Adjusting the seats
Adjusting the seats
Adjust the driver's seat to the correct po !
sition relative to the pedals and the steering wheel before starting a journey.
Accident risk!
Only adjust the driver's seat while the vehicle is stationary. You will otherwise 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 acci !
dent.
Danger of injury!
When adjusting the seat, make sure that no one is trapped.
Danger of injury!
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries in an accident or as a result of rapid deceleration, such as with an airbag inflating within a mat !
ter of milliseconds, please note the following:
!
All occupants must choose a seated position in which they are able to fasten the seat belt correctly and that is as far as possible from the front airbags.
The driver's seated position must be such that he is able to control the ve !
hicle safely. The driver must main !
tain sufficient distance from the pedals to be able to depress them fully. The driver's arms should be angled slightly when holding the steering wheel.
!
Position the passenger's seat as far back as possible, especially if child restraint systems* were attached to it and children were wearing these child restraint systems or are sit !
ting directly on the seat.
!
Occupants should always be wearing a seat belt correctly and recline against a backrest that is more or less upright. The head restraint should support the back of the head at approximately 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.

Seat belts
Seat belts
The seat belts with integrated belt ten !
sioners and belt limiters combine with the airbags to form a restraint system that offers maximum scope for protection in the event of an accident.
Danger of injury!
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, particularly pregnant women, always fasten their seat belt correctly, are sitting in a normal position and have their seat more or less in the upright position.
Danger of injury!
If you do not fit the seat belt cor !
rectly or do not engage it properly in the catch, it will be unable to protect you in the manner intended. In certain circumstances this could result in se !
rious or even fatal injuries. You should therefore make sure that all occupants
!
particularly pregnant women !
are al !
ways wearing their seat belt correctly.
Make sure that the belt
!
runs over the hip bone as low down as possible, i.e. across the hip joint and not across the stomach.
!
is taut.
!
is not twisted.
!
runs centrally over the shoulder.
!
does not run across the neck or is un !
derneath the arm.
!
is sufficiently taut across the pel !
vis; pull up the belt running across the chest to tauten it.
Always use a seat belt for one person only.
Never use a seat belt for an object and a person at one and the same time.
Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a winter coat.
Do not allow the belt to run across sharp or fragile objects, particularly on or inside your clothes, such as glasses, pens, keys, etc. The belt could other !
wise tear and expose you or other occu !
pants to a risk of injury.
Never carry children travelling on the lap of an occupant. In the event of an accident, abrupt braking or sudden changes of direction, it would no long !
er be possible to hold the child secure !
ly, and both the child and other occupants could sustain potentially fa !
tal injuries as a result.

Danger of injury!
Persons less than 150 centimetres tall and children under 12 years of age will be unable to fit the seat belts cor !
rectly. They consequently require ad !
ditional restraint systems* mounted on suitable car seats (e.g. child seats or child booster seats) for added protec !
tion in the event of an accident. Please also always observe the fitting in !
structions supplied by the manufactur !
er of the child restraint systems*.
Danger of injury!
The seat belt only provides the intended degree of occupant restraint if the backrest is almost vertical and the occupant is sitting upright. Avoid seated positions that prevent the seat belt from lying correctly across the wearer's body. For this reason, posi !
tion the backrest as vertically as pos !
sible. Never drive with a backrest reclined well back. You otherwise risk sustaining serious injury in the event of an accident or abrupt braking, with potentially fatal consequences in the case of accidents.
Seat belts
Danger of injury!
The seat belt may no longer func !
tion correctly if the belt or catch is dirty or damaged. For this reason, keep the belt and catch clean, as the buckle may otherwise not engage properly.
Check the seat belts regularly to ensure that
!
they are not damaged,
!
they are not running across sharp edges,
!
they are not trapped.
The belt could otherwise tear in the event of an accident. You or others could sustain serious or fatal injuries as a result.
If seat belts have been damaged or sub !
jected to high loads in an accident, have them replaced and have the belt anchorages checked.
For safety reasons, smart gmbh recom !
mends using only seat belts that smart gmbh has specifically approved for your vehicle.

Seat belts
Danger of injury!
Modifications or work performed inexpertly to a restraint system (seat belt and anchorages, belt tensioners, belt force limiters or airbag) or its wiring and any alterations made to oth !

Airbags or belt tensioners could e.g. fail to operate in accidents where the rate of deceleration exceeds the tripping threshold, or be activated un !

Belt tensioners and belt force limiters
Belt tensioners and belt force limiters
The front seat belts have:
!
belt tensioners,
!
belt force limiters.
Belt tensioners
!
tension the seat belts when activated, so that they lie tightly across the body.
!
are only triggered off in collisions with high vehicle deceleration/accel !
eration in the longitudinal direction, e.g. a head !
on collision.
> If the airbag indicator light comes on, your belt tensioner has been ac !
tivated.
Belt force limiters
!
reduce the force exerted by the belt on the occupants when activated in the event of an accident.
>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.
The belt force limiter is designed to op !
erate in unison with the front airbag, which absorbs a portion of the seat belt's decelerating forces, distributing the load over a larger area.
If the ignition is switched on, the belt tensioner is activated:
!
if the restraint systems are operation !
al.
!
in the event of a head !
on or rear !
end collision if the vehicle is decelerated or accelerated sufficiently in the lon !

Function of the air conditioning system
The air conditioning system improves the level of comfort when driving at high outside temperatures
!
by cooling down the air,
!
by dehumidifying the air.
It operates
!
only when the engine is running,
!
only when the blower is switched on,
!
most effectively when the windows are closed.
>Note!
Dehumidification of the air by air con !
ditioning means that the windows do not fog 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, the heater is switched to maxi !
mum.
>Note!
An integrated air filter cleans the fresh and recirculated air. It continues to op !
erate when the air conditioning system is switched off and you have switched the blower on.

Child restraint by locking the rear doors (see page 1 !
7)
!
Child restraint by locking the rear power windows* (see page 1 !
20)
!
Child restraint systems*
Child restraint systems*
Without suitable child restraint systems
!
the seat belts cannot be fastened cor !
rectly.
!
your children will be exposed to a greater risk of injury, as children's muscles and bones are not yet fully de !
veloped.
To reduce this increased risk of injury, children need suitable child restraint systems if they are
!
smaller than 150 cm (approx. 5 ft) or
!
under 12 years of age.
Only use those child restraint systems which are appropriate for your vehicle.
Details of these products are provided in the operating instructions for the indi !
vidual items. Please read them carefully.
>Note!
Current information on child restraint systems is available from a qualified specialist workshop, e. g. a smart center.
>Note!
Observe the respective national regula !
tions in this regard.

Child restraint systems
ISOFIX child seat attachment*
ISOFIX is a standardised attachment sys !
tem for special child seats. The mounting brackets for two child seats are located on the seat surface of the rear bench out !
er seats.
A smart center can provide you with in !
formation on the child restraint systems with ISOFIX attachments approved for use in your vehicle.
Child seat safety lock
The belts on the rear bench outer seats are equipped with a child seat safety lock. This allows you to secure a child seat against sliding. The child seat safety lock ensures that the belt remains tensioned after the child seat has been secured.
!
!
Activating the child seat safety lock
!
Pull the belt all the way out of the re !
tractor.
> The child seat safety lock is switched on.
When you release the belt, you will hear a clicking sound. The belt now cannot be pulled any further out of the retractor.
!
Secure the child seat with the belt in accordance with the instructions pro !
vided by the child seat manufacturer.
Insert the latch plate into the catch.
Retract the belt until it firmly rests on the child seat.
Deactivating the child seat safety lock
!
Press the release button on the belt
!
catch.
Coil the belt all the way into the re !
tractor.
> The child seat safety lock is switched off. You now can pull on and retract the belt as usual.
What you must note when transporting children!
Danger of injury!
Never leave a child alone in the car. It could for instance set the car moving, injure itself on moving parts, and open the doors in a manner that could endanger both itself and others.
Please also observe the warnings given elsewhere in these operating instruc !
tions regarding children and the vehi !

Child restraint systems
Danger of injury!
It will not be possible to fit the seat belts correctly on children under
150 centimetres (approx. 5 ft) tall or under 12 years of age without suitable support equipment. They therefore need special child restraint systems* for protection in the event of an acci !
dent.
Never carry children travelling on the lap of another occupant. Both you and the child will otherwise be unprotected in the event of an accident and could sustain serious or even fatal injuries.
When fitting a child restraint system*, observe the manufacturer's fitting in !
structions.
Preferably secure the child restraint system* on the rear bench outer seats.
The child will normally be better pro !
tected there.

Airbag disabling
Airbag disabling
If you use rearward !
facing child re !
straint systems* on the front passenger's seat, the front passenger's front airbag must be disabled. For the precise proce !
dure, please refer to page 6 !
3 5 .
Danger of injury!
If the airbag indicator light is not lit in the off position, the front passenger's front airbag may not be disabled. Should the airbag inflate, a child secured by a child restraint sys !
tem* on the front passenger's seat will be consequently exposed to the risk of life threatening injuries. In this in !
stance, proceed as follows:
!
Do not use a rear !
facing child re !
straint system* on the front passen !
ger's seat. The child could sustain serious or even fatal injuries as a result of the airbag being inflated.
!
Fit the rear !
facing child restraint system* on a suitable rear seat.
!
Use a forward !
facing child seat on the front passenger's seat, provided it is suitable for your child. In this instance, move the front passenger's seat to its rearmost position.
Danger of injury!
An incorrectly installed child seat could become dislodged in an ac !
cident or by braking manoeuvres or an abrupt change of direction and cause serious or even fatal injuries to the child and other occupants.
For this reason, never place other ob !
jects (such as cushions) beneath the child restraint system*. The entire base area of the child restraint system must always be in contact with the seat surface.

Airbag disabling
Danger of injury!
To reduce the risk of serious or even fatal injuries to the child in the event of an accident, braking manoeu !
vres or sudden changes of direction, please note the following:
!
On child restraint systems* that do not have their own belt system, the shoulder belt of the 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.
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 a smart center, and have them replaced if necessary.

Driving in winter
Things to do before the onset of winter
We recommend that you have your car checked by a qualified specialist work !
shop such as a smart center before the on !
set of winter.
Accident risk!
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 weather, road and traffic conditions.
You should therefore reduce your speed before entering a bend. You could oth !
erwise cause an accident.
Driving in winter
Electronic systems (such as esp) are not able to overcome the laws of physics.
Adapt your driving style and speed to the winter road conditions and exercise cau !
tion when accelerating and braking.
Accident risk!
Electronic control systems such as esp are only able to stabilise the ve !
hicle subject to the laws of physics. Al !
ways adapt your speed to the weather, road and traffic conditions.
Please pay particular attention to the following notes concerning winter driving:
!
In the interests of safety, we recom !
mend fitting the tyres specifically ap !
proved for your vehicle by smart gmbh.
These tyres are chosen specifically to suit control systems such as abs and esp. If you use other tyres, smart gmbh is unable to accept any responsibility for damage resulting from their use.
!
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 as early as possible be !
fore entering a bend.

Driving with a catalytic converter
Driving with a catalytic converter
Things you need to know
!
The catalytic converter reduces ex !
haust emissions.
!
The catalytic converter is located in !
side the engine compartment, at the front.
!
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.
!
If the engine starts to misfire, bring the car to an immediate standstill without endangering traffic.
!
If the 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.
Fire hazard!
The catalytic converter can get extremely hot. Coming into contact with it could result in burns. For this reason
!
never remove its protective guard.
!
do not apply 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.

Driving with a trailer
Driving with a trailer
A trailer alters the handling of your ve !
hicle.
The outfit
!
is heavier,
!
will be able to accelerate and climb hills less easily
!
requires a longer braking distance,
!
will be more susceptible to gusty cross !
winds.
Fuel consumption is higher when a trail !
er is being towed.
Tips on driving with a trailer:
!
We recommend using the maximum per !
mitted nose weight.
!
The load inside the car must be reduced in line with the nose weight, to avoid exceeding the rear axle load limit.
!
You should not exceed a speed of
80 km/h (approx. 50 mph), including in countries where higher speeds are permitted.
!
Avoid braking abruptly; instead, apply the brakes gently at first to allow the trailer to run up first. Then increase braking force rapidly.
!
If the trailer should start to snake, re !
duce your speed; do not take corrective steering action, and brake if neces !
sary. Never try to straighten out the car and trailer outfit by increasing your speed.
!
The hill !
climbing capacity from a dead stop is quoted at sea level. When driving in mountainous regions, bear in mind that engine output deterio !
rates at increasing altitude, and that its hill !
climbing ability will conse !
quently also be reduced.
>Important!
Do not uncouple a trailer with an over !
running brake when in a run !
up state. The overrunning brake could rebound and damage the bumper.

Driving notes
Driving notes
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.
1. Take five
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 ten seconds to save money.
>Important for vehicles with automated manual transmission (softouch plus)*!
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 .
2. Full speed ahead
Driving off expends considerably more energy than driving at a constant speed.
So when starting off, drive for no more than two vehicle lengths in 1st gear and accelerate briskly with the throttle at least three quarters of the way down.
3. Please shift
Shift gears in good time when the gear indicator in the display advises you to do so.
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.
5. Letting go
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).
6. Under pressure
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 tyre types and load con !
ditions.
7. Travelling light
Unnecessary articles stored in the lug !
gage compartment will also increase fuel consumption. We would therefore advise you to check the luggage compartment from time to time and remove any unnec !
essary articles.
8. The perfect setting
Have your car checked regularly by a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. in a smart center. Do not exceed the scheduled service intervals.
Environment!
You will save energy and help to protect the environment if you refrain from warming up the engine before driving off and switch the engine off when stationary due to a traffic !
in !
duced delay.

Brakes
Handbrake
The handbrake serves to secure the car against rolling away when it is station !
ary or parked.
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 !
and cause an acci !
dent.
Operating the handbrake
!
Pull the lever upwards.
> The lever engages automatically when pulled up.

til you switch off the ignition.
!
!
!
Releasing the handbrake
Lift the lever up slightly.
Push lock knob (A).
Push the lever down.
> The brake system indicator light goes out.
Accident risk!
Do not leave children unsuper !
vised in the car. They could e.g. release the handbrake This could result in an accident and cause serious or even fatal injuries!

Brakes
Footbrake
The footbrake has two brake circuits that are independent of each other. A brake servo is used when braking to increase pedal force.
Accident risk!
Never restrict the free movement of the pedals in any way. Never place any loose objects in the driver's foot !
well. Ensure that there is sufficient clearance from floor mats or carpets.
Do not leave children unsupervised in the car. They could remove a gear that has been engaged, or release the hand !
brake.
This could allow the car to set itself in motion and cause an accident.
If a brake circuit fails (see "Brake sys !
tem faults", page 6 !
2 5 ),
!
you must press the brake pedal further down to achieve the maximum possible braking effect.
!
the braking distance is longer.
!
!
!
!
Immediately park your car away from moving traffic.
Secure your car against rolling away if you have to leave it.
Do not drive any further.
Call a breakdown recovery service, e.g. smartmove Assistance or a smart center.

Brakes
>Note!
The brake servo will function only with the engine switched on.
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.
The mechanical !
acoustic brake pad display
The car is equipped with a mechanical !
acoustic brake pad display. If you can hear a continuous noise from the front axle when braking, you should take the car to a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart center.
Anti
!
lock braking system (abs) with electronic brake force distribution
Accident risk!
The risk of accidents increases
!
if you drive too fast, particularly into corners,
!
on wet and slippery surfaces,
!
if you drive too close to the vehicle in front.
abs and esp can reduce this risk but not exclude it entirely. Always adapt your driving style to the prevailing road, traffic and weather conditions.
The anti !
lock braking system prevents the wheels from locking when the brakes are applied. This upholds the steerabil !
ity of your car.
If the abs cuts in while you are braking, you will feel a pulsating sensation of the brake pedal.
Braking using abs
In emergency situations:
!
Press the footbrake down quickly and as
!
hard as you can.
Continue to apply the brakes even when the pedal starts to pulsate. Increase the braking force if possible. This way you will achieve maximum decelera !
tion.

Airbags
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, or if the brakes are applied abruptly, please note the following:
!
All occupants must adopt a seated po !
sition where they are able to fit the seat belt correctly and are seated as far as possible from the airbag. The driver's seated position must never !
theless allow the car to be driven safely. The driver's arms should be angled slightly when holding the steering wheel. The driver must maintain sufficient distance from the pedals to be able to depress them 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.
!
The car's occupants should always be wearing a seat belt correctly and re !
cline against a backrest that is more or less upright. The head restraint should support the back of the head at approximately eye level.
!
Position the front passenger's seat as far back as possible, particularly if children are secured to it by means of a child restraint system*.
!
Do not secure rearward !
facing child seats to the front passenger's seat if the front passenger's front airbag has not been disabled. In order to fit a rear !
facing child restraint system on the front passenger's seat, disa !
ble the front passenger's airbag first. Forward !
facing child re !
straint systems may only be fitted to the front passenger's 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 place your feet on the instru !
ment panel.
!
Only grip the steering wheel by its outer rim. These precautions ensure that the airbag can inflate unimped !
ed. If you hold the inside of the steering wheel, you could be injured in the event of the airbag being trig !
gered off.
!
Do not lean or lie against the doors while travelling.
!
Do not place any objects on the air !
bags or between the airbags and the occupants.
!
Do not hang any hard objects such as coat hangers from the grab handles or coat hooks.
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.

