Protection of the environment

General notes

The declared policy of Daimler AG is one ofcomprehensive environmental protection.The objective is to use the natural resourceswhich form the basis of our existence on thisplanet sparingly and in a manner which takesthe requirements of both nature and humanityinto account.Everyone can do their part to protect theenvironment by operating their vehicles inan environmentally responsible manner. Fuelconsumption and wear on engine, transmis-sion, brakes and tyres can be reduced in thefollowing ways:Optimising vehicle operating conditions:RMaintaining the correct tyre pressure.RNot travelling with unnecessary weight.RRemoving roof racks when not needed.RAdhering to service intervals.RAlways having maintenance work carried

out at a qualified specialist workshop.Adapting your personal driving style:RDo not depress the accelerator pedal when

starting the engine.RDo not run the engine on idle when the vehi-

cle is stationary.RDrive carefully and maintain a suitable

distance from the vehicle in front.RAvoid frequent or sudden acceleration and

braking.ROnly use each gear up to ⅔ of its range.RSwitch off the engine when waiting in sta-

tionary traffic.RBe aware of the vehicle's fuel consumption.

Returning an end-of-life vehicle

EU countries only:smart will take back and dispose of end-of-life vehicles in an environmentally-respon-sible manner in accordance with the EuropeanUnion (EU) End of Life Vehicles Directive.Everyone can play a valuable part in protect-ing resources by returning their vehicle to acollection point or disassembly plant.Returning vehicles to these facilities is freeof charge.

Occupant safety

Restraint system

Protection provided by the restraintsystem

The restraint system includes the:

Rseat belt systemRairbagsRchild restraint systemRchild seat securing systemIn an accident the restraint system can:

Rreduce the risk of vehicle occupants com-ing into contact with parts of the vehicleinteriorRreduce the forces to which vehicle occu-

pants are subjectedA 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 a cor-rectly worn seat belt. Not every accident willtrigger the seat belt tensioners and/ordeploy the airbags.To ensure that the restraint system providesthe maximum protection, every vehicle occu-pant must:

Rbe seated with the seat belt fastened cor-rectlyRbe in an almost upright position with their

back against the seat backrestRhave their feet resting on the floor, if pos-

sibleRalways be secured in special restraint sys-

tems suitable for smart vehicles if under1.50 m tall

However, no system available today can com-pletely eliminate injuries and fatalities inevery accident. In particular, the seat beltand airbag generally do not protect againstobjects penetrating the vehicle from the out-side. The risk of injuries due to a deployedairbag also cannot be completely eliminated.

Limited protection from restraint sys-tem

G WARNING

If the restraint system is modified, it mayno longer work as intended. The restraint

system may then not perform its intendedprotective function by failing in an acci-dent or triggering unexpectedly, for exam-ple. There is an increased risk of injury,possibly even fatal.

Never modify parts of the restraint system.Do not attempt to modify the wiring as wellas electronic components or their software.

If the vehicle needs to be adjusted to accom-modate a person with disabilities, contact aqualified specialist workshop. smart recom-mends that you only use driving assistancesystems which have been approved for yourvehicle by smart.

Preparing the restraint system for oper-ation

When the ignition is switched on, the 6restraint system warning lamp lights up dur-ing the system self-test. It goes out no laterthan a few seconds after the vehicle is star-ted. The components of the restraint systemare then ready for operation.

Restraint system malfunctions

RWhen the ignition is switched on, the 6restraint system warning lamp does notlight up.RWhile driving, the 6 restraint system

warning lamp remains lit or lights uprepeatedly.

G WARNING

If the restraint system is malfunctioning,restraint system components may be trig-gered unintentionally or may not deploy asintended during an accident. This mayaffect the seat belt tensioner or airbag, forexample. This poses an increased risk ofinjury or even fatal injury.

Have the restraint system checked andrepaired immediately at a qualified spe-cialist workshop.

