This Operator’s Manual contains very

important to note that this is a unique
vehicle. It is obviously smaller than most
vehicles on the road and, for this reason,
it can provide both unique experiences and
special responsibilities. It is extremely
important that you read this entire Manual
and that you familiarize yourself with how
the vehicle works. Some of the features may
be different from the features on other
compact passenger vehicles. Should you
have any questions about the vehicle and
how to safely operate its features, please
use common sense and contact smart dealer
representatives, who are available to help
you.

Although we cannot prevent you from
servicing the vehicle at facilities other
than smart authorized facilities, this is
not advisable.
Optional extras are identified with an
asterisk*. The equipment in your vehicle
may vary depending on the model, 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.
Should you find that a particular feature in
this manual is important to your decision
to purchase the vehicle, we recommend that
you personally check the vehicle to ensure
that this feature has been installed before
buying the vehicle.
The Operator’s Manual, Quick Guide and
Maintenance/Warranty Booklet (USA only)
or Service/Warranty Booklet (Canada only)
belong to the vehicle. You should always

Operating safety
Warning!
G
Work improperly carried out on electronic
components and associated software could
cause them to cease functioning. Because
the vehicle’s electronic components are
interconnected, any modifications made
may produce an undesired effect on other
systems. Electronic malfunctions could
seriously impair the operating safety of
your vehicle.
See an authorized smart center for repairs
or modifications to electronic
components.
Improper work or modifications on other
vehicle systems could also have a negative
impact on the operating safety of the
vehicle.
Warning!
G
Some safety systems only function while the
engine is running. You should therefore
never turn off the engine while driving.
Warning!
G
Heavy blows against the vehicle underbody
or tires/wheels, for example when running
Z
>> Introduction.
16
over an obstacle, road debris or a pothole,
may cause serious damage and impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
If you feel a sudden significant vibration
or ride disturbance, or you suspect that
damage to your vehicle has occurred, you
should turn on your hazard warning
flashers, carefully slow down, and drive
with caution to an area which is a safe
distance from the road.
Inspect the vehicle underbody and tires/
wheels for possible damage. If the vehicle
appears unsafe, have it towed to the nearest
authorized smart center or other qualified
maintenance or repair facility for further
inspection or repairs.
Proper use of the vehicle
Proper use of the vehicle requires that you
are familiar with the following
information and rules:
R
the safety precautions in this manual
R
the “Technical data” section in this
manual
R
traffic rules and regulations
R
motor vehicle laws and safety standards
Warning!
G
Various warning labels are attached to your
vehicle. These warning labels are intended
to make you and others aware of various
risks. You should not remove any of these
warning labels unless explicitly
instructed to do so by information on the
label itself. Removal of any of these labels
may cause you and others to be unaware of
certain risks which may result in an
accident and/or personal injury.
Problems with your vehicle
If you should experience a problem with
your vehicle, particularly one that you
believe may affect its safe operation, we
urge you to immediately contact an
authorized smart center to have the
problem diagnosed and corrected if
required. Do not drive the vehicle if you
believe it may not be safely operated. If the
matter is not handled to your satisfaction,
please discuss the problem with the smart
center management, or if necessary contact
us at one of the following addresses:
