USER MANUAL FORTWO COUPE SMART

>>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’1l 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.

The remote control has an operating range of up to 15 metres. This can fluctu- ate greatly as a consequence of local con- ditions (reflective or absorbing objects) and interference emitted by other radio transmission systems. Similarly, the op- erating range fluctuates in line with the direction from which the remote control is activated. Blind date 11

Locking the car with the remote control Danger ofinjury! Never leave children unsuper- vised in the vehicle. They could open à locked door from the inside or start the vehicle if the key is left in it and thereby endanger themselves and oth- ers. You should therefore take the key with you when leaving the vehicle, even if you are only leaving it for a short time. Do not leave children unsupervised in the car, even if they are secured by a child restraint system. Children could injure themselves on parts of the vehi- cle or be severely or even fatally harmed by prolonged exposure to in- tense heat or cold. 12 Blind date m Close the car's doors. m Press button (A) once. > The turn signal lights flash three times. > The door lock display (B) flashes red.

Accident risk! Do not leave children unsuper- vised in the vehicle. They could open à door from the inside — even if it is locked — and thereby endanger them- selves or others.

How to recognise when the transmitter battery in the key will soon be spent: The turn signal lights flash 9 times in quick succession when you lock the car. Cause: > The remote control transmitter bat- tery is almost spent. > You will be able to use the remote control approx. 100 more times. Remedy: > Replace the transmitter battery! or > Have the transmitter battery re- placed by a qualified specialist workshop, such as a smart center. Environment! Always dispose of discharged transmitter batteries in an environ- mentally-friendly manner. >Notel If you fail to replace the transmitter battery, after approximately 100 presses of the remote control - you will not be able to lock or unlock the car. - you will not be able to deactivate the electronic immobiliser. - you will not be able to start the car. you will, however, be able to unlock the central locking function by opening the tailgate with the car key. LA spare transmitter battery is included as part of the standard delivery scope. 1fthe vehicle will not lock using the remote control because the battery ofthe remote control is spent: If you can no longer lock the car using the remote control and you do not have aspare transmitter battery on hand, please pro- ceed as follows: M Open the driver door. m Turn the key in the ignition switch to position 0. m Press the central locking switch (A) un- til the door lock display (B) starts to flash. m Turn the key in the ignition switch to position 1 and then finally to position

Replacing the transmitter battery Danger of poisoning! Batteries contain toxic and caus- tic substances. For this reason, keep batteries away from children. If a battery is swallowed, consult a doc- tor immediately. Swallowing a transmitter battery can cause serious health problems. 16 Blind date m Use à coin to prise open the top half of the key casing (A). >Note! Replace the remote control's transmitter battery every 2 years at the latest. Otherwise there is a danger of leakage! The remote control could be destroyed. m Take the transmitter battery (B) out of the board. m Insert the new transmitter battery, checking that the polarity is correct. > Type of battery: lithium cell CR 1225 >Note! Check the polarity when inserting the new transmitter battery. Otherwise damage may occur to parts in the electrical system. M Press both sides ofthe key casing back together again.

Adjusting the seats Adjust the driver seat to the correct po- sition relative to the pedals and the steering wheel before starting a journey. Accident risk! Only adjust the driver seat while the vehicle is stationary. You will oth- erwise be distracted from the traffic situation and the movement of the seat 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 bel to be worn correctly and that is s 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 stightly 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 à child is secured in a restraint sys tem* on this seat. - Vehicle occupants should always wear their seat belt correctiy 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. The seat is an integral part of the car's safety system in the same way as e.g. seat belts and airbags. Its safety function can only be upheld if the seats. are free of damage. Blind date 17

Longitudinal seat adjustment Accident risk! Whenever the seat has been moved forward or back, ensure that it engages properly in position, as unexpected movement or adjustment of the seat while the car is being driven could cause the driver to lose control and re- sult in an accident. Danger of injury! Do not insert your hands into the seat rail when adjusting the seat's lon- gitudinal position. This represents a considerable risk of injury. 18 Blind date m Pull up the handle (A). m Move the seat to the desired position. m Release the handle. > The locking mechanism must audibly engage on both sides. Seat height adjustment The seat guide is inclined in the hori- zontal plane. Longitudinal seat adjust- ment also alters the seat height.

Adjusting the backrest inclination m Release the backrest. m Turn handwheel (A) forwards or back- wards. >Note! Only the driver seat can be adjusted. Blind date 19

Front passenger seat, folding doun Danger of injury! Insert only suitable, sealed con- tainers in the stowage compartment. Occupants otherwise could be injured by the receptacles or their contents in the event of an accident, a sudden brak- ing manoeuvre or a rapid change of di- rection. 20 Blind date Danger of injury! Do not place any hot beverages or glass bottles in the stowage compart- ment while driving. In the event ofan accident, a sudden braking manoeuvre or a rapid change of direction, — the hot beverage can be spilt and scald you and others, - glass bottles can be flung out and in- jure you and others. Once folded down, you can use the passen- ger seat - as a storage space for small objects (A). - as extra storage space. >Notel Please note the loading regulations (see page 199) contained in these operating instructions!

‘To fold the seat down: m Remove the seat belt from its belt guide (C). m Slide the passenger seat into its cen- tre position. M Press both levers (D) backwards at the same time. > The backrest will move forward à few millimetres out of its locked posi- tion. m Release both levers. m Fold the backrest foruards. To fold back: m Pull backrest upwards and push it back into position until both levers audibly engage. m Place the seat belt back into the belt guide (C). Danger of injury! When returning the passenger backrest to its upright position, please ensure that — nobody becomes trapped, - no obstacles are jammed in the lock, — both levers audibly engage. Other- wise, in the event of an accident, a sudden application of the brakes or a rapid change of direction, the seat backrest may fail to prevent any ob- jects stored in the luggage compart- ment from being propelled forwards, exposing the occupants to the risk of injury. Blind date 21

Mirrors, adjustment Ensure that the outside and inside mir- rors are correctly set before starting a journey. Only then can the driver be sure that the view to the rear is unobstructed. Accident risk! The outside mirrors show objects reduced in size. The objects are closer than they appear. You could misinter- pret the distance to vehicles behind you and cause an accident, e.g. when changing lanes. Therefore, ensure that you are aware of the actual distance to Manually adjustable outside mirror vehicles behind you by also looking m Adjust the outside mirrors by turning over your shoulder. lever (A). 22 Blind date

Electrically adjustable outside mirror* The control knob is located on the driver door. m The outside mirrors can be infinitely adjusted by swivelling the control knob (C). Setting the adjustment side m Press the rocker switch. - Driver side (A) - Passenger side (B) >Notel The outside mirrors can only be adjusted when the ignition is switched on. Adjusting the inside rearview mirror m Set the rearview mirror to the desired position by hand. To avoid being dazzled by oncoming traf- fic when driving at night: m Deflect the inside rearview mirror by pulling lever (A). > The view to the rear is retained. Blind date 23

Power windows Opening and closing the side windows Danger of injury! Make sure that nobody can become trapped as you close a side window. If there is a risk of trapping, press the switch to open the windows. Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle. They could e.g. injure The side windows can be opened and themselves by opening and closing the closed by the electric power windows windows! when the ignition is on. To open m Press the rocker switch (A) downwards. To close m Press the rocker switch (A) upwards. >Note! The windows do not close automatically when the car is locked. 24 Blind date

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 ofinjury! 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! À 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 sromen — are always wearing their seat belt correctly. Make sure that the belt: — runs over the hip bone as low down as possible, ie. 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 bel. 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 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 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

Danger of injury! Persons under 1.50 min heightand children under tuelve 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. Aluays follow the manufacturer's installation instructions when fitting a child re- straint system*. 26 Blind date 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- formed correctiy on restraint systems (seat belts, anchorages, belt tension- ers, belt force limiters or airbags) or their wiring, as well as work on other networked electronic systems, may pre ventthe restraint systems from working correctly. Airbags or belt tensioners could e.g. fail to operate in accidents where the rate of deceleration exceeds the tripping threshold, or be activated unintentionally. Never carry out any modifications on the restraint sys tems. Never tamper with electronic components and their software.