Restraint system response during anaccident

The way the restraint system respondsdepends on the severity of the impact detec-ted and the apparent type of accident:

Rhead-on collisionRrear impactRside impactThe activation threshold for the restraintsystem components is determined based onthe analysis of the sensor values measured atvarious points in the vehicle. This process ispre-emptive in nature. The triggering proc-ess of the restraint system components shouldtake place in good time at the start of thecollision.Factors which can only be seen and measuredafter a collision has occurred do not play adecisive role in the deployment of an airbag,nor do they provide an indication of airbagdeployment.The vehicle may be deformed significantlywithout an airbag being deployed. This is thecase if only parts which are relatively easilydeformed are affected and the rate of vehicledeceleration is not high. Conversely, an air-bag may be deployed even though the vehiclesuffers only minor deformation. If, forinstance, very rigid vehicle parts such aslongitudinal body members are hit, the rateof vehicle deceleration may be sufficient.The restraint system components can be acti-vated or triggered independently of eachother:

Component Detected triggersituation

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

Driver's airbag,front-passengerfront airbag andknee bag

Head-on collision

Sidebag Side impact

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 the vehi-cle towed to a qualified specialist work-shop after an accident. Take this intoaccount, particularly if a seat belt ten-sioner was triggered or an airbag wasdeployed.

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

RThe bang will not usually affect your hear-ing.RIn general, the powder released is not haz-

ardous to health but may cause short-termbreathing difficulties to persons suffer-ing from asthma or other pulmonary condi-tions.Provided it is safe to do so, leave the vehi-cle immediately or open the window inorder to prevent breathing difficulties.

Seat belts

Protection provided by seat belts

Always fasten seat belts correctly beforestarting your journey. A seat belt can onlyprovide maximum protection when worn cor-rectly.

G WARNING

If the seat belt is worn incorrectly, it can-not perform its intended protective func-tion. Furthermore, an incorrectly worn seatbelt can cause additional injuries, e.g. inthe event of an accident, heavy braking orsudden changes of direction. There is anincreased risk of injury, possibly evenfatal.

Always ensure that all vehicle occupantshave their seat belts fastened correctly andare sitting properly.

Z

RThe seat belt must:- not be twisted and must be tight and fit

snugly across your body- be routed across the centre of the shoul-

der and as low down across your hips aspossible

RThe shoulder section of the seat belt shouldnot touch your neck nor be routed under yourarm or behind your back.RAvoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a winter

coat.RPress the lap belt down into your hip joints

and pull tight by the shoulder section of thebelt. The lap belt must never be routedacross your stomach or abdomen.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 of thevehicle's occupants. Always observe thenotes on "Loading the vehicle" for securingobjects, luggage or loads (Y page 118).

If children are travelling in the vehicle, besure to observe the instructions and safetynotes on "Children in the vehicle"(Y page 34).

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 position.When braking or in the event of an accident,you could slide underneath the seat belt andsustain abdomen or neck injuries, forexample. This poses an increased risk ofinjury or even fatal injury.

Adjust the seat properly before beginningyour journey. Always ensure that the back-rest is in an almost vertical position andthat the shoulder section of your seatbelt isrouted across the centre of your 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 the eventof an accident, heavy braking or suddenchanges of direction. There is an increasedrisk of injury, possibly even fatal.

Always secure persons less than 1.50 m tallin additional suitable restraint systems.

G WARNING

Seat belts cannot protect as intended, if:

Rthey are damaged, have been modified,are extremely dirty, bleached or dyed

Rthe seat belt buckle is damaged orextremely dirty

Rmodifications have been made to the belttensioners, belt anchorages or inertiareels

Seat belts may sustain non-visible damagein an accident, e.g. due to glass splinters.Modified or damaged seat belts can tear orfail, for example in the event of an acci-dent. Modified seat belt tensioners may bedeployed unintentionally or not function asintended. There is an increased risk ofinjury, possibly even fatal.

Never modify seat belts, seat belt tension-ers, seat belt anchorages and inertia reels.Ensure that seat belts are not damaged orworn and are clean. After an accident, havethe seat belts checked immediately at aqualified specialist workshop.

smart recommends that you only use seat beltswhich have been approved specifically foryour vehicle by smart.

G WARNING

Pyrotechnical belt tensioners which havebeen triggered are no longer operationaland therefore cannot protect as intended.

30 Occupant safety>>

Saf

ety.

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 vehicletowed to a qualified specialist workshopafter an accident.

