Let the fun begin!
Take a moment to familiarise yourself with your smart fortwo coupé or smart fortwo cabrio and read through the manual before setting off. That will ensure you get more fun out of your vehicle  and avoid danger to yourself and others. Optional extras are identified with an asterisk *. The equipment of your vehicle can vary by model, national version and availability. smart is constantly bringing its vehicles up to the very latest state of the art and reserves the right to modify them in form, equipment and engineering. You cannot therefore derive any claims from the information, illustrations and descriptions given in this manual.
The manual, QuickGuide and service booklet belong to the vehicle. 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. Please contact a smart centre if you have any further questions. The Technical Documentation team at DaimlerChrysler AG wishes you many happy hours at the wheel.

Protecting the environment

H Environmental note
DaimlerChrysler's declared policy is one of integrated environmental protection. The objectives are for the natural re sources which form the basis of our exis tence on this planet to be used sparingly and in a manner which takes the require ments of both nature and humanity into account. You too can help to protect the environ ment by operating your vehicle in an en vironmentallyresponsible manner. Fuel consumption and the rate of engine, transmission, brake and tyre wear de pend on the following factors:
• Operating conditions of your vehicle
• Your personal driving style You can influence both factors. You should bear the following in mind:
Operating conditions
• Avoid short trips as these increase fuel consumption.
• Make sure that the tyre pressures are always correct.
• Do not carry any unnecessary ballast.
• Keep an eye on the vehicle's fuel con sumption.
• Remove rear racks once you no longer need them.
• A regularly serviced vehicle will help to protect the environment. You should therefore adhere to the service inter vals.
• Always have servicing carried out in a qualified specialist workshop such as a smart center:
Personal driving style
• Do not depress the accelerator pedal when starting the engine.
• Do not warm up the engine with the ve hicle stationary.
• Drive carefully and maintain a safe dis tance from the vehicle in front.
• Avoid frequent, sudden acceleration.
• Change gear in good time and use each gear only up to 2/3 of its maximum en gine speed.
• Switch off the engine in stationary traffic.

End of life vehicles

You can return your smart fortwo coupé or smart fortwo cabrio to us for environmentally friendly disposal in accordance with the Euro pean Union's EndofLife Vehicle Directive  but that day lies a long way off. The directive applies in accordance with the national statutory provisions for motor vehic les. The smart fortwo coupé and the smart fortwo cabrio have fulfilled legal require ments for recyclable design for some years now. A network of collection points and disas sembly workshops is available to receive end oflife vehicles, where your vehicle can be re cycled in an environmentallyfriendly manner. At the same time, the possibilities for the re cycling of vehicles and vehicle parts are con tinually being developed and improved, The smart fortwo coupé and the smart fortwo cab rio consequently will remain able to meet the higher statutory recycling quotas that will take effect in the future. Visit www.smart.com for more information.

Operating safety

Danger of accident and
G
injury!
Always have any work on the vehicle, par ticularly work that affects safety or work on safetyrelated systems as well as ser vicing, carried out in a qualified specia list workshop. The specialist workshop must have the necessary specialist know ledge and tools to carry out the work re quired. smart recommends that you have this done in a smart center.
Danger of accident and
G
injury!
Some safety systems only function when the engine is running. Do not therefore switch off the engine when driving. Otherwise the safety systems of your ve hicle might not function properly any mo re, which means that they will no longer protect you or other people as intended. This will increase the risk of accident and injury.
Danger of accident and
G
injury!
Inexpert work or modifications to the ve hicle, e.g. the routing of cables underne ath panelling, could result in the safety systems of your vehicles ceasing to func tion properly. As a result the safety sys tems may no longer protect you or other people as intended. This will increase the risk of accident and injury. That is why you should always have work and modifications to the vehicle, e.g. in stallations and alterations, carried out in a qualified specialist workshop.
16 >> Introduction.
Page 19
G Accident risk!
A heavy impact to the underneath of the vehicle, tyres or wheels (e.g. bottoming out in rough terrain or when driving over an obstacle at high speed) can damage the vehicle. This also applies to vehicles which are equipped with underbody pro tection. If this happens you should have your vehicle inspected in a qualified spe cialist workshop.
G Accident risk!
If work on electronic equipment and its software is carried out incorrectly, this equipment could stop working. The elec tronic systems are networked via inter faces. Tampering with these electronic systems could cause malfunctions in sys tems which have not been modified. Mal functions such as these can seriously jeopardise the vehicle's operating safety and therefore your own safety. That is why you should always have work and mo difications to electronic components carried out in a qualified specialist work shop.
Operating safety

Correct use

Please observe the following information when using the vehicle:
• the safety notes in this manual
• the chapter "Technical data" in this manual
• national road traffic regulations
• national road traffic licensing regulations
G Danger of injury!
Various warning stickers are affixed to your vehicle. Their purpose is to draw your attention, and the attention of others, to various dangers. Therefore, do not remove any warning stickers unless the sticker clearly states that you may do so. If you remove the warning stickers, you or others could be injured by failing to recognise certain dangers.

