Protecting the environment

General notes


Daimler's declared policy is one of com-prehensive environmental protection.

Our objectives are to use the naturalresources which form the basis of ourexistence on this planet sparingly and ina manner which takes the requirementsof both nature and humanity into consid-eration.

You too can help to protect the environ-ment by operating your vehicle in anenvironmentally-responsible manner.

Energy consumption and the rate ofengine, transmission, brake and tyrewear depend on the following factors:

Roperating conditions of your vehicle

Ryour personal driving style

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

Operating conditions:

Robserve the correct tyre pressure.

Rdo not carry any unnecessary weightin the vehicle

Rremove the roof rack once you no lon-ger need it.

Ra regularly serviced vehicle will con-tribute to environmental protection.You should therefore adhere to the ser-vice intervals.

Rall maintenance work should be carriedout at a qualified specialist workshop.

Personal driving style:

Rdrive carefully and maintain a safedistance from the vehicle in front.

Ravoid frequent, sudden accelerationand braking.

Rmonitor the vehicle's energy consump-tion.

High-voltage battery


Have a defective high-voltage batterydisposed of in an environmentally-responsible manner. Contact a specialistworkshop, which is qualified for smart EQfortwo, smart EQ fortwo cabrio or smartEQ forfour, and has the necessary specialskills and tools to carry out the workrequired. smart recommends a smartcentre for this.

Returning an end-of-life vehicle

EU countries only:smart will take back your end-of-life vehi-cle for environment-friendly disposal inaccordance with the European Union (EU)End-Of-Life Vehicles Directive.A network of vehicle take-back points anddismantlers has been established for you toreturn your vehicle. This makes an impor-tant contribution to closing the recyclingcircle and conserving resources. You canleave it any of these points free of charge.For further information about the recyclingand disposal of end-of-life vehicles, andthe take-back conditions, please visit thenational smart website for your country.

smart genuine parts


Daimler AG also supplies reconditionedassemblies and parts which are of thesame quality as new parts. For these, thesame warranty applies as for new parts.

! Airbags and seat belt tensioners, aswell as control units and sensors forthese restraint systems, may be installedin the following areas of your vehicle:

RdoorsRdoor pillarsRdoor sillsRseats

22 >> Introduction.

RdashboardRinstrument clusterRcentre consoleDo not install accessories such as audiosystems in these areas. Do not carry outrepairs or welding. You could impair theoperating efficiency of the restraint sys-tems.Have accessories retrofitted at a quali-fied specialist workshop.

Only smart genuine parts or parts of thesame quality may be used. Additionally,only tyres, wheels and accessoriesapproved for the specific type of vehiclemay be used.Always specify the vehicle identificationnumber (VIN) when ordering smart genuineparts.Using parts, tyres, wheels or safety-rele-vant equipment not approved by smartcould endanger the operating safety of thevehicle. Safety-relevant systems, e.g. thebrake system, could malfunction.smart tests genuine parts and conversionparts and accessories that have been spe-cifically approved for your vehicle for theirreliability, safety and suitability. Despiteongoing market research, smart is unable toassess other parts. smart therefore acceptsno responsibility for the use of such partsin smart vehicles, even if they have beenofficially approved or independentlyapproved by a testing centre.In Germany, certain parts are only offi-cially approved for installation or modifi-cation if they comply with legal require-ments. This also applies to some othercountries. All genuine smart parts meet theapproval requirements. The use of non-approved parts may invalidate the vehicle'sgeneral operating permit.The following situations will invalidate theoperating permit:

RThe vehicle type changes from that sta-ted in the vehicle's operating permit, dueto modifications.ROther road users are likely to be endan-

gered.REmissions or noise characteristics deteri-

orate.

Warranty for the smart Audio-Systemand smart Media-System

The smart sales organisation provides awarranty for a period of 24 months withouta kilometre limit for the smart Audio-Sys-tem and the smart Media-System.The warranty issuer is the respective salesorganisation in the country in which theaccessory or replacement part was pur-chased (see list in the service booklet).

Vehicle equipment

This Owner's Manual describes all modelsand all standard and optional equipmentavailable for the vehicle at the time of pub-lication of this Owner's Manual. Country-specific differences are possible. Pleasenote that the vehicle equipment may differfrom certain descriptions and illustrationsprovided in this manual. This is also thecase for systems and functions relevant tosafety.The vehicle's original purchase contractdocumentation contains a list of all thesystems in your vehicle. Please contact anysmart Centre to help clarify any questionsrelated to the vehicle equipment and oper-ation.

Declarations of conformity

Electromagnetic compatibility

The electromagnetic compatibility of thevehicle components has been checked andcertified according to the currently validversion of UNECE standard UN-R10.

Declaration of conformity for two-wayradio systems according to Directive2014/53/EU

The components of the vehicle that receiveand/or transmit radio waves are compliantwith the basic requirements and all otherrelevant regulations stipulated by Directive2014/53/EU.