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. Blind date 27

Seat belt height adjustment The car has three-stage seat belt height adjustment capability integrated into the seat. The seat belt can run - through the belt quide (A), - above the belt guide, - below the belt guide. >Note! Ifthe seat belt is to be run above or below the seat belt guide, the belt must be taken out of the guide. 28 Blind date Putting on the seat belts nm Take a seat. M Pull the seat belt without jerking it from the roller. m Pull the belt across your shoulder. > Your back must be leaning against the backrest. # Click the seat belt into the buckle (A). Taking off the seat belts m Press the red button on the bel buckle. m Let the belt run back into the belt guide. > The belt is automatically reeled back into the roller.

Belt tensioners and belt force limiters The seat belts are equipped with - belt tensioners, - a belt force limiter, the functions of which are explained be- low. Belt tensioners - tension the seat belts when activated, 50 that they lie tightiy across the body. - are only triggered in collisions with high vehicle deceleration/accelera- tion in the longitudinal direction, e.g. à head-on collision. > Ifthe 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 ofthe 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-

- for each three-point seat belt that is fastened properly. - in the event of a head-on or rear-end collision if the vehicle is decelerated or accelerated sufficiently in the lon- gitudinal direction at the start of im- pact. - in certain rollover situations if the need for additional protection is de- tected. Blind date 29

I£the belt tensioners are triggered, you will hear a loud noise that fundamentally represents no risk to your hearing. Some dust may be generated. Danger of injury! Have belt tensioners which have been triggered replaced at a qualified specialist workshop which has the nec- essary specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the work required. smart gmbh recommends that you visit a smart center for this, In particular, work rel- evant to safety or on safety-related systems must be carried out at a quali- fied specialist workshop. Comply with safety regulations when disposing of belt tensioners. These regulations can be viewed in every qualified specialist workshop such as a smart center. 30 Blind date

abs indicator light Accident risk! 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. If abs is deactivated due to a fault, then esp is also deactivated. The risk of your vehicle skidding is then increased in certain situations. You should therefore always adapt your driving style to suit the prevailing road and weather conditions.

The operating principle of esp and addi- tional information to this regard can be found on page 165.

esp indicator light Accident risk! If esp is no longer functioning, there is a greater risk that your car could skid in certain driving situa- tions. You should therefore always adapt your driving style to suit the prevailing road and weather condi- tions.

Airbag indicator Light The airbag indicator light signals to you that there is a fault in the safety systems of the: - Airbags - Belt tensioners - Child seat recognition system >Note! The operating principle of the airbags and additional information to this re- gard can be found starting on page 166.

Airbag indicator light Danger of injury! If the indicator light does not come on when you switch on the ignition or does not go out again after a few sec- onds once the engine is running or comes on again, there is a fault. Some systems could be triggered unin- tentionally or not be triggered at all in the event of an accident with high de- celeration. In such cases, immediately have the safety system of your vehicle checked and repaired at a qualified specialist workshop which has the nec- essary specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the work required. smart gmbh recommends that you visit a smart center for this.

40 Blind date Airbag indicator light 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- vated. This can result in the child be- 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! I£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 rearward-facing 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- ed), have the automatic restraint system detection checked by a quali- fied specialist workshop which has the necessary specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the required work. smart gmbh recommends that you visit a smart center for this. Until this problem has been rectified, do not carry children in the car, as they could sustain serious or even fatal in- juries in the event of an accident.

De-icing the windows Accident risk! Never drive with iced-over or fogged windows. Visibility will be significantly impaired and can endan- ger yourself and others. This may pre- vent you from observing the traffic conditions, thereby causing an acci- dent. Environment! OQ De-ice and dry fogged windows before starting the engine. Allowing the engine to idle when the car is at a standstill can damage the engine and pollute the environment. The most effective way to de-ice the win- dows is - to remove the ice completely from the windows manually with an ice scraper before starting the engine, - to turn the blower (A) to de-ice. - to set the air distribution (B) to the front and side windows, - to turn the heater (C) to maximum. >Important! Do not use an ice scraper to clear the side windows at the rear of the car from ice. This could cause damage to the surface of the windows. Weather outlook 101

Air conditioning plus* Accident risk! Ensure that you observe the rec ommended air conditioning system plus* settings described on the next few pages. The windows could otherwise mist up. This may prevent you from ob- serving the traffic conditions, thereby causing an accident. The air conditioning plus system im- proves the level of comfort when driving at high outside temperatures - by cooling down the air, - by dehumidifying the air. 102 Weather outlook Your heater and ventilation support the functions of the air conditioning plus system. Their operation is explained starting on page 96. In addition, an integrated combination filter* (dust, pollen and particulate fil- ter) purifies the fresh air inflow. It con- tinues to operate when the air conditioning plus system is switched off and you have switched the blower on. >Note! Operating the air conditioning plus sys- tem increases fuel consumption. >Note! Dehumidification of the air by air con- ditioning plus system prevents the win- dows from fogging when there is a high level of moisture in the air. This effect can also be used to de-ice the windows if, in addition to the air condi- tioning plus system, the heater is suitched to maximum. When will the air conditioning plus system operate? The air conditioning plus system works - only when the engine is running, only when the blower is switched on, - most effectively when the windows are closed.

Outside temperature display* Accident risk! Even if the temperature is slightly above freezing, there could still be ice on the road, particularly in wooded areas and on bridges. The vehi- cle could skid if you fail to adapt your driving style. You should therefore al- ways adapt your driving style and speed to suit the weather conditions. Environment! O Keep the windows closed when op- erating the air conditioning plus sys- tem. This will save fuel. M Press the selector knob (A) several times until the outside temperature display is activated. Please observe the following notes before suitching on the air conditioning plus system: The car's interior will cool down faster if you do the following: - Discharge the warm air. To do this, - open a window briefly, - turn the blower to its maximum setting, and - close the window once the warm air has been discharged. - Switch on the air conditioning plus system in recirculated air mode. - Switch to fresh air mode after briefly operating the system in recirculated air mode. Accident risk! Only switch over to air recircula- tion mode briefy for low outside tem peratures.

They could open the doors, release the parking brake or injure themselves on moving parts, thus endangering themselves and others. Please also observe the warnings given elsewhere in these operating instruc- tions regarding children and the vehi- cle. Danger of injury! It will not be possible to fit the seat belts correctly on chilâren under 150 centimetres tall or under 12 years of age without suitable support equip- ment. They therefore need special child restraint systems for protection in the event of an accident. 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 accident, heavy braking or sudden change in di- rection. They may be throun against parts of the vehicle interior and be se- riously or fatally injured When fitting a child restraint system, observe the manufacturer's fitting instructions. 4 Danger of injury! To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury to the child in the event of an accident, braking or sudden change in direction: - On child restraint systems that do not have their own belt system, the shoulder belt ofthe car's built-in three-point seat belt must run ap- proximately across the middle of the child's shoulder - never across the neck - and lie firmly against the up- per body. The lap section of the seat belt must run across the pelvis - not across the stomach - and always lie firmly in place. Tighten the belt if necessary. Only one child at a time should be se- cured by any child restraint system. Make sure that the belt is not trapped, twisted or rubbing against sharp edges. Also observe the operating instruc- tions for the child restraint system. Child-friendly 131

Danger of injury! If the child restraint system or its fastenings have previously been damaged or subjected to loads in an ac- cident, the child it is intended to pro- tect could sustain serious or even fatal injuries as a result of another acci- dent, braking manoeuvres or abrupt changes of direction. You should therefore have restraint systems and fastenings that have been damaged or subjected to loads in an ac- cident checked without delay in a qual- ified specialist workshop, such as à smart center, and have them replaced if necessary. 132 Child friendly Danger of injury! If the airbag indicator light does not come on when a baby carrier is fitted to the passenger seat, the pas- senger airbag has not been deactivat- ed. Ifthe passenger airbag has not been deactivated, a child could sustain se- rious or even fatal injuries in the event of the airbag on the passenger side being triggered, particularly if the child is in the immediate vicinity of the passenger airbag at the time of its activation. The passenger airbag is only deacti- vated when you fit a special smart baby carrier to the passenger seat. Danger of injury! For this reason, you should never carry a child on the passenger seat in a child restraint system that faces to the rear if the passenger airbag has not been deactivated, ie. if the airbag in- dicator light is not lit. Also observe the corresponding warn- ing sticker on the instrument panel. If you have installed an original smart baby carrier on the passenger seat and the airbag indicator light does not come on (restraint system not identi- fied), have the automatic restraint sys- tem recognition function checked without delay by a qualified specialist workshop, such as a smart center. Until this problem has been rectified, do not carry children in the car, as they could sustain serious or even fatal in- juries in the event of an accident.

Accident risk! Make sure that there is sufficient clearance around the pedals when floor mats* are used andthatthey are secure- 1y fastened. Do not keep any objects in the driver footwell. Check that the floor mats are secured and correct them if necessary before beginning a journey. An insufficiently secured floor mat could slip and ob- struct pedal actions. Do not place floor mats on top of one an- other. Accident risk! Mobile phones and two-way radio equipment that do not have a lou re- flection outside aerial may interfere with the vehicle electronics and there- by jeopardise the operational safety of the vehicle and your safety as well. Therefore, use this equipment only if it has been properly connected to a sepa- rate low reflection outside aerial. Study in motion 137

Gearshifts You change gear in your car in various ways, depending on its specification: Manual shifting (softip) Shifting between gears (+ or -) is done by tipping the softip selector out of the gearshift plane. 138 Study in motion Automated shifting (softouch}* Shifting between the gears occurs auto matically when the gearshift lever is in the gearshift plane and you press button (A). >Note! When you start the car, manual shifting (softip) is selected. Exception: Brabus ve- hicles.

The footbrake was not applied while moving the lever in the gearshift plane. Driving off uphill Your car has a hill-start assist system (ASS). When driving off uphill, your vehicle is held in place for approximately one sec- ond after you release the footbrake. As a result, you - have enough time to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator in order to accelerate. - are able to prevent the car from rolling back; this protects the clutch. m Release the footbrake. m Apply sufficient pressure to the accel- erator pedal. > The car will move off. >Note! The driving assistant is not activated if you start off with the handbrake applied. >Important! After approximately one second, the AAS stops braking the vehicle, which then can roll backwards. If you open the driver door within this time, AAS is deactivated and a warning signal sounds. Study in motion 143

Kickdown* Vehicles with softouch* or vehicles with cruise control“: Use the kick-down function when you want maximum acceleration. m Depress the accelerator past the pres- sure point. > The transmission downshifts. m Take your foot slightly off the acceler- ator once you have reached the desired speed. If you press the accelerator beyond the kick-down point to make à sports start, the clutch is not engaged until the engine has reached a higher speed.

Parking Accident risk! When you stop the car on a hill or park it, it must be secured additionally by means of the handbrake. The vehicle could otherwise set itself in motion - even with the gearshift le- ver in position R. This could result in an accident and cause serious or even fatal injuries. Accident risk! Do not park the car with the en- gine running and a gear engaged. This could allow the car to set itself in mo tion and cause an accident. Danger of injury! PIN Never leave children unsuper- vised in the vehicle. They could eg. release the handbrake This could result in an accident and cause serious or even fatal imjuries. mParkthe car. m Apply the footbrake. m Apply the handbrake. Switching off the engine m Move the gearshift lever to position R. M Wait until the display shows R. M Slowly release the footbrake. m Turn the key in the ignition switch to position 0. m Remove the ignition key. m Press the release button on the belt catch and let the belt run back by hand.

>Important! In order to ensure that the turbocharger can quickly cool down after a full-load journey, the last few kilometres should be driven at a slow pace or the engine should run in neutral for à short period prior to switching off the engine. >Note! The reverse gear R is not a runaway pro— tection device (parking lock), and if the car is parked on à hill with a steep in- cline it may still roll away. The car is only ever 100 % safe when the handbrake has been applied. 148 Study in motion

Driving in winter Atthe beginning of winter, have your ve- hicle winterised by a qualified special- ist workshop such as a smart center. Accident risk! 4 Failure to observe the notes on gear shifting and driving in winter conditions may result in diminished operating stability, e.g. the rear end could break away. lead you to cause an accident. Accident risk! On bends, even electronic sys- tems are only capable of providing a limited degree of stabilisation. AL- ways adapt your driving style to the road, traffic and weather conditions. Reduce your speed before entering a bend. You could otherwise cause an ac- cident. Accident risk! PIN The risk of an accident especial- ly increases when driving too fast, par- ticularly when cornering and on wet or. slippery roads as well as when driving too closely to the vehicle in front. Electronic control systems such as esp are unable to reduce this risk or over- ride the laws of physics. You should therefore always adapt your driving style to suit the prevailing road and weather conditions and maintain a suf- ficient distance from other road users and objects on the road. Study in motion 149

À qualified specialist workshop such as à smart center will check - the condition of your winter tyres, - the condition of the engine oil, - the concentration of anti-corrosion agent and antifreeze in the coolant, - the mixture ratio in the washer system, - the state of charge of your battery. Electronic systems (such as esp) are not able to overcome the laws of physics. 150 Study in motion Adapt your driving style and speed to the winter road conditions and exercise cau- tion when accelerating and braking. Please pay particular attention to the following notes concerning winter driving: - Use only wheels and tyres approved by smart gmbh. - Change over to winter tyres at an early date, preferably in the autumn. - Drive at low engine speeds. - Avoid extreme load reversals. - Upshift in good time (low-speed driv- ing) and take your foot off the acceler- ator pedal when shifting gears. - Avoid sudden, jerky movements of the steering wheel. Brake your car in good time before en- tering a bend.

Driving with a catalytic converter Things you need to know Danger of injury and danger of burns! The catalytic converter can get extremely hot. Coming into contact with it could result in burns. Note the following: - Do not remove the protective heat guards. = Do not apply any underseal. - When parking the car, make sure that the catalytic converter cannot come into contact with any flammable ma- terial (e.g. hay or grass). It could otherwise ignite and cause fire dam- age or injury. - The catalytic converter reduces ex- haust emissions. - The catalytic converter is located at the rear of the car. - Fill up with lead-free petrol only. Even small quantities of leaded petrol can damage the catalytic converter. It is essential to heed the following points, as there is otherwise a danger of overheating and the catalytic converter may be damaged. - Make sure you adhere to the prescribed service intervals. - Never run the fuel tank empty. - Ifthe engine starts to misfire, bring the car to an immediate standstill without endangering traffic. - Ifthe engine fails to start the first time, you should not try to start it any more than three times in succession. Do not run the starter motor for periods of more than 4 seconds at a time. Study in motion 151

Driving tips The following tricks will help you to save a substantial amount of fuel with your car. Not only will you reduce your operating costs; you also will be helping to protect the environment.

