Frequently Asked Questions - Fortwo Cabrio Electric Drive (2018) SMART

What is the real-world driving range of the Smart Fortwo Cabrio Electric Drive?
The official NEDC range is 160 km (100 mi). In real-world conditions, expect 120-140 km depending on driving style, weather, and use of accessories like air conditioning.
How long does it take to fully charge the battery?
With a standard 3.3 kW AC charger, it takes about 6 hours. Using a 22 kW fast charger reduces the time to approximately 50 minutes for an 80% charge.
Can the battery degrade over time and how is it covered?
Yes, lithium-ion batteries lose capacity over time. Smart offers a battery warranty of 8 years or 100,000 km, whichever comes first, covering excessive degradation.
How do I operate the convertible top?
The electric fabric soft top can be opened or closed at speeds up to 50 km/h. Use the switch on the center console; the process takes about 12 seconds.
Does the vehicle support regenerative braking?
Yes, it features regenerative braking which recovers energy during deceleration. You can adjust the regeneration level via the driving mode selector.
What type of maintenance does an electric Smart require?
Maintenance is simpler than a combustion car. Check tire pressure, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid regularly. The electric motor requires no oil changes. Battery coolant should be checked at service intervals.
Can I drive the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive in winter?
Yes, but cold weather reduces battery range by 20-30%. Preheating the cabin while plugged in helps preserve range. Use winter tires for better traction.
Is the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive suitable for highway driving?
It is designed primarily for city driving. It can reach a top speed of 130 km/h, but highway use will significantly reduce the range.
How do I recharge at home?
You can plug into a standard household socket (Type 2 connector) or install a wallbox for faster charging. The car comes with a charging cable that supports 3.3 kW.
What is the towing capacity of the Smart Fortwo Cabrio Electric?
The Smart Fortwo is not designed for towing. It has no official towing capacity and should not be used with a trailer.

Protection of the environment

General notes

SMART Fortwo Cabrio Electric Drive (2018) - General notes - 1

Environmental note

Daimler's declared policy is one of comprehensive environmental protection.

Our objectives are to use the natural resources which form the basis of our existence on this planet sparingly and in a manner which takes the requirements of both nature and humanity into consideration.

You too can help to protect the environment by operating your vehicle in an environmentally-responsible manner.

Energy consumption and the rate of engine, transmission, brake and tire wear depend on the following factors:

  • operating conditions of your vehicle
  • your personal driving style

You can influence both factors. Therefore, please bear the following in mind:

Operating conditions:

  • observe the correct tire pressure.
  • avoid carrying unnecessary weight.
  • remove the roof rack once you no longer need it.
  • a regularly serviced vehicle will contribute to environmental protection. You should therefore adhere to the service intervals.
  • all maintenance work should be carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

Personal driving style:

  • drive carefully and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front.
  • avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and braking.
    • monitor the vehicle's energy consumption.

SMART Fortwo Cabrio Electric Drive (2018) - Restraint system malfunctions - 1

DANGER

If the restraint system is malfunctioning, restraint system components may be triggered unintentionally or may not deploy as intended during an accident. This can affect for example the Emergency Tensioning Device or the air bag. Furthermore, in the event of an accident, the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system may not be deactivated as intended. You may be electrocuted if you touch the damaged components of the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

Have the restraint system checked and repaired in a qualified specialist workshop as soon as possible. After an accident, switch off the ignition immediately and remove the key from the ignition lock.

Restraint system response during an accident

vehicle deceleration is not high. Conversely, an air bag may be deployed even though the vehicle suffers only minor deformation. If, for instance, very rigid vehicle parts such as longitudinal body members are hit, the rate of vehicle deceleration may be sufficient.

The restraint system components can be activated or triggered independently of each other:

Component Detected trigger situation
Emergency Tensioning Device (ETD) for seat beltsHead-on collision, rear impact, side impact, rollover
Driver's air bag, front-passenger front air bag and knee bagHead-on collision
Side impact air bagSide impact
Windowbag1 or headbag2Side impact, roll-over, head-on collision

The way the restraint system responds depends on the severity of the impact detected and the apparent type of accident:

  • Head-on collision
  • Rear impact
  • Side impact
  • Rollover

The activation threshold for the restraint system components is determined based on the analysis of the sensor values measured various points in the vehicle. This process is pre-emptive in nature. The triggering process of the restraint system components should take place in good time at the start of the collision.