Data stored in the vehicle

Electronic control units

Your vehicle is equipped with electroniccontrol units. Some of them are necessaryfor your vehicle to function safely, someprovide support when driving (driver assis-tance systems). In addition, your vehicleoffers comfort or entertainment functionswhich are also made possible with elec-tronic control units.Electronic control units contain data mem-ories which can permanently or tempora-rily store technical information on vehiclecondition, component stress, servicerequirements as well as technical incidentsand faults.This information generally documents thecondition of a component, a module, a sys-tem or of the environment such as:

Roperating states of system components(e.g. fluid levels, battery status, tyrepressure)Rstatus messages of the vehicle or its

individual components (e.g. wheel revo-lutions/speed, deceleration in movement,lateral acceleration, display of seat beltsfastened)Rmalfunctions and defects in important

system components (e.g. the lights andbrakes)Rinformation on incidents in which the

vehicle is damaged

Rreactions of the systems in specific driv-ing situations (e.g. deployment of an air-bag, use of stability control systems)Rambient conditions (e.g. temperature,

rain sensor)In addition to the provision of control unitfunctions, this data serves to detect andrectify faults as well as to optimise vehiclefunctions by the manufacturer. Most of thisdata is volatile and is only processed in thevehicle itself. Only a small proportion ofthe data is stored in event or error memo-ries.When service work is carried out on yourvehicle, the technical data from the vehiclecan be read out by service network staff(e.g. workshops, manufacturers) or thirdparties (e.g. breakdown services). Servicework is, for example, repair work, mainte-nance, warranty claims and quality assur-ance measures. The data is read out via thelegally prescribed connection for the diag-nostics connection in the vehicle. Therespective workshop of service network orthird parties collect, process and use thedata. The data documents technical statesof the vehicle, help in finding errors and inimproving quality and are transferred tothe manufacturer if necessary. In addition,the manufacturer is subject to product lia-bility. For this purpose, the manufacturerrequires technical data from vehicles.Error memories in the vehicle can be resetby a service outlet during repairs or servicework.Depending on the equipment selected, youcan enter data in comfort and infotainmentfunctions of the vehicle.This includes, for example:

Rmultimedia data, such as music, films orphotos for playback in an integratedmultimedia systemRaddress book data for use in an integra-

ted hands-free system or an integratednavigation systemRnavigation destinations enteredRdata on the use of Internet servicesThis data can be saved locally in the vehi-cle or it is located on a device which youhave connected to the vehicle (e.g. smart-phone, USB memory stick or MP3 player). Ifthis data is saved in the vehicle, you candelete it at any time. Transfer of this data

to third parties only occurs at your request,especially as part of online servicesaccording to the settings you have selected.You can save comfort settings/individuali-sation in the vehicle and change them atany time.Depending on the equipment, these include,for example:

Rsettings for seat and steering wheel posi-tionsRsuspension and air-conditioning settingsRindividualisation such as interior light-

ingIf your vehicle is suitably equipped, youcan connect your mobile phone or anothermobile end device with the vehicle. You canoperate these devices via the control ele-ments integrated in the vehicle. Images andsound from the mobile phone can playedback via the multimedia system. At thesame time, certain information is transfer-red to your mobile phone.Depending on the type of integration, thiscan include:

Rgeneral vehicle statusRposition dataThis allows the use of selected mobilephone apps, e.g. navigation or music play-back. There is no further interactionbetween mobile phone and vehicle; in par-ticular there is no active access to vehicledata. The provider of the app being useddetermines how the data may be furtherprocessed. Which settings you can adjust, ifany, depends on the specific app and theoperating system of your mobile phone.

Online services

Wireless network connection

If your vehicle has a wireless network con-nection, this will permit the exchange ofdata between your vehicle and further sys-tems. The wireless network connection isenabled by a transmission and receptiondevice belonging to the vehicle or viamobile end devices (e.g. mobile phones) youbring into the vehicle. Online functions canbe used via this wireless network connec-tion. These include online services and

applications/apps, which are provided bythe manufacturer or by other providers.

Manufacturer's own services

Regarding online services of the manufac-turer, the individual functions are descri-bed by the manufacturer in a suitable place(e.g. Owner's Manual, the manufacturer'swebsite) along with the relevant data pro-tection information. Personal identificationdata may be used to provide online serv-ices. The data exchange for this takes placevia a secure connection, e.g. with the man-ufacturer's IT systems intended for thepurpose. The collecting, processing, anduse of personal identification data beyondthe provision of services occurs exclusivelyon the basis of a legal permit or after dueconsent.Generally, you can enable or disable theservices and functions (which sometimeshave associated costs). In some cases, thisalso applies to the whole data connection ofthe vehicle. Excluded from this are speciallegally prescribed functions and services.

Services of third parties

If it is possible to use online services fromother providers, these services are theresponsibility of the provider in questionand subject to that provider's data protec-tion conditions and terms of use. The man-ufacturer has no influence on the contentsexchanged whilst using these services.Please ask the respective service providerfor details on the type, extent and purposeof the collection and use of personal data inthe context of third party services.

Occupant safety

Restraint system

Protection provided by the restraintsystem

The restraint system includes the followingcomponents:

RSeat belt systemRAirbagsRChild restraint systemRChild seat securing systemThe restraint system can reduce the risk ofvehicle occupants coming into contact withparts of the vehicle's interior in the eventof an accident. In the event of an accident,the restraint system can also reduce theforces to which the vehicle occupants aresubjected.A seat belt can only provide maximum pro-tection when worn correctly. Depending onthe type of accident detected, seat belt ten-sioners and/or airbags may supplement acorrectly worn seat belt. Not every accidentwill trigger the seat belt tensioners and/ordeploy the airbags.In order for the restraint system to providethe intended level of protection, each vehi-cle occupant must observe the followinginformation:

Rfasten the seat belt correctly.Rbe in an almost upright position with the

back against the backrest.Rsit with feet resting on the floor, if possi-

ble.Ralways secure persons under 1.50 m tall

in an additional restraint system suita-ble for this vehicle.

However, no system available today cancompletely eliminate injuries and fatalitiesin every accident. In particular, the seatbelt and airbag generally do not protectagainst objects penetrating the vehiclefrom the outside. The risk of injuries due toa deployed airbag also cannot be com-pletely eliminated.

Limited protection from restraint sys-tem

G WARNING

If the restraint system is modified, it mayno longer work as intended. The restraintsystem may then not perform its inten-ded protective function by failing in anaccident or triggering unexpectedly, forexample. There is an increased risk ofinjury, possibly even fatal.