Airbags
Airbag operating principle
The airbag is inflated in a matter of mil !
liseconds. The indicator light comes on.
>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.
The inflated airbag slows and reduces the movement of the occupant. When the occupant makes contact with the airbag, hot gas flows out of the inflated front airbags and side airbags. This reduces the load on the occupant's head and upper body. These airbags are consequently de !
flated after the accident.
Danger of injury!
After airbags have been inflated:
!
airbag components will be hot. Do not touch them as you otherwise risk sus !
taining burns.
!
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. It is particularly important to have safety !
relevant work and work on safety !
relevant systems per !
formed by a qualified specialist workshop.
Danger of injury!
A small amount of fine powder is released for a short period when an airbag is inflated. This fine powder is entirely harmless; its smoky appear !
ance does not indicate a fire in the car.
The fine powder could provoke tempo !
rary breathing difficulties in people with asthma or respiratory problems.
To avoid these breathing difficulties, such persons should either leave the car provided it is safe to do so, or open the windows to let fresh air in.

Airbags
Danger of injury!
In the interests of safety, smart gmbh recommends that seat covers that have been tested for cars built by smart gmbh and have a designated tear seam be used on cars with side airbags. A side airbag could otherwise fail to de !
ploy correctly and achieve its intended protective potential in the event of an accident.
Driver's airbag/front passenger's 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,
!
if there is the prospect of supplement !
ing the protective potential of the seat belt,
!
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's front airbag will only trigger if the airbag has not been manually deactivated.
Danger of injury!
If the airbag indicator light does not come on when a baby carrier is fitted to the passenger's seat, the pas !
senger's airbag has not been deactivat !
ed. If the passenger's airbag has not been deactivated, a child could sustain serious or even fatal injuries in the event of the airbag on the passenger's side being triggered, particularly if the child is in the immediate vicinity of the passenger's airbag at the time of its activation.

Side airbags
The side airbags are integrated into the driver's and front passenger's seat back !
rests. If activated, they are intended to increase the potential protection for the thorax (but not the head, neck and arms) of the occupants on the side of the car that is struck.
Danger of injury!
To minimise the risk of injury if a side airbag deploys, you should en !
sure that
!
there are no other persons, pets or objects between each occupant and the range protected by a side airbag.
!
only lightweight garments are hung from the clothes hooks in the car.
!
there are no heavy or sharp !

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.
!

Danger of injury!
If the airbag indicator light does not come on when a baby carrier is fitted to the passenger's seat, the pas !
senger's airbag has not been deactivat !

Danger of injury!
For this reason, you should never carry a child on the passenger's seat in a child restraint system that faces to the rear if the passenger's airbag has not been deactivated, i.e. if the airbag indicator light is not lit.
Also observe the corresponding warn !

Trailer hitch*
Electrical connection
If your trailer has a 7 !
pin plug, you can establish the electrical connection with an adapter lead. The adapter lead is available at a smart center.
As soon as you connect up a trailer to the car's electrical system, the appropriate indicator light in the instrument cluster will come on when you make a turn.
Accident risk!
The ball head is only securely fitted if the green mark on the hand !
wheel is aligned with the green mark on the ball head and the key can be re !
moved. A ball head that is not securely fitted could work loose and allow the trailer to become detached, potential !
ly causing an accident.
While a trailer is being towed, the ball head must be closed and the key re !
moved. Only then is it assured that the ball head is locked and unable to work loose during a journey.
If the ball head cannot be locked and the key cannot be removed, take off the ball head and clean it (see also page 7 !
18). If it is still not possible to lock the ball head after cleaning, have the entire trailer hitch checked by a qualified spe !
cialist workshop, such as a smart cent !
er.
In this case, do not use the trailer hitch for towing a trailer, as its safe functioning cannot be assured.
Danger of injury!
Never leave the ball head lying loose inside the car. It could otherwise be thrown around in the event of sharp braking, an abrupt change of direction or an accident and cause serious or even fatal injuries to occupants.