Seat belts

Seat belts  supplemented by belt tensioners and belt force limiters  together with the air bags form a coordinated safety restraint system. The safety restraint system reduces the risk of occupants hitting against the inte rior of the vehicle in the event of critical dri ving situations and thus enhances your driving safety.
G Danger of injury!
A seat belt which is not worn, which is worn incorrectly, or which has not been engaged in the seat belt buckle correctly, cannot perform its intended protective function. Under certain circumstances this could even cause severe or fatal in juries. You should therefore make sure that all occupants  particularly preg nant 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 under your arm,
• fits closely across your pelvic area, by pulling upwards on the shoulder sec tion of the belt.
Do not secure any objects with a seat belt if it is being used by one of the vehicle's occupants. Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a win ter coat. Do not position the belt strap across sharpedged 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 damaged and you or other vehicle occupants could be injured in the event of an accident. Only one person should use each seat belt at any one time. On no account should children travel sit ting on the lap of another occupant. It would not be possible to restrain the child, and the child or other vehicle occu pants could be injured seriously in the event of abrupt braking or even fatally in the event of an accident.
40 >> Safety.
Page 43
Occupant safety
G Danger of injury!
Persons under 1.50 m in height and child ren under twelve years of age cannot fas ten the seat belts correctly. They therefore require additional suitable child restraint systems* on appropriate seats for protection in an accident. Al ways follow the manufacturer's installati on instructions when fitting a child restraint system*.
G Danger of injury!
A seat belt only offers its intended de gree of protection if the backrest is po sitioned as upright as possible and the occupant is therefore sitting upright. Avoid seat positions that prevent the seat belt from lying correctly across the wea rer's body. Position the backrest as up right as possible. Do not drive with the backrest reclined too far back. Otherwi se, you could be seriously or even fatally injured in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
G Danger of injury!
Modifications to or work not performed correctly on restraint systems (seat belts, anchorages, belt tensioners, belt force limiters or airbags) or their wiring, as well as work on other networked elec tronic systems, may prevent the restraint systems from working correctly. Airbags or belt tensioners could fail to operate, e.g. in accidents where the rate of dece leration exceeds the tripping threshold, or could be activated inadvertently. Ne ver carry out any modifications on the restraint systems. Never tamper with electronic components and their softwa re.
>> Safety. 41
Page 44
Occupant safety
G Danger of injury!
The seat belt cannot function correctly 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 make sure that they
• are not damaged,
• 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 se riously or fatally injured. Have seat belts which have been damaged or subjected to heavy loads in an acci dent replaced and have their anchorages checked.
Belt tensioners and belt force li miters
The seat belts have belt tensioners and belt force limiters whose function is explained be low. Belt tensioners
• tension the seat belts when activated so that they lie as tightly as possible across the body.
• are only triggered in collisions with high vehicle deceleration/acceleration in the longitudinal direction, e.g. a headon colli sion.
When the belt tensioner is triggered, the air bag indicator lamp in the instrument panel il luminates.
! Do not fasten the seat belt on the front
passenger side if it is not occupied. In the event of an accident, the belt tensioner would be triggered unnecessarily.
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 operational.
• for each threepoint seat belt that is faste ned properly.
• in the event of a headon or rearend colli sion, if the vehicle is decelerated or acce lerated sufficiently in the longitudinal direction at the start of impact.
• in certain rollover situations if the need for additional protection is detected.
42 >> Safety.
Page 45
Occupant safety
G Danger of injury!
Once they have been triggered, belt ten sioners will no longer function properly and must be replaced smart recommends that you visit a qualified workshop to have this done. In particular, work relevant to safety or on safetyrelated systems must be carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. Comply with safety regulations when dis posing of belt tensioners. These regula tions can be viewed in every qualified specialist workshop such as a smart cen ter.