The following holds true for traffic lights, rail barriers and when sitting in tailbacks: always switch the engine off, as you only need to be stopped for 10 sec onds to save money. >Important! Make sure when you are about to drive off again that - the selector lever is set to position N, - the footbrake is applied, - the gear indicator is displaying an N. 152 Study in motion

Driving off expends considerably more energy than driving at a constant speed. So when starting off, drive for no more than two vehicle lengths (approx. 5 m)in 1st gear and accelerate briskly with the throttle at least three quarters of the way down.

Shift gears in good time when the gear indicator in the display advises you to do

4. Keep on running, look ahead

Frequent braking followed by accelerat- ing will cause your car to use up dis- tinctly more fuel than otherwise. For this reason you should keep your distance from the vehicle in front and ease off the accelerator in good time whenever possi- ble.

It is always better to let the vehicle roll with the transmission in gear and to ap- ply no gas than to roll in neutral. This way, fuel consumption is zero (decelera- tion fuel shutoff).

Correct tyre pressures help save fuel, in- crease tyre service life and improve braking safety. Tyre inflation pressures are given on the inside of the fuel tank flap for various load and climate condi- tions.

Mounted top carriers, bicycle carriers and ski boxes will increase air resis- tance and in turn the fuel consumption of your car. When they are not absolutely necessary you should dismantle them.

Unnecessary articles stored in the lug- gage compartment will also increase fuel consumption. Remove unnecessary loads from the luggage compartment from time to time.

9. The perfect setting

Have your car checked regularly by a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. in a smart center. Do not exceedthe scheduled service intervals. Environment! Q Do not let the engine warm up and switch off the engine when waiting in traffic for extended periods. This will save energy and help to protect the en- vironment. Study in motion 153

Cruise control* From a speed of 30 km/h, the cruise con- trol allows you to specify a speed that you would like to maintain, e.g. in order to comply with speed limits. The cruise control then automatically maintains this speed. The cruise control is activated using the right control lever. >Important! Pressing the button on the control lever once or pushing the brake pedal will im- mediately deactivate the cruise control function and activate the limiter func- tion. 154 Study in motion Accident risk! Only set the saved speed ifitis safe to do so. Otherwise, sudden accel- eration or braking could endanger yourself or others. Labels on the control lever - SET: for setting - CONT: for continuing - CANCEL MODE: clears operating mode Accident risk! The cruise control is intended solely as an aid to easier driving. You are responsible for the vehicle's speed and for braking in good time. Cruise control is unable to take account of the road and traffic conditions. Do not use cruise control: — in road and traffic conditions which do not allow you to maintain a con- stant speed (e.g. heavy traffic or winding roads). You could otherwise cause an accident. on slippery road. The drive wheels could lose traction when braking or accelerating and the vehicle could skid. - when there is poor visibility, eg. due to fog, heavy rain or snow.

Deactivating the cruise control The cruise control is switched off: - when braking. - when the esp system is in operation. - when the control lever is pressed one time. The driving speed last set with the cruise control is stored. >Note! The speed last memorised is erased when you turn off the engine. 156 Study in motion Resuming the stored driving speed If you would like to resume the stored driving speed: m Turn the ring switch at the end of the control lever towards [fj > The car is automatically accelerated or braked to the speed last memo- rised.

Speed limiter* The speed limiter enables you to specify any permissible speed from 30 km/h as your speed limit, but to vary the speed up to this limit by accelerating and brak- ing. The speed limiter function can only be set if the engine is running. The speed limiter is activated using the right control lever. >Important! Pressing the button on the control lever once will immediately deactivate the limiter function and activate the cruise control function. Suitching on the speed limiter m Press the control lever for approx. 2 seconds. > The speed limiter is now switched on. > "LIM" and a speed value appear in the display. Using for the first time When you use the function - for the first time, - for the first time since the battery has been reconnected, three horizontal dashes appear which flash in conjunction with "LIM". m Turn the ring switch towards [M. > The speed limiter function is switched on. > The display shows a speed that can be changed with the ring switch. Study in motion 157

Setting the speed limit m Turn the ring switch towards Bt set the speed limit. > The speed changes in increments of 5 km/h. 158 Study in motion Driving with a speed limiter You can accelerate your vehicle up to the set speed limit. The engine is governed as soon as it reaches the upper limit. Exceeding the specified limit speed The specified speed limit may be ex- ceeded if - the car is accelerated while travelling dounhill, - you reduce the set speed limit using the ring switch, when your actual speed is higher than the new speed. Ifthe specified speed limit is exceeded by at least 10 km/h, - à warning signal sounds, - the speed limiter display starts to flash. These warning signals cease once the set speed limit has been reached. Temporarily switching off the speed limiter In certain situations it may be necessary to temporarily switch off the speed lim- iter. M Press the control lever once. > The speed limiter function is switched off. > Only "LIM" appears in the display.

Reactivating the speed limit You can reactivate the speed limit at any driving speed. m Turn the ring switch touards EJ. > The speed limit last stored re-ap- pears in the display. >Note! The last speed selected for the speed limiter is stored when you switch off the engine. It can be called up directly the next time the engine is started. >Note! If you activate the kick-down function with the accelerator, the speed limiter function is switched off for safety rea- sons. You can exceed the specified Himit if the situation requires. Switching off the speed limiter m Press the control lever for 2 seconds. > The speed limiter is now switched off. > The cruise control is switched on. Study in motion 159

Brakes Handbrake Danger of injury! (Ne one vised in the vehicle. They could re- lease the hand brake. This could result in an accident and cause serious or even fatal injuries. 160 Study in motion Accident risk! Secure the vehicle against roll- ing away by pulling the hand brake. The vehicle could otheruise set itself in motion - even with the gearshift le- ver in position R - and cause an acci- dent. The handbrake serves to secure the car against rolling away when it is station- ary or parked. Operating the handbrake M Pull the lever upards. > The lever engages automatically when pulled up. Releasing the handbrake m Lift the lever up slightiy. M Push lock knob (A). m Push the lever down.

Footbrake Danger of injury! The movement of the pedals must not be impaired in any way. Do not keep any objects in the driver footwell. Make sure that there is sufficient clearance around the pedals when floor. mats or carpets are used. Always activate the handbrake when parking. Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle. They could move the gear lever and the vehicle could roll away on uphill or downhill gradients. | nn & The footbrake has two brake circuits that are independent of each other. À brake servo is used during braking (when the engine is running) to increase pedal force. Accident risk! Considerably more effort will be required to apply the brakes if - the brake servo has failed, - a brake circuit has failed, - the engine is switched off, e.g. for towing away. The braking distance is likewise greater. Make sure that the engine is running whenever the vehicle is rolling. Have the brake system repaired by a quali- fied specialist workshop, e.g. a smart center, if there is a fault in the brake system. Study in motion 161

If a brake circuit fails (see "Brake sys- tem faults", page 164), - you must press the brake pedal further down to achieve the same effect, - the braking distance is longer. m Immediately park your car away from moving traffic. M Secure your car against rolling away if you have to leave it. M Do not drive any further. M Call à breakdown recovery service such as smartmove Assistance or à qualified specialist workshop such as a smart center. 162 Study in motion >Note! The brake servo will function only with the engine switched on. Accident risk! In the event of the car needing to be towed, a significantly greater amount of pedal pressure will be re- quired when the engine is switched off. The mechanical-acoustic brake pad display The car is equipped with a mechanical- acoustic brake pad display. If you can hear à continuous noise from the front axle when braking, you should take the car to a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart center. Hydraulic brake assistant The hydraulic brake assistant is activat- ed in emergency braking situations. When you quickly depress the brake pedal (but without applying sufficient force), the hydraulic brake assistant automati- cally amplifies the brake force, thereby decreasing the braking distance. m Depress and hold the brake pedal until the emergency braking situation has passed. > abs will prevent the wheels from locking up. > When you release the brake pedal, the brakes will function as they normal- 1y would. > The hydraulic brake assistant is then deactivated.