While en route
Your car's handling characteristics are dependent upon the load distribution.
Danger of poisoning!
Close the tailgate before driv !
ing. Exhaust emissions could otherwise enter the car and poison the occupants.
Danger of injury!
Loaded objects always must be properly tied down. In the event of an emergency braking manoeuvre or an ac !
cident, they could enter the passenger compartment.
Danger of injury!
Objects on the passenger's seat should always be secured in such a way that they will not obstruct the driver when driving.
Danger of injury!
Transport heavy or hard objects in the luggage compartment, not the passenger compartment. Such objects could otherwise be thrown around and injure you and others if you
!
brake sharply,
!

!
are involved in an accident.
The bench seat alone is unable to pre !
vent objects from being thrown around.
Accident risk!
The permissible gross vehicle weight and the permissible axle load must not be exceeded by the payload
(interior, roof rack and rear rack) in !
cluding the occupants and trailer load.
Overloading or incorrectly loading the vehicle impairs driving stability, and the altered road behaviour could result in tyre damage! This poses the risk of accidents.

Reduced payload
Optional extras and accessories increase the curb weight, which in turn reduce payload.
Fitting a roof rack reduces the potential payload. Please also read the accessories operating instructions for the individu !
al components.
Attaching a trailer reduces the potential payload by up to 50 kilograms (approx.
110 lb).
Environment!
Unnecessary ballast increases vehicle weight and fuel consumption.
>Note!
When calculating the roof load (maximum of 50 kilograms/110 lb), bear in mind that the weight of the roof rack itself should also be included.
>Note!
More information on "Dimensions and weights" is available from page 10 !

Refuelling
Before adding fuel
All petrol engines:
Never refuel with leaded petrol!
If this occurs,
!
immediately call a qualified special !
ist workshop, e.g. a smart center or a breakdown recovery service, e.g. smartmove Assistance.

Do not start the engine.
Otherwise the catalytic converter will be damaged.
The following applies to all diesel en !
gines:
Never refuel with petrol!
Refuelling properly
Danger of injury!
Fuel is a very flammable liquid.
Fire, naked flames and smoking are therefore prohibited when handling fuel.
Avoid allowing fuel to come into con !
tact with your skin or clothes. You will damage your health if
!
your skin comes directly into contact with fuel.
!
you inhale fuel vapours.

Choosing the right type of oil
Use only engine oils which have been ap !
proved by smart gmbh. The MB sheet number is marked on the oil containers
(petrol engines: sheet 229.1, 229.3 or
229.5, diesel engines: sheet 229.3 or
229.5). A list of the approved engine oils can be obtained from any smart center or smart service.
>Important!
Do not use special additives. They may lead to increased wear or engine damage.
A qualified specialist workshop such as a 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.

Tyre inflation pressure
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,
!
investigate the tyre for foreign ob !
jects.
!
check whether there is a leak at the rim or valve.
Accident risk!
Insufficient tyre pressure leads to
!
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 of the 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.

Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre pressures before the start of your journey. There is a table showing the tyre pressures for various load sta !
tuses on your car's fuel filler flap.
>Note!
The tyre inflation pressures quoted for low car loads are minimum values which will assure a high standard of ride com !
fort. You may also use the values for the higher load. These are permissible and technically appropriate. The standard of ride comfort will, however, be slightly lower.
Tyre inflation pressures change by about
0.1 bar per 10 °C change in the air tem !
perature. Always adjust the tyre infla !
tion pressure when you have loaded up the car. Observe the maximum tyre pressure for the tyres.

The fuse box is located on the left !
hand side below the cockpit, in the driver's footwell.
Fire hazard!
Never use fuses with a higher am !
perage and do not repair or bypass de !
fective fuses. This could lead to dam !
age to the electrical system and ultimately cause a fire.
>Important!
Blown fuses must be replaced with equiv !
alent fuses (recognisable by colour and amperage) that have the amperages which are recommended in the fuse assignment.
Only change fuses when the vehicle is parked. Also switch off all consumers as well as the ignition.
If a newly replaced fuse blows again, have the cause of the problem determined and rectified in a qualified specialist work !
shop, e.g. a smart center.
Changing a fuse
!
Shut down all electrical consumers and switch the ignition off before chang !
!
ing a fuse.
Use the fuse table (see page 9 !
6 ff) to ascertain which fuse is assigned to the failed consumer.
!
Remove the corresponding fuse from its holder.
!
Replace the defective fuse with a new one of identical amperage.