Airbags

Airbags can reduce the severity of injuries in serious collisions, e.g. in a headon collision or a side impact.
G Danger of injury!
In conjunction with a correctly fastened seat belt, airbags afford additional pro tective potential. However, they are no substitute for the seat belts. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal in juries in an accident involving rapid de celeration, e.g. with an airbag inflating within a matter of milliseconds, 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 possible. The dri ver's seat position must allow the ve hicle to be driven safely. The driver's arms must be slightly bent when hol ding the steering wheel. The driver must maintain a distance from the pe dals that allows him to depress these fully.
• Choose a seat position that is as far as possible from the front airbag but ne vertheless allows you to maintain cont rol of the car reliably.
• 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.
>> Safety. 43
Page 46
Occupant safety
• Position the front passenger's seat as far back as possible, particularly if children wearing child restraint sys tems* are secured to it.
• Do not lean forward, e.g. over the cus hioned pad on the steering wheel, par ticularly while driving.
• Do not put your feet on the dashboard.
• Only hold the steering wheel by the rim. This allows the airbag to inflate fully. You could be injured if the airbag is triggered and you are holding the in side of the steering wheel.
• Do not lean on the doors from inside the vehicle.
• Do not place any objects on the airbags or between the airbags and the vehic le's occupants.
• Do not hang any hard objects such as coat hangers from the grab handles or coat hooks.
In view of the unavoidably high inflation speed of the airbag, the possibility of in juries when an airbag inflates cannot be entirely ruled out.
Airbag operating principle
The airbag is inflated in a matter of millise conds. If the airbag was triggered, the airbag indicator lamp in the instrument panel illumi nates.
! If the airbags are activated, you will hear
a loud noise and some dust may be generated. The explosion fundamentally represents no risk to your hearing, and the dust is harmless.
The inflated airbag slows down and reduces the movement of the occupant. When the occu pant makes contact with the airbag, hot gas flows out of the inflated front airbags and head/thorax airbags. This reduces the load on the occupant's head and upper body. These airbags are consequently deflated after the accident.
44 >> Safety.
Page 47
G Danger of injury!
After an airbag has been deployed:
• Airbag components will be hot. Do not touch them, or you could be burned
• The airbags must be changed by a qua lified specialist workshop, which will have the necessary expertise and tools for performing the work involved. smart recommends that you visit a qua lified workshop to have this done. In particular, work relevant to safety or on safetyrelated systems must be carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
G Danger of injury!
A small amount of powder is released when an airbag inflates. This powder is not hazardous to health and does not in dicate that there is a fire in the vehicle. The powder could cause shortterm bre athing difficulties in people with asthma or breathing problems. To avoid these breathing difficulties, such persons should either leave the car immediately (provided it is safe to do so) or open the window to let fresh air in.
Occupant safety
Driver's airbag/passenger's airbag
The front airbags are intended to increase the prospects of protecting the driver and front passenger against injuries to the head or thorax. Driver's airbag and front passenger airbag are deployed:
• at the start of an accident with high vehicle deceleration in the longitudinal direction,
• independently of other airbags in the car being deployed,
• never in the event of a rollover, unless high vehicle deceleration in the longitudinal di rection is detected.
The front passenger airbag is only activated if
• the front passenger airbag is not switched off manually,
• the front passenger airbag indicator lamp on the overhead control panel is not lit.

Head/thorax airbags*
G Danger of injury!
To minimise the risk of injury to occup ants if a head/thorax airbag deploys, you should ensure that
• there are no other persons, animals or objects between the vehicle occupants and the inflation range of the head/ thorax airbag,
• no accessories, e.g. drinks can hol ders, are attached to the doors.
G Danger of injury!
Observe the following advice to reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury if the head/thorax airbag is deployed:
• Vehicle occupants – particularly child ren – must not lean their head on the area of the window in which the head/ thorax airbag is inflated.
• Vehicle occupants must always wear their seat belt correctly and position their backrest as close to the vertical as possible.
• Always secure children under 1.5 me tres tall and under twelve years of age with suitable child restraint systems.
46 >> Safety.
Page 49
Occupant safety
The head/thorax airbags are integrated into the driver and front passenger seat back rests. If activated, they are intended to incre ase the potential protection for the head and thorax (but not arms) of the occupants on the side of the car that is struck. The head/thorax airbags are deployed:
• on the side of the car that is struck,
• at the start of an accident with high vehicle deceleration or acceleration acting in a la teral direction, e.g. a side impact,
• regardless of whether or not the seat belt is in use,
• independently of the front airbags being deployed,
• independently of the belt tensioner.