Anti-lock braking system (abs) Accident risk! The risk of an accident especial- ly increases when driving too fast, par- ticularly when cornering and on wet or slippery roads as well as when driving +00 closely to the vehicle in front. abs and esp 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 main- tain a sufficient distance from other road users and objects on the road. The anti-lock braking system (abs) pre- vents the braked wheels from blocking. Steering control is retained and you can therefore take evasive action to avoid obstacles. >Important! - The abs system has intervened when the brake pedal starts to pulsate. - abs is only effective during emergency braking manoeuvres when at least one wheel starts to lock up. Braking using abs In emergency situations: M Ouickly depress the brake pedal as hard as you can. m Steer around the obstacle. > The vehicle remains under control. >Note! Continue to apply the brakes even when the pedal starts to pulsate. This way you will achieve maximum deceleration. Study in motion 163

Faults in the brake system À brake system fault has occurred if the brake system indicator light - does not go out after releasing the handbrake. - comes on when the car is in motion. - comes on at the same time as the abs in- dicator light. In allthree cases m Immediately park your car away from moving traffic. M Secure your car against rolling away if you have to leave it. M Do not drive any further. M Call à breakdown recovery service such as smartmove Assistance or à qualified specialist workshop such as a smart center. 164 Study in motion

Faults in the abs system An abs malfunction has occurred if the abs indicator light - does not go out again when the engine has started or within 10 seconds of hav- ing started (case 1). _ comes on when the car is in motion (abs emergency) (case 2). - comes on together with the brake indi- cator light (abs malfunction) (case 3). In cases 1 and2 m Take the car to a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart center, without delay. In case 3 = Imnediately park your car away from moving traffic. = Secure your car against rolling away if you have to leave it. M Do not drive any further. M Call a breakdown recovery service such as smartmove Assistance or à qualified specialist workshop such as a smart center.

Electronic Stability Program (esp) How esp works Accident risk! In critical driving situations, esp stabilises the car's response sub- ject to the laws of physics. On no account can the system be expect- ed to help prevent accidents if the car's speed is too high or the driver is reckless. As such, always adapt your driving style to the prevailing road and weather con- ditions. The car is equipped with the Electronic Stability Program (esp) as standard. esp monitors the driving stability and trac- tion, ie. the transmission of power be- teen the tyres and the road. Accident risk! If the esp warning light in the instrument cluster flashes, proceed as follows: = Only depress the accelerator pedal as far as necessary when pulling away. m Accelerate less when driving. m Adapt your driving style to the road, traffic and weather conditions. Otherwise the vehicle could begin to skid. esp is unable to reduce the risk of an accident if you are driving too fast. esp actively intervenes in the following driving situations: - Evasive action if you suddenly encoun- ter an obstruction - Excessive cornering speeds - Spinning of the driven wheels when moving away >Note! The indicator light in the instrument cluster flashes while esp is active. esp detects when à wheel spins and when the vehicle starts to skid.

Airbags Airbags reduce the severity of injuries in serious collisions, e.g. in a head-on collision or a side impact. The airbag system consists of - driver airbag (A), - passenger airbag (B), - side airbags* (C), - airbag indicator light (D). 166 Study in motion Danger of injury! In conjunction with a correctly fastened seat belt, airbags afford ad- ditional protective potential. Howev- er, they are no substitute for the seat belts. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries in an accident involving rap- id deceleration, e.g. with an airbag inflating within a matter of millisec- onds, or ifthe 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's seat position must allow the vehicle to be driven safely. The driver's arms must be slightly bent when holding the steering wheel. The driver must maintain à distance from the pedals that allows him to depress these fully. Choose a seat position that is as far as possible from the front airbag but nevertheless allows you to maintain control of the car reliably. — Vehicle occupants should always wear. their seat belt correctly and posi- tion their backrest as close to the vertical as possible. The head re- straint should support the back of your head at about eye level. Position the front passenger seat as far back as possible, particularly if children wearing child restraint systems* are secured to it. — Excluding the smart baby carrier, do not secure rearward-facing child seats on the passenger seat, as doing So will not disable the passenger front airbag. Forward-facing child restraint systems may only be fitted +o the front passenger seat if it is moved to its rearmost position, Do not lean forward, e.g. over the cushioned pad on the steering wheel, particularly 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 inside of the steering wheel.

In view of the unavoidably high infla- tion speed of the airbag, the possibil- ity of injuries when an airbag inflates cannot be entirely ruled out. The inflated airbag slows down and re- duces the movement ofthe occupant. When the occupant makes contact with the air- bag, hot gas flows out of the inflated front airbags and side airbags. This re- duces the load on the occupant's head and upper body. These airbags are conse- quently deflated after the accident. >Note! 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. Study in motion 167

Danger of injury! After an airbag has been trig- gered: — airbag components will be hot. Do not touch them, or you could be burned - the airbags must be changed by a qualified specialist workshop, which will have the necessary exper- tise and tools for performing the work involved. smart gmbh recom- mends that you visit a smart center for this. In particular, work relevant to safety or on safety-related sys- tems must be carried out at a quali- fied specialist workshop. 168 Study in motion Danger of injury! À small amount of powder is re leased when an airbag inflates. This powder is not hazardous to health and does not indicate that there is a fire in the vehicle. The powder could cause short-term breathing difficulties in people with asthma or breathing prob- lems. To avoid these breathing diffi- culties, such persons should either leave the car immediately (provided it is safe to do so) or open the window to let fresh air in. Danger of injury! For safety reasons, smart gmbh recommends that you use seat covers that have been tested for use in smart vehicles and which are fitted with a special tear seam for side airbags. À side airbag could otherwise fail to de- ploy correctly and achieve its intended protective potential in the event of an accident. These covers can be obtained at a smart center, for example.