Factors which can only be seen and measured after a collision has occurred do not play a decisive role in the deployment of an air bag, nor do they provide an indication of air bag deployment.

The vehicle may be deformed significantly without an air bag being deployed. This is the case if only parts which are relatively easily deformed are affected and the rate of

The front-passenger front air bag can only be deployed in an accident if the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is lit. If the front-passenger seat is occupied, make sure that the status of the front-passenger front air bag is correct both before and during the journey ( page 39).

SMART Fortwo Cabrio Electric Drive (2018) - Restraint system response during an accident - 1

WARNING

The air bag parts are hot after an air bag has been deployed. There is a risk of injury.

Do not touch the air bag parts. Have a deployed air bag replaced at a qualified specialist workshop as soon as possible.

i smart recommends that you have the vehicle towed to a qualified specialist workshop after an accident. Take this into of account, particularly if an Emergency Tensioning Device was triggered or an air bag was deployed.

If the Emergency Tensioning Devices are triggered or an air bag is deployed, you will hear a bang, and a small amount of powder may also be released:

  • The bang will not usually affect your hearing.
  • In general, the powder released is not hazardous to health but may cause short-term breathing difficulties to persons suffering from asthma or other pulmonary conditions.

Provided it is safe to do so, leave the vehicle immediately or open the window in order to prevent breathing difficulties.

Air bags and pyrotechnic Emergency Tensioning Devices contain perchlorate material, which may require special handling and environmental protection measures.

National guidelines must be observed during disposal. In California, see www.dtsc.ca.gov/HazardousWaste/Perchlorate/index.cfm.

Acoustic presence indicator

Useful information

Vehicles with an electric motor generate much less driving noise than vehicles with internal combustion engines. As a result, your vehicle may not be heard by other road users in certain situations.

In order to allow your vehicle to be heard when it is moving at slow speeds, a sound generator installed in the vehicle produces a specific noise at speeds between 0 and 18 mph (30 km/h). This function is called the acoustic presence indicator. It makes it possible for other road users, especially pedestrians and cyclists, to hear the vehicle bet-

ter. The acoustic presence indicator can also be heard in the vehicle interior.

Driving economically

Notes on economical driving

In order to save energy, smart electric drive recuperates part of the kinetic energy and uses it to charge the high-voltage battery. When the driver releases the accelerator, the vehicle is braked.

In the following cases, the vehicle will slow down only partially or not at all when the accelerator pedal is released:

  • the gear lever is in position D and the vehicle is rolling backwards
  • the gear lever is in position R and the vehicle is rolling forwards

On steep slopes, the vehicle may not be held at all or may only be held to a limited exten

In the following cases recuperation is restricted:

  • the high-voltage battery is fully charged or too cold
  • the power electronics or the engine has overheated

Recommendations for driving economically:

• accelerate moderately
- pay attention to the power display (▷ page 57)
- drive with care
- use the air conditioning and electrical consumers in moderation
• have maintenance work carried out at the specified service intervals

ECO mode can be used to save additional energy.

Braking correctly

Please note

SMART Fortwo Cabrio Electric Drive (2018) - Please note - 1

WARNING

If you rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving, the braking system can overheat. This increases the stopping distance and can even cause the braking system to fail. There is a risk of an accident. Never use the brake pedal as a footrest. Never depress the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal at the same time.

The vehicle slows down as soon as the accelerator pedal is released. This aids recuperation as the engine is used as a generator and charges the high-voltage battery.

Braking on steep downhill gradients

When driving on downhill gradients, observe the following rules:

  • Do not move the gear lever to position N.
  • If recuperation is restricted, also brake at intervals.

Braking on wet road surfaces

There may be a delayed brake response when driving on wet roads, after driving through a car wash or after driving through deep water.

  • Maintain a greater distance from the vehicle in front.
    ▶ Brake more firmly.

Braking on salt-treated roads

If you drive on salt-treated roads, a layer of salt may form on the brake discs and pads. This increases the vehicle's braking distance.