Children in the vehicle

If you take a child in the vehicle,
• secure the child using a child restraint sys tem* that is appropriate for his or her age and size,
• always keep the child's seat belt fastened during the journey.
For information about the right child restraint system, contact your smart center.

Danger of accident and
G
injury!
Do not leave children unsupervised in the vehicle, even if they are secured in a child restraint system*. The children could:
• injure themselves on parts of the ve hicle,
• be severely or even fatally harmed by prolonged exposure to intense heat or cold.
If the children open the door, they could:
• injure other people in doing so,
• get out of the vehicle and thereby inju re themselves or be injured by passing vehicles.
Do not position the child restraint sys tem* in direct sunlight. Metallic parts of the child restraint system could heat up, for example, and the child could be burnt by the hot parts. Do not carry heavy or hard objects inside the vehicle unless they are secured. For more information, refer to "Loading gui delines" in the index. An unsecured or incorrectly positioned load increases the risk of injury to the child in the event of
• sharp braking,
• a sudden change in direction,
• an accident.
Child restraint systems*
Without suitable child restraint systems
• the seat belts cannot be fastened correctly,
• your children will be exposed to a greater risk of injury, as children's muscles and bo nes are not yet fully developed.
To reduce this greater risk of injury, children need suitable child restraint systems if they are less than 1.5 m tall or younger than 12 years old. smart recommends that you use child res traint systems that are equipped with the ISO FIX system.
! Observe the respective national regulati
ons in this regard.
48 >> Safety.
Page 51
To help you understand the safety standards of child restraint systems, smart advises that you refer to the current rest reports publis hed by various independent institutions (e.g. automobile clubs, consumer institutes and the like). smart recommends that you try to fit a child restraint system in the vehicle before buying and fitting it. Follow the manufacturer's in structions when doing so. If you are using a backwardsfacing child re straint system on the front passenger seat, you must switch off the front passenger air bag (see page 55). Child restraint systems of the "Universal" ca tegory can be identified by their orange ap proval label. The label is affixed to the child restraint system and identifies the corres ponding system.

G Danger of injury!
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal in jury to the child in the event of an acci dent, braking or sudden change in direction:
• Always secure children less than 1.50 m tall or under twelve years of age in a suitable child restraint system fitted on a suitable seat, as the seat belts are not designed for persons of this size.
• Never allow children to travel sitting on the lap of another occupant. They can no longer be secured due to the forces occurring in the event of an ac cident, heavy braking or sudden change in direction. They may be thrown against parts of the vehicle in terior and be seriously or fatally inju red
• All vehicle occupants must always have their seat belt fastened correctly
• If you secure a child restraint system to the frontpassenger seat, you must move the front passenger seat as far back as possible.
G Danger of injury!
If the child restraint system is not fitted correctly to the front passenger seat, the child may not be secured in the event of an accident or sudden braking and may suffer serious or even fatal injury. When fitting a child restraint system, you must follow the manufacturer's installation in structions and scope of application for the child restraint system. Never place objects, e.g. cushions, under the child restraint system. The entire base of the child restraint system must always be resting on the seat cushion. Child restraint systems must not be used without their original cover. Only replace damaged covers with genuine Mercedes Benz covers.
50 >> Safety.
Page 53
G Danger of injury!
If the child restraint system or its faste nings have previously been damaged or subjected to loads in an accident, the child it is intended to protect could sus tain serious or even fatal injuries as a result of another accident, braking ma noeuvres or abrupt changes of direction. You should therefore have restraint sys tems and fastenings that have been da maged or subjected to loads in an accident checked without delay in a qua lified specialist workshop, such as a smart center, and have them replaced if necessary.
ISOFIX child seat attachment*
ISOFIX is a standardised attachment system for special child restraint systems on the front passenger seat. The mounting brackets are located between the seat surface and the backrest. Fit the assembly aids before fitting a child seat.
! Remove the assembly aids if the child res
traint system is not fitted, otherwise the seat might get pressure marks.

A child restraint system secured with the ISOFIX child seat attachment does not provide sufficient protection for child ren weighing more than 22 kg. For this reason, do not secure children weighing more than 22 kg in a child restraint sys tem secured with the ISOFIX child seat attachment. If the child weighs more than 22 kg, secure the child restraint system using a threepoint seat belt.
G Danger of injury!
If the child restraint system is not fitted correctly to the front passenger seat, the child may not be secured in the event of an accident or sudden braking and may suffer serious or even fatal injury. Follow the manufacturer's installation instruc tions when fitting the child restraint sys tem. An incorrectly fitted child restraint sys tem could come loose and cause the child or other occupants of the vehicle serious or even fatal injury. After fitting the child restraint system, always ma ke su re that it is engaged in the mounting brackets on both the left and the right.