Driver airbag/front passenger airbag The front airbags are intended to in- crease the prospects of protecting the driver and front passenger against inju- ries to the head or thorax. The front air- bags for the driver and front passenger are activated: - at the start of an accident with high vehicle deceleration or acceleration in the longitudinal direction, - ifthere is the prospect of supplement- ing the protective potential of the seat belt, - ifthe seat belt is in use, independently of other airbags in the car being deployed, the airbags are not activated in the event of a rollover, unless high vehicle deceleration in the longitudinal di- rection is detected. The front passenger front airbag is only activated if - the front passenger seat is in use or occupied, - the front passenger front airbag has not been manually disabled. Danger of injury! If the airbag indicator light does not come on when a baby carrier is fitted to the passenger seat, the pas senger airbag has not been deactivat- ed. I£the passenger airbag has not been deactivated, a child could sustain se- rious or even fatal injuries in the event of the airbag on the passenger side being triggered, particularly if the child is in the immediate vicinity of the passenger airbag at the time of its activation. The passenger airbag is only deacti- vated when you fit an original smart baby carrier to the passenger's seat. Side airbags* Danger of injury! 4 To minimise the risk of injury if à side airbag deploys, you should en- sure that - there are no other persons, animals or objects between the vehicle occu- pants and the inflation range of the side airbag. only lightweight garments are hung from the clothes hooks in the car. there are no heavy or sharp objects in the pockets of items of clothing. Study in motion 169

Danger of injury! Observe the following notes to reduce the risk of serious or fatal in- juries if the side airbag deploys: - Occupants - particularly children - should never rest their head on the area around the window from which the side airbag could emerge if de- ployed. _ Vehicle occupants must always wear their seat belt correctly and posi- tion their backrest as close to the vertical as possible, Always secure children under 150 centimetres tall and under twelve years of age with suitable child re- straint systems. 170 Study in motion The side airbags are integrated into the driver and front passenger seat back- rests. If activated, they are intended to increase the potential protection for the thorax (but notthe head, neck and arms) of the occupants on the side of the car that is struck. The side airbags are activated: - on the side of the car that is struck, - at the start of an accident with high vehicle deceleration or acceleration acting in a lateral direction, e.g. a side impact, - if there is the prospect of supplement- ing the protective potential of the seat bel, - ifthe seat belt is in use, independently of the front airbags be- ing deployed, - independently of the belt tensioner, - in situations excluding a rollover, un- less high vehicle deceleration acting in the transverse direction is detect- ed, coupled with the prospect of sup- plementing the protective potential. >Note! In the event of a side impact, the side airbags will only deploy when the airbag indicator light does not flash or illumi- nate. Danger of injury! Ifthe airbag indicator light does not come on when a baby carrier is fitted to the passenger seat, the side airbag has not been deactivated. If the side airbag has not been deactivated, a child could sustain serious or even fa- tal injuries in the event of the side airbag being triggered, particularly if the child is in the immediate vici ity of the side airbag at the time ofits activation. The side airbag is only deactivated when you fit a special smart baby car- rier to the passenger seat.

Airbag indicator Light The airbag indicator light signals to you that there is à fault in one or more of the following safety systems: - airbag, - belt tensioners, - child seat recognition system. The airbag indicator light comes on after switching the ignition on. The subsequent self-diagnosis of the safety systems yields the following re- sults:

1. The airbag indicator light goes out

after à maximum of 4 seconds. > No fault detected. > The airbag system is OK.

2. The airbag indicator light flashes

for 15 seconds, then illuminates per- manentiy: > À smart baby carrier (original smart accessory) was identified on the passenger seat. > The passenger airbag, passenger's bel tensioner and the passenger side airbag are deactivated.

3. The airbag indicator light goes out

after a maximum of 4 seconds for ap- proximately 1 second, then it comes on again and stays on. > A fault was detected (airbag warn- ing).

The airbag indicator light flashes permanently. > A fault was detected in the child seat recognition system (airbag warning). M Do not sit on the front passenger seat; this applies in particular to children. m Take the car to a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart center. Danger of injury! 1£ the airbag indicator light does not come on when a baby carrier is fitted to the passenger seat, the pas- senger airbag has not been deactivat- ed. Ifthe passenger airbag has notbeen deactivated, a child could sustain se- rious or even fatal injuries in the event of the airbag on the passenger side being triggered, particularly if the child is in the immediate vicinity of the passenger airbag at the time of its activation. The passenger airbag is only deacti- vated when you fit an original smart baby carrier to the passenger's seat. Study in motion 171

Danger of injury! For this reason, you should never carry a child on the passenger seat in a child restraint system that faces to the rear if the passenger airbag has not been deactivated, Le. if the airbag in- dicator light is not lit. Also observe the corresponding warn- ing sticker on the instrument panel. If you have installed an original smart baby carrier on the passenger seat and the airbag indicator light does not come on (restraint system not identi- fied), have the automatic restraint sys- tem recognition function checked without delay by a qualified specialist workshop, such as a smart center. Until this problem has been rectified, do not carry children in the car, as they could sustain serious or even fatal in- juries in the event of an accident.

172. Study in motion

Important! If the airbag indicator light comes on during a journey, take the car to a quali- fied specialist workshop, e.g. a smart center, without delay. Itis possible that the airbag and the belt tensioner could be activated uninten- tionally or will not function in the event of an accident. Danger of injury! If the indicator light does not come on when you switch on the ignition or does not go out again after a feu sec- onds once the engine is running or comes on again, there is a fault. Some systems could be triggered unin- tentionally or not be triggered at allin the event of an accident with high de- celeration. In such cases, immediately have the safety system of your vehicle checked and repaired at a qualified specialist workshop which has the nec- essary specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the work required. smart gmbh recommends that you visit a smart center for this. In particular, work rel- evant to safety or on safety-related systems must be carried out at a quali- fed specialist workshop.

Accident risk! The manufacturer has not ap- proved your car for towing a trailer. À trailer can permanently impair driv- ing safety and reliability. Danger of accident injury! PIN No support beams or loads may be secured to the roof of the vehicle, — as the glass roof (if equipped) could be destroyed and possibly injure the vehicle's occupants. - as this can have a substantial ad- verse effect on the driving dynamics of the vehicle, thus provoking acci- dents. 200 Loading up Reduced payload Optional extras and accessories increase the curb weight, which in turn reduce payload. Mounting a base carrier, bicycle carrier and a ski carrier at the rear ofthe car will result in the manufacturer's axle load distribution changing. Please study the operating instructions for each individual accessory part! You must observe the following: - Your car's handling characteristics are dependent upon the load distribu- tion. Do not exceed the permissible gross vehicle weight and permissible axle load by loading too much into the car (take occupants into account). - Do not stack loads higher than the top edge of the head restraints. - Make sure that loaded articles are properly secured. - When loading, put the heavy items at the bottom and the light ones on top. To transport heavy or small items safe- y, you should use the original smart divider accessory which is installed between the luggage and passenger compartments.

Danger of injury! Always lash down the load. It could otherwise be thrown forward in the event of an abrupt braking manoeu- vre, a sudden change in direction or an accident and cause serious or even fa- tal injuries to occupants. Accident risk! The permissible gross vehicle weight and the permissible axle load must not be exceeded by the payload {interior and roof rack), including the occupants. Overloading or incorrectiy loading the vehicle impairs driving stability, and the altered road behav- jour could result in tyre damage! This poses the risk of accidents. Danger of injury! Transport heavy or hard objects in the luggage compartment, not the passenger compartment. Vehicle occu- pants could be injured by objects being thrown around in the vehicle in the event of: - Severe braking - A change of direction - An accident Danger of poisoning! à Keep the tailgate closed while the vehicle is in motion. Otherwise, exhaust fumes could get into the vehi- cle interior and poison you. Environment! Do not carry any unnecessary bal last. Unnecessary ballast increases ve- hicle weight and fuel consumption.