! Make sure that the seat belt is fully rolledup. Otherwise, the seat belt or belt tonguewill be trapped in the door or in the seatmechanism. This could damage the door, thedoor trim panel and the seat belt. Damagedseat belts can no longer fulfil their pro-tective function and must be replaced.Visit a qualified specialist workshop.

The front-passenger front airbag can only bedeployed in an accident if the PASSENGER AIRBAG ON indicator lamp is lit. If the front-passenger seat is occupied, make sure thatthe status of the front-passenger front airbagis correct both before and during the journey(Y page 33).

Protection provided by the airbags

Depending on the type of accident, an airbagcan supplement a correctly worn seat belt andprovide added protection.

G WARNING

If you deviate from the correct seat posi-tion, the airbag cannot perform its inten-ded protective function and can even causeadditional injuries when deployed. Thereis an increased risk of serious or even fatalinjuries.

In order to avoid such risks, always ensurethat all vehicle occupants:

Rfasten their seatbelts correctly, includ-ing pregnant women

Rare seated correctly and maintain thefurthest possible distance from the air-bags

Robserve the following notes

Always ensure that there are no objectslocated between the airbag and the vehicleoccupant.

To avoid risks as a result of a deployed air-bag:

RAdjust seats correctly before starting yourjourney and move the driver's and front-passenger seat as far back as possible.Always observe the information on the cor-rect driver's seat position (Y page 45).ROnly hold onto the outside of the steering

wheel rim. This allows the airbag to befully deployed.RAlways lean against the backrest while

driving. Do not lean forwards or leanagainst the door or side window. You mayotherwise be in the deployment area of theairbags.RAlways keep your feet on the floor. Do not

put your feet on the dashboard, for example.Your feet may otherwise be in the deploy-ment area of the airbag.RWhen children are travelling in the vehi-

cle, follow the related additional notes(Y page 34).RAlways properly stow and secure objects.Objects in the vehicle interior may limit anairbag's ability to function correctly.Therefore, always make sure that:

RThere are no people, animals or objectsbetween the vehicle occupants and an air-bag.RThere are no objects between the seat, the

door and the door pillar (B-pillar).RNo hard objects, e.g. coat hangers, are

hanging on the grab handles or coat hooks.RNo accessories, such as cup holders, are

attached to the vehicle within the deploy-ment area of an airbag, e.g. to doors, sidewindows or side trim panels.RNo heavy, sharp-edged or fragile objects

are in the pockets of clothing Store suchobjects in a suitable place.

G WARNING

Unsuitable seat covers may obstruct or evenprevent deployment of the airbags integra-ted into the seats. The airbags may then failto protect the vehicle occupants as inten-ded. There is an increased risk of injury,possibly even fatal.

Use only seat covers which have been spe-cifically approved for the respective seatby smart.

G WARNING

Sensors to control the airbags are locatedin the doors. Modifications or work notperformed correctly to the doors or doorpanelling, as well as damaged doors, canlead to the function of the sensors beingimpaired. The airbags might therefore notfunction properly any more. Consequently,the airbags cannot protect vehicle occu-pants as they are designed to do. This posesan increased risk of injury.

Never modify the doors or parts of thedoors. Always have work on the doors or doorpanelling carried out at a qualified spe-cialist workshop.

G WARNING

An airbag that has been deployed once can-not provide any further protection and, inthe event of an accident, can no longer per-form its intended protective function.There is an increased risk of injury.

Have the vehicle towed to a qualified spe-cialist workshop to have the deployed air-bag replaced.

Have deployed airbags replaced immedi-ately.

Driving safely

Driving safety system limitations

! Make sure you have suitable tyres, so thatassistance systems and driving safety sys-tems can work as effectively as possible.

42 Driving safely>>

Saf

ety.

If you fail to adapt your driving style or if youare inattentive, the driving safety systemscan neither reduce the risk of accident noroverride the laws of physics. Driving safetysystems are merely aids designed to assistdriving. You are responsible for the distanceto the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed andfor braking in good time. Always adapt yourdriving style to suit the prevailing road,weather and traffic conditions and maintaina safe distance from the vehicle in front.Drive carefully.For safety reasons, smart recommends that youonly use snow chains that have been speciallyapproved for your vehicle by smart. Furtherinformation can be obtained at a smart centreor a qualified specialist workshop.