In order to prevent any salt build-up, apply the brakes occasionally while paying attention to the traffic conditions.
▶ Brake carefully at the end of the journey and when starting the next journey.
- Maintain a greater distance to the vehicle in front.

Maintaining the brakes

! The brake fluid level may be too low, if:

- if the red brake warning lamp lights up in the instrument cluster and - you hear a warning tone while the engine is running

Observe additional warning messages in the multifunction display.

The brake fluid level may be too low due to brake pad wear or leaking brake lines.

Have the brake system checked immediately. Consult a qualified specialist workshop to arrange this.

A function or performance test should only be carried out on a 2-axle dynamometer. If you wish to operate the vehicle on such a dynamometer, please consult a qualified specialist workshop in advance. You could otherwise damage the drive train or the brake system.
As the ESP system operates automatically, the engine and the ignition must be switched off (the SmartKey must be in position 0 or 1 in the ignition lock) if:

- the parking brake is tested using a brake dynamometer (maximum 10 seconds).

- the vehicle is towed with the front axle raised.

Braking triggered automatically by ESP may seriously damage the brake system.

All checks and maintenance work on the brake system must be carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

Have brake pads/linings installed and brake fluid replaced at a qualified specialist workshop.

If the brake system has only been subject to moderate loads, you should test the functionality of your brakes at regular intervals. When having brake pads/linings installed, smart recommends that you only use those which are approved for smart vehicles or are of an equivalent quality standard. Brake pads/linings which have not been approved for smart vehicles or which are not of an equivalent quality could affect your vehicle's operating safety.

Driving on wet roads

Hydroplaning

Depending on driving style and tire tread depth, hydroplaning can occur on the road. Adapt your driving style as follows:

▶ Reduce the speed.
▶ Brake carefully.
▶ Avoid sudden steering movements
▶ Avoid tire ruts.

Fording

! Bear in mind that vehicles traveling in front or in the opposite direction create waves. This may cause the maximum permissible water depth to be exceeded.

Failure to observe these notes may result in damage to the engine, electrical systems and transmission.

Prevent water from entering the vehicle interior or the engine compartment. Observe the following when driving through standing water:

▶ The water level should not exceed the lower edge of the vehicle body in still water
▶ Drive no faster than walking pace.

Winter driving

▶ Before the start of winter, have the vehicle check checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
▶ Use winter tires and, if applicable, snow chains.
▶ Drive carefully and avoid sudden acceleration, turning and braking on slippery road surfaces.
▶ Do not use cruise control.
▶ If the vehicle skids, take corrective steering actions to counteract the movement.
▶ If the vehicle skids, shift the transmission to position N.
▶ Do not use the outside temperature display as a way to determine if conditions are icy.
▶ Observe the road surface.

Useful information

Method of operation

The vehicle is equipped with a high-volta battery for driving. The high-voltage battery stores the energy needed to operate

electric motor and releases it again.

The electric motor uses energy stored in

high-voltage battery for pulling away and accelerating.

In overrun mode, kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy by recuperation and stored in the high-voltage battery.

The high-voltage battery can be charged as follows:

  • by recuperation while the vehicle is in motion
  • with the suitable charging cable at a main socket while the vehicle is stationary
  • with the suitable charging cable at a wall box while the vehicle is stationary
  • with the suitable charging cable at a charging station while the vehicle is stationary

Not all charging variants are available in countries.

The high-voltage battery can be charged voltage range from 100 V to 240 V.

If possible only charge the high-voltage battery when the charge is below 80%. Charge the high-voltage battery at the latest when the charge falls below 20%.

Discharged high-voltage battery

The high-voltage electrical system switches off if the high-voltage battery is completely discharged. This protects the high-voltage battery from exhaustive discharge.

Switching the ignition on and then off can reactivate the high-voltage electrical system temporarily. This allows the vehicle to be parked safely.

Do not allow the vehicle's high-voltage battery to remain in a discharged or almost full discharged state for more than 14 days. You can check the condition of charge in the charge level display ▷(page 57).

Extreme outside temperatures

The efficiency of the high-voltage battery is temperature-dependent and is significantly

reduced at low or very high temperatures. In addition, the electrolytes used may freeze at very low temperatures.

The LED ring in power display shows the power output available (page 57).