Never modify parts of the restraint sys-tem. Do not attempt to modify the wiringas well as electronic components or theirsoftware.

If it is necessary to adjust the vehicle toaccommodate a person with disabilities,contact a qualified specialist workshop.smart recommends that you use drivingaids which have been approved specificallyfor your vehicle by smart.

Preparing the restraint system foroperation

When the ignition is switched on, therestraint system warning lamp lights up6 during the self-check. It goes out nolater than a few seconds after the vehicle isstarted. The components of the restraintsystem are then in operational readiness.

Malfunctioning restraint system

A malfunction has occurred in the restraintsystem if:

RWhen the ignition is switched on, the6 restraint system warning lamp doesnot light up.RWhile driving, the 6 restraint system

warning lamp remains lit or lights uprepeatedly.

If the restraint warning system is faulty,the vehicle's high-voltage electrical systemmay not be deactivated as intended in theevent of an accident.

G DANGER

If the restraint system is malfunctioning,restraint system components may be

triggered unintentionally or may notdeploy as intended during an accident.This may affect the seat belt tensioner orairbag, for example. Furthermore, in theevent of an accident, the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system may not bedeactivated as intended. You may beelectrocuted if you touch the damagedcomponents of the vehicle's high-voltageelectrical system. This poses anincreased risk of injury or even fatalinjury.

Have the restraint system checked andrepaired immediately at a qualified spe-cialist workshop. After an accident,switch off the ignition immediately andremove the key from the ignition lock.

Restraint system function during anaccident

The way the restraint system respondsdepends on the severity of the impactdetected and the apparent type of accident:

RHead-on collisionRRear impactRSide impactROverturn1

The activation threshold for the restraintsystem components is determined based onthe analysis of the sensor values measuredat various points in the vehicle. This proc-ess is pre-emptive in nature. The trigger-ing process of the restraint system compo-nents should take place in good time at thestart of the collision.Factors which can only be seen and meas-ured after a collision has occurred do notplay a decisive role in the deployment of anairbag, nor do they provide an indication ofairbag deployment.The vehicle may be deformed significantlywithout an airbag being deployed. This isthe case if only parts which are relativelyeasily deformed are affected and the rate ofvehicle deceleration is not high. Con-

versely, an airbag may be deployed eventhough the vehicle suffers only minordeformation. If, for instance, very rigidvehicle parts such as longitudinal bodymembers are hit, the rate of vehicle decel-eration may be sufficient.The restraint system components can beactivated or triggered independently ofeach other:

Component Detected triggersituation

Belt tensioners Head-on collision,rear impact, sideimpact, overturn1

Driver's airbag,front-passengerfront airbag andkneebag

Head-on collision

Sidebag Side impact

Windowbag2 orheadbag3

Side impact, over-turn1, head-on col-lision

G WARNING

After the airbag deploys, the airbag partsare hot. There is a risk of injury.

Do not touch the airbag parts. Have adeployed airbag replaced at a qualifiedspecialist workshop as soon as possible.

i smart recommends that you have thevehicle towed to a qualified specialistworkshop after an accident. Take thisinto account, particularly if a seat belttensioner was triggered or an airbag wasdeployed.

If the belt tensioners are triggered or anairbag is deployed, you will hear a bang,and a small amount of powder may also bereleased:

RThe bang will not usually affect yourhearing.RIn general, the powder released is not

hazardous to health but may cause short-

term breathing difficulties to personssuffering from asthma or other pulmo-nary conditions.Provided it is safe to do so, leave thevehicle immediately or open the windowin order to prevent breathing difficulties.

Seat belts

Protection provided by seat belts

Always fasten seat belts correctly beforecommencing your journey. A seat belt canonly provide maximum protection whenworn correctly.

G WARNING

If the seat belt is worn incorrectly, itcannot perform its intended protectivefunction. Furthermore, an incorrectlyworn seat belt can cause additional inju-ries, e.g. in the event of an accident,heavy braking or sudden changes ofdirection. There is an increased risk ofinjury, possibly even fatal.

Always ensure that all vehicle occupantshave their seat belts fastened correctlyand are sitting properly.

Always observe the notes on correct driv-er's seat position (Y page 61) and seatadjustment (Y page 62).In order for the correctly worn seat belt toprovide the intended level of protection,each vehicle occupant must observe thefollowing information:

Rthe seat belt must not be twisted andmust fit tightly and snugly across thebody.Rthe seat belt must be routed across the

centre of the shoulder and as low downacross the hips as possible.Rthe shoulder section of the belt should

not touch your neck nor be routed underyour arm or behind your back.Ravoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a win-

ter coat.Rpress the lap belt down into your hip

joints and pull taut by the shoulder sec-tion of the belt. The lap belt must never

be routed across your stomach or abdo-men.Rnever route the seat belt across sharp,

pointed, abrasive or fragile objects.Ronly one person per seat belt. Infants and

children must never travel sitting on thelap of a vehicle occupant.Rnever secure objects with a seat belt if

the seat belt is also being used by one ofthe vehicle's occupants. Always observethe notes on "Loading the vehicle" forsecuring objects, luggage or loads(Y page 150).Also make sure that objects are neverplaced between an occupant and the seat,e.g. a cushion.

If children are travelling in the vehicle, besure to observe the instructions and safetynotes on "Children in the vehicle"(Y page 43).

Limited protection from seat belts

G WARNING

The seat belt does not offer the intendedlevel of protection if you have not movedthe backrest to an almost vertical posi-tion. When braking or in the event of anaccident, you could slide underneath theseat belt and sustain abdomen or neckinjuries, for example. This poses anincreased risk of injury or even fatalinjury.