Braking with ABS (Anti-lock BrakingSystem)

ABS regulates brake pressure in such a waythat the wheels do not lock when you brake.This allows you to continue steering the vehi-cle when braking.When you switch on the ignition, the !warning lamp in the instrument cluster lightsup. It goes out after the engine is started.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 when you only brake gently.X To brake while ABS intervenes: continue to

depress the brake pedal with force untilthe 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 lock whenbraking. The steerability and brakingcharacteristics may be severely impaired.Additionally, further driving safety sys-tems are deactivated. There is an increaseddanger of skidding and accidents.

Drive on carefully. Have ABS checked imme-diately at a qualified specialist workshop.

Using the forward collision warning

If a risk of collision with the vehicle in frontis detected, the forward collision warningalerts the driver both visually and acousti-cally.The forward collision warning is activatedwhen you start the engine.With the help of the radar sensor system, theforward collision warning can detect obsta-cles that are in the path of your vehicle for anextended period of time.Up to a speed of approximately 70 km/h, theforward collision warning can react to sta-tionary obstacles, such as stationary orparked vehicles.

G WARNING

The distance warning function does notreact:

Rto people or animals

Rto oncoming vehicles

Rto crossing traffic

Rwhen cornering

Thus, the distance warning function cannotprovide a warning in all critical situa-tions. There is a risk of an accident.

Always pay careful attention to the trafficsituation and be ready to brake.

G WARNING

The distance warning function cannotalways clearly identify objects and com-plex traffic situations.

In such cases, the distance warning func-tion may:

Rgive an unnecessary warning

Rnot give a warning

There is a risk of an accident.

Always pay careful attention to the trafficsituation; do not rely on the distance warn-ing function alone.

Detection can be restricted under the follow-ing conditions:

Rthe vehicle is new or service work has beencarried out on the system. In this case,observe the information on running-in thevehicleRthe sensors are dirty or coveredRin heavy rain or snowRinterference by other radar sources, e.g. in

multi-storey car parksRthe vehicle travelling in front is narrow,

e.g. a motorcycleRthe vehicle travelling in front is travel-

ling on a different lineFollowing any damage to the front end of thevehicle, have the configuration and opera-tion of the radar sensor checked at a quali-fied specialist workshop. This also appliesto collisions at slow speeds where there is novisible damage to the front of the vehicle.

X Press the switch symbol.If the forward collision warning is deac-tivated, the indicator lamp lights up.

Driving with ESP®

ESP® supports the driver when pulling away onwet or slippery roads. ESP® can also stabilisethe vehicle during braking. ESP® comprisesETS (Electronic Traction System) and Cross-wind Assist.

If ESP® detects that the vehicle is deviatingfrom the direction desired by the driver, oneor more wheels are braked to stabilise thevehicle.

ETS brakes the drive wheels individually ifthey spin. This enables you to pull away andaccelerate on slippery surfaces, for exampleif the road surface is slippery on one side.Strong crosswind gusts can impair the road-holding of your vehicle when driving straightahead.Crosswind Assist reduces these impairments.Crosswind assist is active at vehicle speedsabove 70 km/h when driving straight ahead orcornering gently.

If ESP® intervenes, pull away carefully andadapt your driving style to the prevailingroad and weather conditions.If the ÷ warning lamp goes out beforebeginning the journey, ESP® is active. If ESP®

intervenes, the ÷ warning lamp flashes inthe instrument cluster.

G WARNING

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

Drive on carefully. Have ESP® checked at aqualified specialist workshop.

Information on EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution)

EBD monitors and controls the brake pressureon the rear wheels to improve driving sta-bility while braking.

G WARNING

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

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

Notes on economical driving

H Environmental note

CO2 (carbon dioxide) is the gas which sci-

entists believe to be principally respon-sible for global warming (the greenhouseeffect). Your vehicle's CO2 emissions are

directly related to fuel consumption andtherefore depend on:

Refficient use of the fuel by the engine

Rdriving style

Rother non-technical factors, such asenvironmental influences, road condi-tions or traffic flow

56 Driving economically>>

Dri

ving

.

You can minimise your vehicle's CO2 emis-

sions by driving carefully and having itserviced regularly.

