belt if it is being used by one of the ve
hicle's occupants.
Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a
winter coat.
Do not position the belt strap across
sharpedged or fragile objects, espe
cially if these are located on or in your
clothing, e.g. spectacles, pencils or
keys. The seat belt strap could be dam
aged and you could be injured.
Only one person should use each seat
belt at any one time.
On no account should children travel
sitting on the lap of another occupant.
It would not be possible to restrain the
child, and the child or other vehicle
occupants could be injured seriously
in the event of abrupt braking or even
fatally in the event of an accident.
Blind date 25
Seat belts
Danger of injury!
Persons under 1.50 m in height and
children under twelve years of age can
not fasten the seat belts properly. They
therefore require additional suitable
restraint systems on appropriate seats
for protection in an accident. Always
follow the manufacturer's installation
instructions when fitting a child re
straint system*.
Danger of injury!
A seat belt only offers its intend
ed degree of protection if the backrest
is positioned as close to the vertical as
possible and the occupant is sitting
upright. Avoid seat positions that pre
vent the seat belt from lying correctly
across the wearer's body. Position the
backrest as vertically as possible. Do
not drive with the backrest reclined
too far back. Otherwise, you could be
seriously or even fatally injured in the
event of an accident or sudden braking.
Danger of injury!
Modifications to or work not per

Danger of injury!
The seat belt cannot function cor
rectly if the belt or buckle is dirty or
damaged. Keep the belt and buckle
clean, otherwise the belt tongue cannot
engage correctly.
Check the seat belts regularly to ensure
that
they are not damaged,
they are not running across sharp
edges,
are not trapped.
Otherwise the belt could tear in the
event of an accident. You or others
could be seriously or fatally injured.
Have seat belts which have been dam
aged or subjected to heavy loads in an
accident replaced and have their an
chorages checked.
For safety reasons, smart gmbh recom
mends using only seat belts that smart
gmbh has specifically approved for
your vehicle.

are only triggered in collisions with
high vehicle deceleration/accelera
tion in the longitudinal direction,
e.g. a headon collision.
> If the airbag indicator light comes
on, your belt tensioner has been ac
tivated.
>Note!
Do not fasten the seat belt on the front
passenger side if it is not occupied. In
the event of an accident, the belt ten
sioner would be triggered unnecessarily.
>Note!
Belt tensioners cannot compensate for:
incorrect seated positions,
seat belts worn incorrectly.
Belt tensioners do not actively pull the
occupants back against the seat back
rests.
Belt force limiters
reduce the force exerted by the belt on
the occupants when activated in the
event of an accident.
The belt force limiter is designed to
operate in unison with the front airbag,
which absorbs a portion of the seat belt's
decelerating forces, distributing the
load over a larger area.
If the ignition is switched on, the belt
tensioner is activated:
if the restraint systems are operation
al.
for each threepoint seat belt that is
fastened properly.
in the event of a headon or rearend
collision if the vehicle is decelerated
or accelerated sufficiently in the lon
gitudinal direction at the start of im

Danger of injury!
If the airbag indicator light
does not come on when a smart baby car
rier is fitted to the passenger seat, the
passenger airbag has not been deacti

coming seriously to fatally injured in
the event of an accident when the pas
senger airbag is triggered, especially
if the child is in the direct vicinity of
the passenger airbag at the time the
airbag is triggered.
The passenger airbag is only deacti
vated when you fit an original smart
baby carrier to the passenger's seat.
Danger of injury!
If the passenger airbag is acti
vated, e.g. the airbag indicator light
does not illuminate, you must never se
cure a child on the passenger seat in a
rearwardfacing child restraint sys
tem.
Also observe the corresponding warn
ing sticker on the instrument panel.
If you have installed a special smart
baby carrier on the passenger seat and
the airbag indicator light does not il
luminate (restraint system not detect

system detection checked by a quali

necessary specialist knowledge and