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 sta !
tus and acid level checked at the start of the cold season by a qualified spe !
cialist workshop, e.g. a smart center.
!
The battery stoppers on the top must be opened to check the acid level. Acid must come up to MAX mark.
!
If the car is used almost exclusively for short trips, recharge the battery approximately every three months.
This will preserve your vehicle's 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.
!
If the car is left for extended periods of time (three to four weeks) with the battery still connected, it must be re !
charged.

General information
In the interests of safety, smart gmbh recommends that you use tyres that it has specially approved for your car. These tyres have been chosen to suit control systems such as abs and esp. If you use other tyres, smart gmbh is unable to ac !
cept any responsibility for damage re !
sulting from their use. Information on tyres is available from any smart center.
If you use tyres other than those tested and recommended by smart gmbh, their characteristics such as road be !
haviour, 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!
Use only the tyre types, tyre sizes and wheel sizes that are approved for your type of vehicle.
If you fit different wheels:
!
the wheel brakes or suspension com !
ponents could be damaged.
!
clearance between the wheels and tyres 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.

Tyres and wheels
Please note in particular:
!
Use only tyres and wheels of the same type and make.
!
Fit only the correct type of tyre on each wheel.
!
Where a 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 winter tyres with a tread depth of less than 4 millimetres should therefore be replaced 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 fu !
el. 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 tyre condition at regular intervals.
A tyre specialist shop or a qualified spe !
cialist workshop, such as a smart center, will be able to supply further informa !
tion on
!
tyre load capacity (LI, 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, op !
erating areas or operating conditions of the vehicle.
!
scope for converting tyres, etc.

Tyres and wheels
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 (1/8 in) for summer tyres and 4 millimetres (3/16 in) for winter tyres.
Along with increasing tyre wear, the tyres' grip and car's handling character !
istics 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 a qual !
ified specialist workshop such as a smart center.
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.
Danger of injury!
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 to cut through the water. You could lose control over your vehicle, cause an ac !
cident 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. All tyres exhibiting such defects should 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 production, preceded by two digits indi !
cating 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 pressure,
!
weather and environmental factors, contact with oils, greases, fuels, etc.
Tyres and wheels
Accident risk!
Driving over curbs or sharp !
edged objects can cause damage to the 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 over your vehicle as a result and cause an accident which could injure yourself or others.
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 other persons.
Interchanging wheels
Accident risk!
Only interchange the front and rear wheels if they are of the same di !
mensions, e.g. rim size, wheel offset.
On cars with the same size of wheels all round, depending on the level of wear you can interchange the wheels every 5,000 to
10,000 kilometres (approx. 3,000 to 6,000 miles). Always keep a wheel's direction of rotation the same.
The front and rear wheels will wear at different rates, depending on the oper !
ating conditions. Interchange the wheels before a characteristic wear pattern has become established on the tyres.
Clean the contact surface of the wheels and brake disc/inner side of the wheel each time the wheels are changed. Check the tyre pressure.

Changing a wheel
Accident risk!
Exceeding the quoted tyre load capacity and the permissible speed limit can result in tyre damage or tyre fail !
ure. You could lose control over your vehicle and cause an accident, injuring yourself or others as a result.
For this reason, use only the tyre types, tyre sizes and wheel sizes that are ap !
proved for your type of vehicle. Please note in particular the customer !

cific approval regulations 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.
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 a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart center.
Accident risk!
After changing a wheel, have the tightening torque checked by a quali !
fied specialist workshop, e.g. a smart center. Particularly for safety !
rele !
vant work and work on safety !
relevant systems, it is vitally important to use a qualified specialist workshop such as a smart center. The wheels could other !
wise work loose if they are not tight !

1 The petrol engines are designed to run on unleaded petrol of at least 95RON/85MON (130 kW: 98RON/88MON). In countries in which unleaded fuel with at least 95RON/
85MON (130 kW: 98RON/88MON) is not available, you can use unleaded fuel with 91RON (130 kW: 95RON) in emergencies. This, however, can reduce engine output and in !
crease fuel consumption. When subjected to heavy loads while burning grade 91RON fuel (130 kW: 95RON), engine damage could result. smart recommends that you always run your petrol engine on unleaded petrol with a minimum grade of 95RON/85MON (130 kW: 95RON/88MON).