Conservative driving and regular vehiclemaintenance help minimise CO2 emissions.

i Only for certain countries: you can findthe current consumption and emission val-ues of your vehicle in the COC documents(EU CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY). Thesedocuments are delivered with your vehicle.The consumption figures were in each casebased on the currently applicable version:Rfor vehicles that comply with or exceed

the EURO 5 standard, in accordance withRegulation (EC) No. 715/2007

Deviations from these values may occurunder normal operating conditions.

Recommendations for driving economically:

RMake sure the tyre pressures are correct.RAvoid unnecessary loads.RWarm up the engine while driving at low

engine speeds.RVehicles with manual transmission: change

to a higher gear in good time.RVehicles with automatic transmission:

drive the vehicle in drive program E (Com-fort).RAccelerate moderately.RDrive with care.RRelease the accelerator pedal in good time.RAllow the vehicle to coast without using the

brakes.RHave maintenance work carried out at the

specified service intervals.

H Environmental note

Avoid excessive engine speeds. Thisunnecessarily increases the fuel consump-tion of your vehicle and harms the envi-ronment as a result of increased emissions.

Braking correctly

Please note

G WARNING

The braking system can overheat if youleave your foot on the brake pedal whiledriving. This increases the braking dis-tance and could even cause the braking sys-tem to fail. There is a risk of an accident.

Never use the brake pedal as a footrest. Donot simultaneously depress both the brakepedal and the accelerator pedal while driv-ing.

Braking on steep downhill gradients

The engine's braking effect reduces the loadon the brake system.X On long and steep downhill gradients,

downshift to a lower gear in good time.

Braking on wet road surfaces

There may be a delayed brake response whendriving on wet roads, after driving through acar wash or after driving through deep water.X Maintain a greater distance from the vehi-

cle in front.X Brake more firmly.

Braking on salt-treated roads

If you drive on salt-treated roads, a layer ofsalt may form on the brake discs and pads.This increases the vehicle's braking dis-tance.X In order to prevent any salt build-up, apply

the brakes occasionally while payingattention 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.

Driving on wet roads

Aquaplaning

Regardless of driving style and tyre treaddepths, aquaplaning can occur on the road.Adapt your driving style as follows:X Reduce the speed.X Brake carefully.X Avoid sudden steering movementsX Avoid tyre ruts.

Fording

! Bear in mind that vehicles travelling infront or in the opposite direction createwaves. This may cause the maximum per-missible water depth to be exceeded.These notes must be observed under all cir-cumstances. You could otherwise damagethe engine, the electronics or the trans-mission.

Observe the following when driving through astanding body of water:

X Do not drive through water that is higherthan the lower edge of the vehicle body.

X Drive at walking pace.

G WARNING

Tyres with pressure that is too low canoverheat and burst as a consequence. Inaddition, they also suffer from irregularwear, which can severely impair the brak-ing properties and the driving character-istics. There is a risk of accident.

Avoid tyre pressures that are too low in allthe tyres, including the spare wheel.

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 of dam-age and replace any damaged tyres imme-diately.

G WARNING

Insufficient tyre tread will reduce tyretraction. The tyre is no longer able to dis-sipate water. This means that on wet roadsurfaces, the risk of aquaplaning increa-ses, in particular where speed is not adap-ted to suit the driving conditions. There isa risk of accident.

If the tyre pressure is too high or too low,tyres may exhibit different levels of wearat different locations on the tyre tread.Thus, you should regularly check the treaddepth and the condition of the tread acrossthe entire width of all tyres.

Minimum tyre tread depth for:

Rsummer tyres: 3 mm

RM+S tyres: 4 mm

For safety reasons, replace the tyres beforethe legally prescribed limit for the mini-mum tyre tread depth is reached.

! If unavoidable, you should drive overobstacles such as kerbs slowly and not at asharp angle. Otherwise, you may damage thewheels or tyres.

Modification work on the brake system andwheels is not permitted. The use of spacers orbrake dust shields is not permitted. Thisinvalidates the general operating permit forthe vehicle.Check the wheels and tyres for damage at leastonce a month, as well as after driving off-road or on poorly surfaced roads.Run-in new tyres at moderate speeds for thefirst 100 km. The tyres only attain their max-imum performance after this distance.Vibrations, audible noises and unusual han-dling characteristics, e.g. pulling to oneside, can indicate damage to wheels or tyres.