Adjust the seat properly before beginningyour journey. Always ensure that thebackrest is in an almost vertical positionand that the shoulder section of yourseatbelt is routed across the centre ofyour shoulder.

G WARNING

Persons under 1.50 m tall cannot wear theseat belts correctly without an additionalsuitable restraint system. If the seat beltis worn incorrectly, it cannot perform itsintended protective function. Further-more, an incorrectly worn seat belt cancause additional injuries, e.g. in theevent of an accident, heavy braking or

sudden changes of direction. There is anincreased risk of injury, possibly evenfatal.

Always secure persons less than 1.50 mtall in additional suitable restraint sys-tems.

G WARNING

Seat belts may not be used in the follow-ing situations in particular:

Rthe seat belt is damaged, has beenmodified, is very dirty, bleached ordyed.

Rthe seat belt buckle is damaged or verydirty.

Rmodifications have been made to theseat belt tensioner, seat belt anchorageor seat belt retractor.

Seat belts may sustain non-visible dam-age in an accident, e.g. due to glasssplinters. Modified or damaged seat beltscan tear or fail, for example in the eventof an accident. Modified seat belt ten-sioners may be triggered unintentionallyor may not function as intended. There isan increased risk of injury, possibly evenfatal.

Never modify seat belts, seat belt ten-sioners, seat belt anchorages and inertiareels. Ensure that seat belts are not dam-aged or worn and are clean. After an acci-dent, have the seat belts checked imme-diately at a qualified specialist work-shop.

smart recommends that you only use seatbelts which have been approved specifi-cally for your vehicle by smart.

G WARNING

Pyrotechnical belt tensioners which havebeen triggered are no longer operationaland therefore cannot protect as intended.There is an increased risk of injury, pos-sibly even fatal.

Have pyrotechnic belt tensioners whichhave been triggered replaced at a quali-fied specialist workshop immediately.

smart recommends that you have the vehi-cle towed to a qualified specialist workshopafter an accident.

! Make sure that the seat belt is fully rol-led up. Otherwise, the seat belt or belttongue will be trapped in the door or inthe seat mechanism. This could damagethe door, the door trim panel and the seatbelt. Damaged seat belts can no longerfulfil their protective function and mustbe replaced. Visit a qualified specialistworkshop.

Notes on rearward-facing and forward-facing child restraint systems on thefront passenger seat

G WARNING

If you secure a child in a rearward-facingchild restraint system on the front-passenger seat and the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is off, the front-passenger front airbag can deploy in theevent of an accident. The child could bestruck by the airbag. This poses anincreased risk of injury or even fatalinjury.

Make sure that the front-passenger frontairbag has been disabled. The PASSENGERAIR BAG OFF indicator lamp must be lit.

NEVER use a rearward-facing childrestraint on a seat protected by anACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it; DEATH orSERIOUS INJURY to the child can occur.

Observe the specific notes on rearward-facing and forward-facing child restraintsystems.

Warning notice on the front-passenger sunvisor

Always pay attention to the status of thefront-passenger front airbag with thePASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp:

RIf you fit a child restraint system to thefront-passenger seat, be sure to observethe notes on disabling the front-passenger front airbag (Y page 53).RWhen using a rearward-facing child

restraint system on the front-passengerseat, the front-passenger front airbagmust always be disabled. This is only the

case if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indi-cator lamp is permanently lit (Y page 43).RIf the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator

lamp goes out, the front-passenger frontairbag is enabled. The front-passengerfront airbag may deploy during an acci-dent.

Attaching a child restraint system withthe seat belt to the front passenger seat

When fitting a belt-secured child restraintsystem on the front-passenger seat, alwaysobserve the following:

O Be sure to observe the installation andoperating instructions provided by themanufacturer for the child restraintsystem being used.

O When using a "Universal" or "Semi-Universal" category child restraintsystem, ensure that it is approved forthe vehicle seat.Observe the notes under "Suitability ofseats for attaching belt-secured childrestraint systems" (Y page 55).

O The backrest of a forward-facing childrestraint system must, as far as possi-ble, rest flat against the backrest of thefront-passenger seat.

O For certain child restraint systems inweight categories II or III, the maxi-mum size setting may be restricted, forinstance due to possible contact withthe roof.

O The child restraint system must not beput under strain between the roof andthe seat cushion and/or be fitted facingthe wrong direction.

O The child restraint system must not beput under strain by the head restraint.

O Never place objects, such as a cushion,under or behind the child restraintsystem.

X Set the front-passenger seat as far backas possible.

X Adjust the seat backrest to an almostvertical position.

X Fit the child restraint system.The base of the child restraint systemmust lie fully against the seat cushion ofthe front-passenger seat.

X Always make sure that the shoulder beltstrap is correctly routed from the vehiclebelt outlet to the shoulder belt guide onthe child restraint system.The shoulder belt strap must be routedforwards and downwards from the beltoutlet.

X If necessary, adjust the belt outlet andthe front-passenger seat as appropriate.

Pets in the vehicle

G WARNING

If you leave animals unsupervised orunsecured in the vehicle, they may pressbuttons or switches, for instance.

In this way, animals may:

Ractivate vehicle equipment and becometrapped, for example

Rswitch systems on or off and therebyendanger other road users

Furthermore, unsecured animals may beflung around inside the vehicle in theevent of an accident or abrupt steering orbraking manoeuvre, and thereby injurevehicle occupants. There is a risk of acci-dent and injury.

Never leave animals unattended in thevehicle.

Always secure animals properly whendriving, for instance with a suitable petcarrier.

Driving safely

Driving safety system limitations

! Make sure you have suitable tyres, sothat assistance systems and drivingsafety systems can work as effectively aspossible.