Energy consumption and range

The available energy in the high-voltage battery is fundamentally reduced by the following factors:

  • low outside temperatures
  • operating the air-conditioning system or heating

ns•switching on electrical consumers

Low outside temperature and prolonged periods of inactivity without charging can have the following effects:

  • the high-voltage battery output is significantly reduced
  • charging periods may be longer

ll range can be significantly reduced

In extreme cases, it may not be possible to start the vehicle as a result. You should therefore always ensure that the high-voltage battery is fully charged or that the charging cable is connected when parking the vehicle for an extended period of time at low outside temperatures.

As the gets older, the capacity of the high-voltage battery will diminish in the course of its lifetime. This reduces the maximum range and the maximum acceleration.

Battery care

Observe the following notes on battery care:

  • avoid storing and transporting the vehicle at high temperatures and over an extended period of time (e.g. transporting it in a container)
  • connect the vehicle to a power supply 11y when parking it for an extended period of time
    • temperatures below -13 ^ (-25 ^ ) for more than seven days can cause irreversible damage to the vehicle due to frost damage

Conditions of use

Observe the information on exceptions and limitations in the warranty documentation and in the Maintenance Booklet.

Voltage surge protection device

! Voltage surges in the mains supply can damage the vehicle. The vehicle is therefore equipped with a device which protects it from voltage surges in the mains supply. This device may be triggered during severe thunderstorms, for example, and may lead to the building's fuse being tripped and an interruption in the power supply. These functions protect the vehicle. After the building fuse is switched on again, the charging process resumes automatically. Following an interruption in the power supply without the building's fuse being tripped, it may take up to 10 minutes for charging to resume automatically.

After the device has triggered, switch the building's fuse unit on again. Otherwise, the charging process will not resume.

Heat generated by the charging cable and charging cable connector

Charging cables and charging cable connectors may heat up during the charging process at a mains socket.

In the following cases, the rise in temperature is within the permitted limits:

• infrastructure of the mains power supply and the charging cable are intact
- instructions for handling the charging cable and controls on the charging cable are followed

If an increase in temperature to above the permitted limits does take place, check the infrastructure of the mains power supply.

Setting the charge current

WARNING

If the charge current draw via a mains socket is too high during the charging process, the external electrical system may overheat. There is a risk of fire. Before beginning the charging process, check the maximum permissible charge current locally. Consult a qualified expert to do so where necessary.

If necessary, adjust your vehicle's settings.

An excessive charge current can blow a fuse or lead to overheating of the external power supply. Check whether the external power supply is compatible with the set charge current. If necessary, lower the set

charge current or use another power socket.

The value of the charge current used to charge the high-voltage battery can be limited. This may protect the mains supply from overloads.

The maximum setting value and the adjustment values may vary from country to country.

The preset default value is the minimum setting. This is the minimum charge current available from the mains supply.

If the charging cable remains in the mains socket after charging, the value set will be adopted the next time you start charging. If the charging cable is disconnected from the mains socket, the value will be reset to the minimum setting the next time you start charging.

▶ Check the maximum permissible charge current for the particular mains socket.

▶ Plug the cable connector into the mains socket.

You have one minute to set the charge rent.

▶ Press button ⑤ repeatedly until the indicator lamp in the desired setting lights up green.

The desired value is set.

i After one minute, the charge current can only be set by restarting. To do so, remove the charging cable from the mains supply and reinsert it into the mains socket.

The smart Media-System uses a mobile phone connection for data connection. Please take note of the following information when using data services:

- The mobile connectivity and built-in SIM card for this vehicle can only be used for certain data services. These are offered by certain third parties, as well as Daimler A. Usage occurs via the smart Media-System in the vehicle. The use of data services requires the conclusion of separate agreements between the vehicle user and the respective provider. Voice service usage is not permitted. As such, the SIM card must be permanently installed as factory equipment.

• The mobile communications connectivity and the SIM card may only be used responsibly in accordance with the applicable laws and other legal requirements of the corresponding countries. Insofar as this is within the power of the vehicle user. • Upgrading, reproduction, reverse assembly and disassembly of the SIM card are not permitted. Statutory authority remains unaffected.