They may lead to increased wear or engine damage. À qualified specialist workshop such as à smart center will be able to provide fur- ther details. Engine oil viscosity The SAE class (viscosity) has to be chosen in accordance with the average outside air temperature for each current season. Exact adherence to the SAE classes ac- cording to the outside temperatures would, however, necessitate frequent oil changes. The temperature limits for the SAE classes therefore should be viewed as guidelines which can be temporarily ex- ceeded or undercut. Environment! When topping up the oil, take care not to spill any. Oil must not be allowed to escape into the soil or wa- terways. You would otherwise be damag- ing the environment. Part-time jobs 209

Checking operating fluids If you open the service screen (A), you can check the fluid levels for the - coolant (B), - windscreen washer system (D), = brake fluid (C). Check the fill levels at regular intervals. 210 Part-time jobs Before checking the fluid levels M Park the car on a level surface. m Switch both the engine and ignition off. m Apply the handbrake. >Important! Free the service screen carefully from snow and any other forms of dirt to ensure air intake at all times.

Opening the service screen Danger of injury! Always switch off the ignition and remove the ignition key before opening the service screens.

LI A Checking the coolant level Danger of injury! The cooling system is pres- surised. Therefore, only unscrew the cap once the engine has cooled down. Allow it to cool down for at least 30 minutes. You could otherwise be scalded by escaping hot coolant. 212 Part-time jobs Itis necessary to check the coolant level to ensure that the engine does not over- heat. >Important! The cooling system is maintenance free under normal operating conditions. À drop in the coolant level indicates leak- age. If you are losing coolant - Top up the coolant. - Have the reason for the loss of coolant investigated by a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart center. Checking the coolant level m Let the radiator cool down for at least 30 minutes. M Cover the cap for the coolant expansion reservoir with a cloth before touching it. = Turn the cap one complete revolution in order to allow the excess pressure to escape. = Unscrew the cap and remove it. m Look down into the reservoir for a vi- sual check. > In the reservoir, there are tro ridges of different heights. - The longer one (A) indicates the maximun filling level. - The shorter one (B) indicates the minimum filling level. Topping up the coolant m You should only top up the coolant as far as the maximum filling level. m Replace the cap and tighten when fin- ished. >Note! Warm water expands, which is why it may extend beyond the maximun illing level.

Topping up the windscreen washer system The windscreen washer reservoir has an approximate capacity of 3 litres. Fire hazard! Windscreen washer concentrate is highly lammable. Fire, naked flames and smoking are prohibited when windscreen washer concentrate is being handled. m Pull the filler neck upwards out of its holder. m Pull up the reservoir cap at the tab. > You can now add washer fluid. >Note!

Checking the brake fluid Accident risk! If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too low, vapour bubbles could form in the brake system when the brakes are subjected to high loads (e.g. when driving down mountain pass- es). This would impair braking effi- ciency. Have the brake fluid changed every two years! 214 Part-time jobs A constant fluid level is necessary to en- sure that the car's brake system remains in perfect working order. >Important! Have the brake fluid topped up only by a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. in à smart center. Checking the brake fluid level = Look down into the reservoir for a vi- sual check. > The fluid level must lie between the MIN and MAX marks. m the level is slightly below the MIN mark, take your car to a qualified spe- cialist workshop, e.g. a smart center. m the level is significantly below the MIN mark, call a breakdown recovery service, e.g. smartmove Assistance or à qualified specialist workshop, such as a smart center.

Tyre inflation pressure Tyres are a particularly important aspect of the car's operating safety and road- worthiness, For this reason, you must check the tyre inflation pressure, tyre tread and tyre condition on a regular ba- sis. Accident risk! If the inflation pressure of a tyre falls repeatedly, - inspect the tyre for foreign objects. - check whether the tyre is punctured or the valve is leaking. Accident risk! Insufficient tyre pressure leads excessive tyre heat build-up, increased tyre wear and an increased risk of causing an accident due to tyre pressure loss and changes to driving stability, - increased fuel consumption. High tyre pressure leads to - a longer brake distance, - poorer traction from all tyres and - increased, uneven wear. ‘Tyres that are inflated too high are moreover more susceptible to damage and therefore increase the general risk of accidents. Accident risk! Always inflate your car's tyres to the specified pressures. The tempera- ture and pressure ofthe tyres rise dur ing operation. For this reason, never reduce the tyre pressure of tyres while warm. The pressure of the tyres would then be too low once they had cooled down. If tyre inflation pressure is too low, tyres could be damaged, particu- larly if the car is carrying a high load and is travelling at high speed. Tyre damage could e.g. result in a tyre bursting, causing you to lose control over your car; you or others could be injured as a result. You should therefore check the tyre in- flation pressure regularly, but at least every 14 days. Part-time jobs 215

Wiper blades To have a clear view of things, wiper blades that are in perfect shape are absolutely indispensable, clean the wiper blades regularly with a cleaner and remove any tough dirt stains with a sponge or brush. >Note! Original smart wiper blades for your car are available from a qualified special- ist workshop, e.g. a smart center. Changing the wiper blades Danger of injury! PIN Remove the key from the ignition lock before replacing the wiper blades. The windscreen wipers could otherwise be set in motion and injure you. 218 Part-time jobs m Take the keys out of the ignition switch. » Fold the wiper blade arm up and turn the wiper blade until it is horizontal. m Press the retaining spring (A). m Slide the wiper blade off the end of the wiper arm (B). m Remove the used wiper blade. » Slide the new wiper blade onto the wip- er blade arm (C). > The retaining spring must audibly engage in the wiper arm.

Only use the tyre sealant in outside temperatures ranging from -20 °C to +60 °C. Do not remove any foreign objects such as nails or screws that have pene- trated the tyre. Do not use the tyre sealant if the tyre has been damaged by being driven when insufficiently inflated (e.g. bumps, cuts, cracks etc. on the tyre). Allow escaped tyre sealant to dry, then peel it off. Immediately wash all painted surfaces that came into contact with the tyre sealant using à damp cloth. Do not allow the tyre sealant to get into your eyes! Do not swallow the tyre sealant! Allow the tyre sealant that is inside the damaged tyre to dry and dispose of to- gether with the tyre. Do not use the tyre sealant after the "use by" date (see reverse of bottle)!

Danger of injury! Do not allow the tyre sealant to come into contact with the skin, eyes or clothing! - If the tyre sealant comes into contact with the eyes, thoroughly rinse them immediately with clean water. - Immediately change out of any clothes contaminated with the tyre sealant. - If an allergic reaction occurs, con- sult a doctor immediately. Danger of poisoning! FN Keep the tyre sealant away from children. - Ifthe tyre sealant was swallowed, im- mediately rinse out mouth thoroughly and drink plenty of water. - Do not induce vomiting. Consult a doctor immediately. - Do not inhale tyre sealant fumes. Accident risk! Your safety is particularly at risk in the following cases, where the tyre sealant will be unable to repair the tyre: — Ifthere are cuts or punctures in the tyre greater than 4 mm — Ifthe rimis damaged - Ifthe disc wheel is damaged = If you have been driving on tyres with very little or no air Do not drive any further. Consult à qualified specialist workshop which has the necessary specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the work re- quired. smart gmbh recommends that you visit a smart center for this.

Tyres and wheels General information In the interests of safety, smart gmbh recommends that you use tyres that it has specially approved for your car. These ty- res have been chosen to suit control sys- tems such as abs and esp. If you use other tres, smart gmbh is unable to accept any responsibility for damage resulting from their use. Information on tyresis available from any qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart center. 244 Communications breakdoun If you are using tyres that have not been tested and recommended by smart gmbh, their characteristics such as road behav- iour, noise and wear rate etc. could be poorer. Dimensional deviations and a change in the way the tyres are compressed under load during operation could in addition cause them to rub against the body or axle components. This could result in damage to the tyre or vehicle. smart gmbh neither tests nor recommends the use of retreaded tyres. The prelimi- nary stages of damage cannot always be detected on tyres that are being retreat- ed. smart gmbh is therefore unable to guarantee driving safety with retreaded tyres. Accident risk! Only use wheels o£the dimensions stated in the vehicle registration doc- uments. If other wheel sizes are used: - The wheel brakes or chassis compo- nents could be damaged. - Clearance between the wheels and ty- res is no longer assured. Modifications to the brake system and wheels and the use of spacer and brake dust rings are not permissible. In both cases the vehicle's operating approval will be nullified.