If you fail to adapt your driving style or ifyou are inattentive, the driving safety sys-tems can neither reduce the risk of accidentnor override the laws of physics. Drivingsafety systems are merely aids designed toassist driving. You are responsible for the

distance to the vehicle in front, for vehiclespeed and for braking in good time. Alwaysadapt your driving style to suit the pre-vailing road, weather and traffic conditionsand maintain a safe distance from the vehi-cle in front. Drive carefully.For safety reasons, smart recommends thatyou only use snow chains that have beenspecially approved for your vehicle bysmart. Further information can be obtainedat a smart Centre or a qualified specialistworkshop.

Braking with ABS (Anti-lock BrakingSystem)

ABS controls brake pressure in such a waythat the wheels do not lock when you brake.This allows you to continue steering thevehicle when braking.When you switch on the ignition, the !warning lamp in the instrument clusterlights up. It goes out after the engine isstarted.ABS works from a speed of about 6 km/h,regardless of road surface conditions. ABSintervenes in the case of slippery road sur-faces, even if you only brake gently.

X To brake while ABS intervenes: continueto depress the brake pedal with forceuntil the braking situation is over.

X To make a full brake application: depressthe brake pedal with full force.

G WARNING

If ABS is faulty, the wheels could lockwhen braking. The steerability and brak-ing characteristics may be severelyimpaired. Additionally, further drivingsafety systems are deactivated. There isan increased danger of skidding andaccidents.

Drive on carefully. Have ABS checkedimmediately at a qualified specialistworkshop.

Using Active Brake Assist

Useful information

With the help of the radar sensor system,Active Brake Assist can calculate the dis-tance of your vehicle to the vehicle in front.If for several seconds, the distance to thevehicle in front is insufficient for the speedyou are driving at, Active Brake Assistalerts the driver visually.If a risk of collision is detected, ActiveBrake Assist alerts the driver both visuallyand acoustically. In addition, Active BrakeAssist prepares the vehicle for a possibleemergency braking manoeuvre.In particularly critical situations ActiveBrake Assist may brake autonomously. Inthis case, Active Brake Assist continues toalert the driver both visually and acousti-cally.

Please note

G WARNING

Active Brake Assist cannot always clearlyidentify objects and complex traffic sit-uations.

In these cases, Active Brake Assist may:

Rwarn or brake for no reason

Rnot issue a warning

Rnot brake

There is a risk of an accident.

Always pay careful attention to the traf-fic situation and do not rely on ActiveBrake Assist alone. Be prepared to brakeor manoeuvre if necessary.

G WARNING

Active Brake Assist does not react:

Rto persons, bicycles, motorcycles oranimals

Rto approaching vehicles

Rto cross traffic

Ron bends

As a result, Active Brake Assist cannotintervene in all critical situations. Thereis a risk of an accident.

Always pay careful attention to the traf-fic situation and be prepared to brake.

G WARNING

Severe jolting, for example in the case ofa collision, may cause the radar sensorsto be misaligned. The function of ActiveBrake Assist is then impaired.


Deactivate Active Brake Assist. HaveActive Brake Assist checked at a qualifiedspecialist workshop.

The following requirements must also befulfilled:

Rthe selector lever is in position h.Rthe parking brake is released.Rthe driving speed is within the suitable

speed range.Detection can be restricted under the fol-lowing conditions:

Rthe vehicle is new or service work hasbeen carried out on the system. In thiscase, observe the information on run-ning-in the vehicle.Rthe radio sensors are dirty or covered

(Y page 169).Rin heavy rain or snow.Rthere is interference from other radar

sources, e.g. in multi-storey car parks.Rthe vehicle travelling in front is narrow,

e.g. a motorcycle.Rthe vehicle travelling in front is travel-

ling on a different line.Autonomous braking can be cancelled bybriefly depressing the accelerator pedal.If the brake lamps are inoperative, deacti-vate Active Brake Assist.

i Observe the notes on "Limitations of thedriving safety systems" (Y page 57).

Driving with ESP®

G WARNING

If ESP® is malfunctioning, ESP® is unableto stabilise the vehicle. In addition, otherdriving safety systems are switched off.This increases the risk of skidding and anaccident.

Drive on carefully. Have ESP® checked ata qualified specialist workshop.

Within physical limits, ESP® can monitorand improve the driving stability and trac-tion in the following situations:

Rwhen pulling away on wet or slipperyroad surfacesRwhen brakingRin case of strong crosswindsIf the vehicle deviates from the directiondesired by the driver, ESP® can stabilise thevehicle by intervening in the followingways:

Rbraking one or more wheels accordinglyRadjusting the engine output according to

the situation

ESP® comprises ETS (Electronic TractionSystem) and Crosswind Assist.ETS brakes the drive wheels individually ifthey spin. This enables you to pull away oraccelerate on slippery surfaces, for exampleif the road surface is slippery on one side.If the ÷ warning lamp goes out beforebeginning the journey, ESP® is active.If the ÷ warning lamp flashes in theinstrument cluster, ESP® is intervening.

Driving safely 59

y.

Z

If ESP® intervenes, observe the followingpoints:

Rpull away carefully: only depress theaccelerator pedal as far as necessaryRadapt your driving style to the prevailing

road and weather conditions

If the ÷ ESP® warning lamp lights upcontinuously, ESP® is not available due to amalfunction. Crosswind Assist is then alsono longer active.Observe the additional information on indi-cator and warning lamps and display mes-sages.Crosswind Assist recognises suddenlyoccurring crosswinds and helps the driverto keep the vehicle in the correct lane. Thevehicle is stabilised using a targeted andone-sided application of the brakes.Crosswind Assist is active at vehicle speedsabove 70 km/h when driving straight aheador cornering gently.

Information on EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution)

EBD monitors and controls the brake pres-sure on the rear wheels to improve drivingstability while braking.