Failure to follow the above instructions can in some cases lead to temporary or permanent deactivation of the mobile connection and the SIM card. This depends on the severity of the non-compliance. The measures described here, in particular, protect Daimler AG and its contractual partners from negative legal consequences arising from non-compliance. The availability of mobile connectivity in individual countries depends on the existence of corresponding mobile service agreements with local mobile network providers. Availability can therefore change from time to time. The maximum period of validity for the mobile connectivity is 15 years from the time of installation in the vehicle.

Warning

A flat tire severely impairs the driving, steering and braking characteristics of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.

do not drive with a flat tire. Immediately replace the flat tire with your spare wheel or consult a qualified specialist workshop.

SMART Fortwo Cabrio Electric Drive (2018) - Warning - 1

WARNING

Damaged tires can cause tire inflation pressure loss. As a result, you could lose control of your vehicle. There is a risk of accident.

Check the tires regularly for signs of damage and replace any damaged tires immediately.

SMART Fortwo Cabrio Electric Drive (2018) - WARNING - 1

WARNING

Insufficient tire tread will reduce tire traction. The tire is no longer able to dissipate water. This means that on wet road surfaces, the risk of hydroplaning increases, in particular where speed is not adapted to suit the driving conditions. There is a risk of accident.

If the tire pressure is too high or too low, tires may exhibit different levels of wear at different locations on the tire tread. Thus, you should regularly check the tread depth and the condition of the tread across the entire width of all tires.

Minimum tire tread depth for:

• Summer tires: 18 in (3 mm)
• M+S tires: 16 in (4 mm)

For safety reasons, replace the tires before the legally prescribed limit for the minimum tire tread depth is reached.

! If unavoidable, you should drive over obstacles such as curbs slowly and not at a sharp angle. Otherwise, you may damage the wheels or tires.

Check the wheels and tires for damage at least once a month, as well as after driving off-road or on poorly surfaced roads.

Break in new tires at moderate speeds for the first 60 miles (100 km), as they only reach their full performance after this distance.

Vibrations, audible noises or unusual handling characteristics, e.g. pulling to one side, may indicate that the wheels or tires are damaged.

If you suspect a tire defect:

▶ Reduce vehicle speed.
▶ Stop the vehicle as soon as possible.

▶ Check the wheels and tires for damage. If you find no signs of damage, have the wheels and tires checked at a qualified specialist workshop.

pose is to provide drivers with uniform reliable information on tire performance data. Tire manufacturers must grade tires using three performance factors:

① Treadwear grade
② Traction grade
③ Temperature grade

These regulations do not apply to Canada. Nevertheless, all tires sold in North America are provided with the corresponding quality grading markings on the sidewall of the tire.

Quality grades can be found, where applicable, on the tire sidewall between the tread shoulder and maximum tire width.

Example:

• Treadwear grade: 200
• Traction grade: AA
• Temperature grade: A

Indicator ① shows which position the bar marking (arrow) for tread wear is integrate into the tire tread.

Treadwear indicators (TWI) are required by law. Six indicators are positioned on the tire tread. They are visible once a tread depth of approximately 116 in (1.6 mm) has been reached. If this is the case, the tire is so well that it must be replaced.

All passenger car tires must conform to the statutory safety requirements in addition to these grades.

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified U.S. government course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half times as well on the government test track as a tire graded 100.

The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate conditions.

Traction

SMART Fortwo Cabrio Electric Drive (2018) - Traction - 1

WARNING

The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.

! Avoid wheelspin. This can lead to damagatory test wheel than the minimum required to the drive train. by law.

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. These grades represent tire's ability to stop on wet surfaces, as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.

The safe speed on a wet, snow covered or icy road is always lower than on dry road surfaces.

The drivers must pay special attention to road conditions when temperatures are around freezing point.

smart recommends a minimum tread depth of 16 in (4 mm) on all four winter tires. The legally required minimum tread depth must be observed. Winter tires can reduce the braking distance on snow-covered surfaces in comparison with summer tires. The braking distance is still much further than on surfaces that are not icy or covered with snow. Therefore take appropriate care when driving.

Temperature

SMART Fortwo Cabrio Electric Drive (2018) - Temperature - 1

WARNING

The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause excessive heat build-up and possible tire failure.