G Accident risk!
The risk of an accident especially incre ases when driving too fast, particularly when cornering and on wet or slippery roads as well as when driving too closely to the vehicle in front. The driving safety systems described in this section are unable to reduce this risk or override the laws of physics. You should therefore always adapt your driving style to suit the prevailing road and weather conditions and maintain a sufficient distance from other road users and objects on the road.
Antilock braking system (abs)
The antilock braking system (abs) prevents the braked wheels from blocking. Steering control is retained and you can therefore take evasive action to avoid obstacles.
i If the abs cuts in, you will feel a pulsating
sensation of the brake pedal. abs is only effective during emergency bra king manoeuvres when at least one wheel starts to lock up. In emergency braking situations: > Press the brake pedal rapidly all the way
down.
> Steer around the obstacle.
The vehicle remains under control.
i Continue to apply the brakes fully even
when the pedal starts to pulsate. This way you will achieve the maximum braking effect.

Driving safety systems

G Accident risk!
You should always adapt your driving sty le to suit the prevailing road and weather conditions and maintain a sufficient dis tance from other road users and objects on the road. If the abs system is faulty, the wheels could lock when the brakes are applied. This limits the steerability of the vehicle when braking and the braking distance may increase.

Seat belts

Wearing seat belts

The seat belts with integrated belt tensioners and belt force limiters combine with the air bags to form a restraint system that offers maximum safety in the event of an accident.
G Danger of injury!
Airbags represent an additional form of protection but are no substitute for wea ring a seat belt. To reduce the risk of se rious or fatal injuries, make sure that all occupants – particularly pregnant women – wear their seat belt correctly at all ti mes, have adopted a normal sitting posi tion, and that the seat is positioned as upright as possible.
G Danger of injury!
A seat belt which is not worn, which is worn incorrectly, or which has not been engaged in the seat belt buckle correctly, cannot perform its intended protective function. Under certain circumstances this could even cause severe or fatal in juries. You should therefore make sure that all occupants  particularly preg nant 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 under your arm,
• fits closely across your pelvic area, by pulling upwards on the shoulder sec tion of the belt.
>> Controls. 81
Page 84
Seat belts
Do not secure any objects with a seat belt if it is being used by one of the vehicle's occupants. Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a win ter coat. Do not position the belt strap across sharpedged 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 damaged and you or other vehicle occupants could be injured in the event of an accident. Only one person should use each seat belt at any one time. On no account should children travel sit ting on the lap of another occupant. It would not be possible to restrain the child, and the child or other vehicle occu pants could be seriously or even fatally injured in the event of sudden braking.
G Danger of injury!
Persons under 1.50 m in height and child ren under twelve years of age cannot fas ten the seat belts correctly. They therefore require additional suitable re straint systems on appropriate seats for protection in an accident. Always follow the manufacturer's installation instruc tions when fitting a child restraint sys tem*.
G Danger of injury!
A seat belt only offers its intended de gree of protection if the backrest is po sitioned as upright as possible and the occupant is therefore sitting upright. Avoid seat positions that prevent the seat belt from lying correctly across the wea rer's body. Position the backrest as up right as possible. Do not drive with the backrest reclined too far back. Otherwi se, you could be seriously or even fatally injured in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
82 >> Controls.
Page 85
G Danger of injury!
Modifications to or work not performed correctly on restraint systems (seat belts, anchorages, belt tensioners, belt force limiters or airbags) or their wiring, as well as work on other networked elec tronic systems, may prevent the restraint systems from working correctly. Airbags or belt tensioners could fail to operate in accidents where the rate of deceleration exceeds the tripping threshold or be ac tivated inadvertently, for example. Never carry out any modifications on the res traint systems. Never tamper with elec tronic components and their software.
G Danger of injury!
The seat belt cannot function correctly 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,
• they are not trapped.
Otherwise the belt could tear in the event of an accident. You or others could be se riously or fatally injured.
Seat belts
Have seat belts which have been damaged or subjected to heavy loads in an acci dent replaced and have their anchorages checked. For safety reasons, smart recommends that you only use seat belts that have been approved by smart or seat belts which offer the same degree of protec tion. Information on this is available from any qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart center.