G WARNING

If EBD is malfunctioning, the rear wheelscan lock, e.g. under full braking. Thisincreases the risk of skidding and anaccident.

You should therefore adapt your drivingstyle to the different handling character-istics. Have the brake system checked ata qualified specialist workshop.

Acoustic presence indicator

Useful information

Vehicles with an electric motor generatemuch less driving noise than vehicles withinternal combustion engines. As a result,the vehicle may not be heard by other roadusers in certain situations.In order to allow your vehicle to be heardwhen it is moving at slow speeds, a soundgenerator installed in the vehicle produces

a specific noise at speeds between 0 and30 km/h. This function is called the acousticpresence indicator. This helps other roadusers, particularly pedestrians andcyclists, to hear your vehicle better. Theacoustic presence indicator can also beheard in the vehicle interior.The volume of the acoustic presence indi-cator depends on the engine speed. Thefaster you accelerate, the louder the soundis. At speeds of over 30 km/h, the sound isswitched off. Above this speed, the drivingnoise naturally created by the vehicle istypically sufficient for the vehicle to beheard in good time by other road users.

Deactivating/activating the acousticpresence indicator

The acoustic presence indicator is automat-ically activated each time the ignition isstarted.

X Press the switch.If the acoustic presence indicator is

deactivated, the LED on the switchlights up.

Radar-based recuperation

Only for instrument cluster with colour dis-play:The "Radar-based recuperation" functionadapts the vehicle's rate of recuperation tocurrent traffic conditions. It activates itselfautomatically as soon as the acceleratorpedal is released. There are five levels up tothe maximum value for optimum recupera-tion and distance to the vehicle ahead. The

maximum value can vary depending on thecharge status of the battery and the batterytemperature.Radar sensors measure the distance to andthe speed of a vehicle ahead. The shorterthe distance to the vehicle ahead, thegreater the recuperation. When recupera-tion is high, the brake lamps also light up.The current level of recuperation is notshown in the power display (Y page 71).Radar-based recuperation is not active inthe following cases:

Driving economically

Notes on economical driving

In order to save energy, a part of the kineticenergy is recuperated and stored in thehigh-voltage battery. When the driverreleases the accelerator pedal, the vehicledecelerates.

In the following cases, the vehicle does notdecelerate, or only decelerates to a limitedextent, when the accelerator pedal isreleased:

Rthe gear lever is in position h and thevehicle is rolling backwardsRthe gear lever is in position k and the

vehicle is rolling forwardsOn steep slopes, the vehicle may not beheld at all or only be held to a limiteddegree.In the following cases recuperation isrestricted:

Rthe high-voltage battery is full or toocoldRthe power electronics or engine has over-

heatedRecommendations for driving economically:

Raccelerate moderatelyRobserve the power availability dis-

play(Y page 71)Rdrive with careRuse the air conditioning and the electri-

cal consumers sparinglyRhave maintenance work carried out at the

specified service intervalsYou can use ECO mode in order to save moreenergy.ECO mode has the following characteristics:

Rreduced torque and significantly reducedpower. This supports a particularly effi-cient, steady driving style. The speed isreduced to approx. 110 km/h.Rthe performance of the air-conditioning

and heating systems is reduced.Rthe maximum available recuperation is

activated.Rthe vehicle accelerates more slowly.Rthe "radar-based recuperation" function

is switched off.To increase acceleration when in ECO mode,depress the accelerator pedal beyond thepressure point.

Rdo not move the selector lever to positioniRif recuperation is restricted, also brake at

intervals

Braking on wet road surfaces

There may be a delayed brake responsewhen driving on wet roads, after drivingthrough a car wash or after driving throughdeep water.

X Maintain a greater distance to the vehiclein front.

X Brake more firmly.

Braking on salt-treated roads

When driving on salt-treated roads, a layerof salt may form on the brake discs andpads. This increases the vehicle's brakingdistance.

X In order to prevent any salt build-up,apply the brakes occasionally while pay-ing attention to the traffic conditions.

X Brake carefully at the end of the journeyand when starting the next journey.

X Maintain a greater distance to the vehiclein front.

Useful information

Method of operation

The vehicle is equipped with a high-volt-age battery for driving. The high-voltagebattery stores the energy needed to operatethe electric motor and releases it again.The electric motor uses energy stored in thehigh-voltage battery for pulling away andaccelerating.In overrun mode, kinetic energy is conver-ted into electrical energy by recuperationand stored in the high-voltage battery.In addition to recuperation, the high-volt-age battery can be charged as follows:

Rwith the suitable charging cable at amains socket while the vehicle is station-aryRwith the suitable charging cable at a

wallbox while the vehicle is stationaryRwith the suitable charging cable at a

: Charging cable for charging at a charg-ing station or wallbox

; Charging cable for charging at a mainssocket

Charging cables may differ from the ver-sions shown depending on the country.The different versions of charging cablesare distinguished by their charging cableconnectors. The charging cable which ischarged at a mains socket also has controls.The options listed for charging a high-volt-age battery are not available in all coun-tries.The high-voltage battery can be charged ata charging station or wallbox in a nominalvoltage range from 100 V to 400 V.Vehicles with 22 kW on-board charger: thehigh-voltage battery can be charged in anominal voltage range from 220 V to 400 V.

i If possible, only charge the high-volt-age battery when the charge is below80%. Charge the high-voltage battery atthe latest when the charge falls below20%.

Discharged high-voltage battery

The high-voltage electrical systemswitches off if the high-voltage battery iscompletely discharged. This protects thehigh-voltage battery from exhaustive dis-charge.

i Switching the ignition on and then offcan reactivate the high-voltage electricalsystem temporarily. The vehicle can thenbe parked safely.