Please note in particular: - Use only tyres and wheels of the same type and make. - Fit only the correct type oftyre on each wheel. - Where à car has the same size of wheel at the front and rear, only switch tyres between the front and rear axles (RF to RR; LF to LR). Fit new tyres on the rear wheels. - Break in new tyres at moderate speeds for the first 100 kilometres. - Check tyres and wheels regularly for damage. Damaged wheels could result in a loss of pressure from and damage to the tyres. = Do not use tyres with an excessively low tread. Below a tread depth of 3 millimetres, grip will deteriorate sharply on wet roads. Summer tyres with a tread depth of 3 millimetres and win- ter tyres with a tread depth of less than 4 millimetres must therefore be re- placed without fail. - Change the tyres after no later than six years, irrespective of the level of wear. The same applies to the spare wheel. >Note! Store tyres in a cool, dry and preferably dark place when not fitted to the car. Pro tect the tyres against oil, grease and fuel. Never clean the tyres with high-pressure equipment. Your tyres could otherwise be damaged. Operating safety and roadworthiness Tyres are a particularly important aspect of the car's operating safety and road- worthiness. For this reason, check the tyre inflation pressure, tyre tread and tre condition at regular intervals. A tyre specialist shop or a qualified spe- cialist workshop, such as à smart center, will be able to supply further information on: - tyre load capacity (LL load index), speed index (maximum permitted oper- ating speed of a tyre), - tyre age, - the causes and consequences of tyre wear, measures to take in the event of tyre damage, tyre types for particular regions, oper- ating areas or operating conditions of the vehicle. scope for converting tyres, etc. Communications breakdown 245

Tyre condition Check tyres at regular intervals, e.g. for: - external damage, - ageing, - foreign bodies in the tread, - cracks, bulges, - one-sided or irregular tread wear. Tyre tread Do not undercut the minimum tread depth of 3 millimetres for summer tyres and 4 millimetres for winter tyres. Along with increasing tyre wear, the tyres' grip and car's handling characteristics deteriorate, particularly on wet or snow covered roads. You should therefore change tyres before they undercut the minimum tread depth. You should measure the tread depth with a tread depth gauge, available from à qual- ified specialist workshop such as a smart center. 246 Communications breakdoun Wear indicators integrated into the edge of the tread provide an additional visual sign as to whether the tyres need to be changed or not. These indicators, howev- er, do not form narrow, continuous pat- terns until the depth of the remaining tread to the base of the tread groove has reached 1.6 millimetres (1/16 in). If you can see this indicator, the tyre must be replaced without delay. Accident risk! Always make sure the tyre tread is adequate. Too shallow a tyre tread will reduce the tyres' grip considerably and increase the risk of aquaplaning on wet or slushy roads and at high speeds. The tyre's tread will then no longer be able +o cut through the water. You could lose control of your vehicle, cause an acci- dent and injure yourself or others. Accident risk! Note that cracks, bulges or exter- nal damage could cause the tyre to burst. You could lose control over your vehicle as a result, cause an accident and injure yourself or others. AL tyres exhibiting such defects must be re- placed without delay. ‘Tyres continue to age even if they are used little or not at all. The operating safety and roadworthiness of all tyres gradually decreases. You should there- fore replace tyres that were manufac- tured more than six years ago. The date of production is indicated in the DOT number, which is displayed on the side of every tyre. Since 2000, the last two digits denote the tyre's year of produc- tion, preceded by two digits indicating the tyre's week of production (WWYY).

‘Tyre damage Tyre damage may be caused e.g. by: - the vehicle's operating conditions, - curbs, - foreign bodies, - inadequate tyre inflation pressure, - weather and environmental factors, contact with oils, greases, fuels, etc. PE Org Interchanging wheels Driving over curbs or sharp- edged objects can cause damage to the PRE rT tyre's carcass that is not externally visible. Damage to the tyre's carcass will only become evident much later and may result in tyre damage. You could lose control of your vehicle as a result and cause an accident which could injure yourself or others. Do not interchange the front and rear wheels as they have different di- mensions, e.g. rim size, wheel offset etc. Clean the contact surface of the wheels and brake disc/inner side of the wheel each time the wheels are changed. Check the tyre inflation pressure. Accident risk! Never clean tyres with high- pressure equipment. This could lead to tyre damage and failure. You could con sequently cause an accident or injure yourself or other persons. Communications breakdoun 247

Changing a wheel Accident risk! Exceeding the quoted tyre load capacity and the permissible speed limit can result in tyre damage or tyre failure. You could lose control over your vehicle and cause an accident, in- juring yourself or others as a result. Only use wheels of the dimensions stat- ed in the vehicle registration docu- ments. Please note in particular the customer-specific approval regula- tions for tyres. These regulations may specify the use of a particular tyre type for your car, or. prohibit the use of certain tyre types that are permitted in other countries. 248 Communications breakdoun The use of a particular type of tyre may moreover be recommended for certain regions and areas of use. Information on tyres is available from à qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart center. Accident risk! Have the tightening torque checked after every wheel change at a qualified specialist workshop which has the necessary specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the work re- quired. smart gmbh recommends that you visit a smart center for this. In particular, work relevant to safety or on safety-related systems must be car- ried out at a qualified specialist workshop. The wheels could work loose if they are not tightened to a torque of 110 Nm. For safetyreasons, smart gmbhrecommends using only the appropriate wheel bolts approved by smart.

Tips on battery care — Your car's battery requires no mainte- nance in normal vehicle operation (DIN 43539/T2). However, have the battery's charge status and acid level checked at the start of the cold season by a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. à smart cen- ter. — The battery stoppers on the top must be opened to check the acid level. Acid must come up to MAX mark. - Ifthe car is used almost exclusively for short tips, recharge the battery ap- proximately every three months. This will preserve your vehicles startability and prolong the battery's operating life. Disconnect the car's battery for ex tended periods of non-use and re- charge approximately every six months. Ifthe car is left for extended periods of time (three to four weeks) with the bat- tery still connected, it must be re- charged. Communications breakdoun 255

Jump starting If your battery is flat and the car will not start, another vehicle may be able to help you start. Start your car's engine with the aid of - jumper cables and - the battery of the assisting vehicle. Observe the following instructions when doing this. Danger of injury! There is a risk of acid burns when jump-starting a vehicle or recharging the battery due to escaping gases. Therefore, do not lean over the battery. 256 Communications breakdoun Danger of explosion! Gases escaping from the battery during jump-starting may cause minor explosions. Avoid creating sparks. Keep naked flames away from the bat- tery and do not smoke. Comply with safety precautions and take protective measures when han dling batteries . Things you need to know - Only use batteries with identically rated voltages (12 volt). - Ensure that the capacity of the battery in the assisting vehicle is not signifi- cantly lower than that of the discharged battery. - Use jumper cables of a suitable cross- section and insulated cable clamps; these are available from à qualified workshop, such as a smart center. Ensure that the vehicles do not contact each other. Position the jumper cables such that they cannot be caught by rotating parts in the engine compartment. Do not disconnect the discharged bat- tery from the vehicle's electrical sys- tem.