The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C. They represent the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laborathe

! For safety reasons, smart recommends that you only use tires and wheels which have been specifically approved by smart for your vehicle. These are specially adapted to the control systems, such as ABS or ESP®.

You can find further information regarding tires at specialist tire retailers, at qualified specialist workshops or at any smart center.

Preparing to change a wheel

The vehicle tool tray is located under the glove box.

Only use tires and wheels specifically tested and approved by smart. Certain characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle noise emissions or fuel consumption, may otherwise be adversely affected. In addition, when driving with a load, dimensional variations and different tire deformation characteristics could cause the tires to make contact with the bodywork and axle components. This could result in damage to the tires or the vehicle.

smart accepts no liability for damage resulting from the use of tires or wheels other than those tested and approved.

Information on wheels and tires can be obtained at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart center.

▶ Stop the vehicle on solid, non-slippery and level ground.
▶ Apply the parking brake.
▶ Position the front wheels to point straight ahead.
▶ Shift the transmission to position P.
▶ Switch off the engine.
▶ Remove SmartKey from ignition lock.
▶ Secure the vehicle against rolling away.

Using the tire pressure monitor

Useful information

i This function is only available in the US

WARNING

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked at least once every two weeks when cold and inflated to the pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the Tire and Loading Information placard on the driver's door B-pillar or the tire pressure label on the inside of the fuel filler flap. If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the Tire and Loading Information placard or, if available, the tire pressure label, you should determine the proper tire pressure for those tires.

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires are significantly under inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale lights up, you should sto and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can pad to tire failure.

Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if underinflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the warning lamp will flash for approximately a minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will be repeated every time the vehicle is started as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the

system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.

TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of incompatible replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.

Always check the TPMS malfunction tell-tale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate Tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

▶ Select yes and press OK to confirm. The display shows the Tire Pressure Monitor Restarted message.

▶ Press OK to confirm.

If the Tire Pressure Monitor Restarted message does not appear after 5 seconds, repeat the tire pressure monitor restart.

WARNING

Underinflated or overinflated tires pose

It is the driver's responsibility to set the tirehe following risks:

pressure to that recommended for cold tires which is suitable for the operating situation.

The tire pressure monitor issues a warning when the pressure drops in one or more of tires.

The tire pressure monitor only functions if sensors are present in all four tires, and of the monitor has learned the correct tire pressure for the current operating situation. This occurs automatically in most situations, but

may also be specified after restarting the tire pressure monitor. Before restarting, check the tires for the recommended tire pressure.

The tire pressure monitor does not provide a warning in the following cases:

• Even loss of pressure on multiple tires
- Sudden loss of tire pressure, e.g. due to penetration by a foreign body
- Incorrectly set tire pressure

The tire pressure monitor has a yellow warning lamp in the instrument cluster for indicating pressure loss and malfunction.

- the tires may burst, especially as the load and vehicle speed increase.

the tires may wear excessively and/or unevenly, which may greatly impair tire traction.

ter the driving characteristics, as well as steering and braking, may be greatly impaired.

There is a risk of an accident.

Follow recommended tire inflation pressures and check the pressure of all the tires including the spare wheel:

• monthly, at least
- if the load changes
• before beginning a long journey
• under different operating conditions, e.g. off-road driving

If necessary, correct the tire pressure.

Restarting the tire pressure monitor

▶ Set the tire pressure of all tires to the recommended value.
▶ Select Settings TiTirerResessureMonitor in the on-board computer.

Sealing tires using the TREFIT kit

Useful information

The tire sealant is pumped into the tire. TIREFIT is a tire sealant. TIREFIT is used to seal punctures of up to 0.16 in (4 mm), particularly those in the tire tread, at outside temperatures of up to -4 °F (-20 °C).

Please note

SMART Fortwo Cabrio Electric Drive (2018) - Please note - 1

WARNING

In the following situations, the tire sealant is unable to provide sufficient breakdown assistance, as it is unable to seal the tire properly:

  • there are cuts or punctures in the tire larger than those mentioned above.
    • the wheel rim is damaged.
  • you have driven at very low tire pressures or on a flat tire.

SMART Fortwo Cabrio Electric Drive (2018) - WARNING - 1