Do not leave the vehicle with a dischargedor almost fully discharged high-voltagebattery for longer than 14 days. You can

check the charge status in the charge leveldisplay (Y page 71).

Extreme outside temperatures

The efficiency of the high-voltage batteryis temperature-dependent and is signifi-cantly reduced at low or high temperatures.In addition, the electrolytes used mayfreeze at very low temperatures.The LED ring in the power output displayshows the power output available(Y page 71).

Energy consumption and range

The available energy in the high-voltagebattery is basically reduced by the follow-ing factors:

Rlow outside temperaturesRoperating the air-conditioning system or

heatingRuse of electrical consumersLeaving the vehicle parked for an extendedperiod at low outdoor temperatures withoutcharging it can lead to the following:

Rhigh-voltage battery output is signifi-cantly reducedRcharge times can be longerRrange can be significantly reducedIn extreme cases, it may not be possible tostart the vehicle as a result. You shouldtherefore always ensure that the high-volt-age battery is fully charged or that thecharging cable is connected when parkingthe vehicle for an extended period of timeat low outside temperatures.As the high-voltage battery ages, the capa-city of the high-voltage battery will dimin-ish over the battery's lifetime. This meansthat the maximum range and the maximumacceleration are reduced.

Using TomTom Services

Please note

The smart Media-System uses a mobilephone connection for data connection.Please take note of the following informa-tion when using data services:

RThe mobile connectivity and built-in SIMcard for this vehicle can only be used forcertain data services. These are offeredby certain third parties as well asDaimler AG. Usage occurs via the smartMedia-System in the vehicle. The use ofdata services requires the conclusion ofseparate agreements between the vehicleuser and the respective provider. Voiceservice usage is not permitted. As such,the SIM card must be permanentlyinstalled in the condition in which it wasdelivered.RThe mobile communications connectivity

and the SIM card may only be usedresponsibly in accordance with theapplicable laws and other legal require-ments of the corresponding countries.Provided that this is within the power ofthe vehicle user.RUpgrading, reproduction, reverse assem-

bly and disassembly of the SIM card arenot permitted. Statutory authorityremains unaffected.

Failure to follow the above instructions can,in some cases, lead to temporary or perma-nent deactivation of the mobile connectionand the SIM card. This depends on theseverity of non-observance. The measuredescribed here contributes in particular tothe protection of Daimler AG and its con-tractual partners from negative legal con-sequences due to non-observance. Theavailability of mobile connectivity in indi-vidual countries depends on the existenceof corresponding mobile service agree-ments with local mobile network providers.Availability can therefore change from timeto time.

Checking wheels and tyres

G Warning

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

Do not drive with a flat tyre. Immediatelyreplace the flat tyre with your sparewheel, or consult a qualified specialistworkshop.

G WARNING

Damaged tyres can cause tyre inflationpressure loss. As a result, you could losecontrol of your vehicle. There is a risk ofaccident.

Check the tyres regularly for signs ofdamage and replace any damaged tyresimmediately.

G WARNING

If there is insufficient tyre tread, the tyretraction will decrease. The tyre tread canno longer dissipate water. This increasesthe risk of aquaplaning on a wet roadsurface, especially when the vehicle'sspeed is not adapted to the road condi-tions. There is a risk of an accident.

If the tyre pressure is too high or too low,tyres may wear differently at differentpoints of the tyre tread. Regularly checkthe tyre tread depth and the condition ofthe tread across the whole width of alltyres, therefore.

Minimum tyre tread depth on:

RSummer tyres: 3 mm

RM+S tyres: 4 mm

For safety reasons, have the tyresreplaced before the legally specifiedminimum tread depth is reached.

! If you cannot avoid driving over obsta-cles, e.g. kerbs, do so slowly and at anobtuse angle only. You could otherwisedamage the wheel rims and tyres.

vehicle. These are specially adapted tothe systems, such as ABS or ESP®.Only use tyres and wheels tested andrecommended by smart. Certain charac-teristics, such as handling, vehicle noiseemissions, fuel consumption, etc. mayotherwise be adversely affected. Dimen-sional variations and altered tyre defor-mation when driving under load may alsocause the tyres to come into contact withthe vehicle body and axle components.This may result in damage to the tyre orthe vehicle.smart is not responsible for any damagecaused by using tyres and wheels otherthan those which have been tested andrecommended.You can obtain information about tyresand wheels from any qualified specialistworkshop, e.g. a smart Centre.

The service life of tyres depends on variousfactors, including the following:

Rdriving styleRtyre pressureRmileageObserve the following rules for selectingnew tyres:

Robserve country-specific regulationswhich stipulate or recommend a certaintyre type for the vehicle.Ronly fit tyres and wheels of the same

type and make.Ronly tyres of the same size may be used

on a single axle (left/right).Ronly use tyres of the same type (summer

tyres, all-season tyres, winter tyres).Ronly use wheel-tyre combinations

approved by smart.Rdo not wear tyres out too much. This oth-

erwise significantly reduces the tractionon wet roads (aquaplaning).Rreplace tyres after six years at the latest.Rthe use of a specific tyre type in certain

regions and areas of operation can behighly beneficial.

i Recommended tyre pressures for vari-ous operating states can be found on thetyre pressure table on the driver's sidedoor pillar (B-pillar).

You can find further information regardingtyres and wheels at specialist tyre retail-ers, at qualified specialist workshops andat any smart Centre.

Using the tyre pressure monitor

Useful information

It is the driver's responsibility to set thetyre pressure to the recommended cold tyrepressure suitable for the operating situa-tion.The tyre pressure monitor issues a warningwhen the pressure drops in one or more ofthe tyres.The tyre pressure monitor works properlyonly if sensors are present in all four tyres,and after the monitor has learned the cor-rect tyre pressure for the current operatingsituation. This occurs automatically inmost situations, but may also be specifiedafter restarting the tyre pressure monitor.Before restarting, check the tyres for therecommended tyre pressure.The tyre pressure monitor does not providea warning in the following cases:

Reven loss of pressure on multiple tyresRsudden loss of tyre pressure, e.g. due to

penetration by a foreign bodyRincorrectly set tyre pressureThe tyre pressure monitor has a yellowwarning lamp in the instrument cluster forindicating a pressure loss or malfunction.

Checking the tyre pressures

Please note

G WARNING

Underinflated or overinflated tyres posethe following risks:

Rthe tyres may burst, especially as theload and vehicle speed increase.

Rthe tyres may wear excessively and/orunevenly, which may greatly impairtyre traction.

Rthe driving characteristics, as well assteering and braking, may be greatlyimpaired.


Observe the recommended tyre pressureand check the tyre pressure of all thetyres:

Rat least every two weeks

Rwhen the load changes

Rbefore embarking on a longer journey

Rfor changed operating conditions, e.g.off-road driving

If necessary, correct the tyre pressure.

G WARNING

If you mount unsuitable accessories ontotyre valves, the tyre valves may be over-loaded and malfunction, which can causetyre pressure loss. Aftermarket tyre pres-sure monitoring systems will cause thetyre valve to remain open. This can alsoresult in tyre pressure loss. There is arisk of an accident.

Only screw standard valve caps or valvecaps specifically approved by smart foryour vehicle onto the tyre valve.

G WARNING

If the tyre pressure drops repeatedly, thewheel, valve or tyre may be damaged.Tyre pressure that is too low may resultin a tyre blow-out. There is a risk of acci-dent.

RCheck the tyre for foreign objects.

RCheck whether the wheel is losing airor the valve is leaking.

If you are unable to rectify the damage,contact a qualified specialist workshop.


Check the tyre pressure regularly, atleast every 14 days.

light for at least three hours.X Check the tyre pressure with a suitable

tyre pressure gauge.X If necessary, adjust the tyre pressure.X Restart the tyre pressure monitor.

Using winter tyres

G WARNING

M+S tyres with a tyre tread depth of lessthan 4 mm are not suitable for use inwinter as they do not provide sufficienttraction. There is a risk of accident.

M+S tyres with a tread depth of less than4 mm must be replaced.

At temperatures below +7 †, summer tyreslose elasticity and therefore traction andbraking power. Change the tyres on yourvehicle therefore to winter tyres or all-sea-son tyres marked with M+S. Using summertyres at very cold temperatures could causetears to form, thereby damaging the tyrespermanently. smart cannot accept respon-sibility for this type of damage.

Have the vehicle winterproofed at a quali-fied specialist workshop at the onset ofwinter.

X At low temperatures, use only wintertyres marked with M+S.

X When road conditions are wintry, useM+S tyres with the additional i snow-flake symbol.These tyres allow driving safety systems,e.g. ABS, to function optimally in thewinter.

X Use M+S tyres of the same make and treadon all wheels.

X When driving with M+S tyres, observe thespecified maximum permissible speed.

X Use only tyre types and sizes approvedfor smart.

X When using tyres with a specified direc-tion of rotation, observe the arrow on thesidewall indicating the tyre's direction ofrotation.

After fitting M+S tyres:

X Check the tyre pressure.X Restart the tyre pressure monitor.X If M+S tyres with a lower maximum per-

missible speed than that of the vehicleare fitted, affix an appropriate warninglabel in the driver's field of vision. Usingthe limiter, restrict the speed to the max-imum permissible speed for M+S tyres.

Installing two-way radios and mobilephones

G WARNING

The electromagnetic radiation from two-way radios can interfere with the vehicleelectronics if they are manipulated orretrofitted incorrectly. This could jeop-ardise the operating safety of the vehicle.There is a risk of an accident.

You should have all work on electricaland electronic components carried out ata qualified specialist workshop.

G WARNING

If you operate two-way radios incorrectlyin the vehicle, their electromagneticradiation can interfere with the vehicleelectronics, for example if:

Rthe two-way radio is not connected toan exterior aerial

Rthe exterior aerial is not correctlymounted or is not low-reflection

This could jeopardise the operatingsafety of the vehicle. There is a risk of anaccident.

Have the low-reflection exterior aerialfitted at a qualified specialist workshop.When operating two-way radios in thevehicle, always connect them to the low-reflection exterior aerial.

! Have the engine electronics and associ-ated parts, such as control units, sensors,actuating components or electric cablesserviced only at a qualified specialistworkshop. Vehicle components may oth-erwise wear more quickly and the vehi-

cle's operating permit may be invalida-ted.

! The operating permit may be invalida-ted if the instructions for installationand use of two-way radios are notobserved.In particular, the following requirementsmust be complied with:

Ronly approved wavebands may be usedRobserve the maximum permissible out-

put in these wavebandsRonly approved aerial positions may be

used

Excessive levels of electromagnetic radia-tion can cause damage to health. The use ofan exterior aerial takes into considerationthe scientific discussion surrounding thepossible health risk posed by electromag-netic fields.The following aerial positions may be usedfor the correct installation of two-wayradios:

: Front roof area; Rear roof area

Use Technical Specification ISO/TS 21609(Road Vehicles – "EMC guidelines forinstallation of aftermarket radio frequencytransmitting equipment") when retrofittingtwo-way radios. Comply with the legalrequirements for add-on parts.If your vehicle has fittings for two-wayradio equipment, use the power supply andaerial connections intended for use in thebasic wiring. Be sure to observe the manu-facturer's additional instructions duringinstallation.Deviations with respect to wavebands,maximum transmission outputs or aerialpositions must be approved by smart.