If you suspect a tyre defect:

X Reduce vehicle speed.X Stop the vehicle as soon as possible.X Check the wheels and tyres for damage.

If you find no signs of damage, have thewheels and tyres checked at a specialistworkshop.

Changing a wheel

Please note

G WARNING

Never interchange the front and rear wheelsas they have different dimensions, e.g.size, offset etc. Otherwise, there could be anegative effect on the road holding and youcould endanger yourself or others.

G WARNING

Exceeding the stated tyre load-bearingcapacity and the approved maximum speedcould lead to tyre damage or the tyre burst-ing. There is a risk of accident.

Therefore, only use tyre types and sizesapproved for your vehicle model. Observethe tyre load rating and speed ratingrequired for your vehicle.

G WARNING

If wheels and tyres of the wrong size areused, the wheel brakes or suspension com-ponents may be damaged. There is a risk ofan accident.

Rules for selecting new tyres

! For safety reasons, smart recommends thatyou only use tyres and wheels which havebeen specifically approved by smart foryour vehicle. These are specially adaptedto the control systems, such as ABS or ESP®.Only use tyres and wheels specifically tes-ted and approved by smart. Certain char-acteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle noiseemissions or fuel consumption, may other-wise be adversely affected. In addition,when driving with a load, dimensional var-iations and different tyre deformationcharacteristics could cause the tyres tomake contact with the bodywork and axlecomponents. This could result in damage tothe tyres or the vehicle.smart accepts no liability for damageresulting from the use of tyres or wheelsother than those tested and approved.Information on wheels and tyres can beobtained at a qualified specialist work-shop, e.g. a smart centre.

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

RDriving styleRTyre pressureRMileageObserve the following rules for selecting newtyres:

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, winter tyres).RUse only wheel-tyre combinations

approved by smart.

RDo not wear tyres out too much. This other-wise significantly reduces the traction onwet roads (aquaplaning).RReplace tyres after six years at the latest

i Recommended tyre pressures for variousoperating states can be found on the tyrepressure table on the driver's side doorpillar (B-pillar).

You can find further information regardingtyres and wheels at specialist tyre retailers,at qualified specialist workshops and at anysmart 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 of thetyres.The tyre pressure monitor works properlyonly if sensors are present in all four tyres,and after the monitor has learned the correcttyre pressure for the current operating sit-uation. This occurs automatically in mostsituations, but may also be specified afterrestarting the tyre pressure monitor. Beforerestarting, check the tyres for the recommen-ded tyre pressure.The tyre pressure monitor does not provide awarning in the following cases:

REven loss of pressure on multiple tyresRSudden loss of tyre pressure, e.g. due to the

penetration of a foreign bodyRIncorrectly set tyre pressureThe tyre pressure monitor has a yellow warn-ing lamp in the instrument cluster for indi-cating a pressure loss or malfunction.

Restarting the tyre pressure monitor(on-board computer with a monochromedisplay)

X Set the tyre pressure of all tyres to the rec-ommended value.

X On the multifunction lever press the ´button repeatedly until the ° and hsymbols are displayed in the instrumentcluster display.

X Press and hold the a button on the mul-tifunction lever.The ° and h symbols will flash in theinstrument cluster display for about5 seconds. The two symbols then light up.

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 impair tyretraction.

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

There is a risk of an accident.

Observe the recommended tyre pressure andcheck the tyre pressure of all the tyres:

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 overloa-ded and malfunction, which can cause tyrepressure loss. Aftermarket tyre pressuremonitoring systems will cause the tyrevalve to remain open. This can also resultin tyre pressure loss. There is a risk of anaccident.

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. Tyrepressure that is too low may result in a tyreblow-out. There is a risk of accident.

RCheck the tyre for foreign objects.

RCheck whether the wheel is losing air orthe valve is leaking.

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

H Environmental note

Check the tyre pressure regularly, at leastevery 14 days.

The table with the recommended tyre pressurefor various operating conditions can befound on the driver's side door pillar(B-pillar).The tyre pressure table may also state airpressures for different load conditions.These are defined in the table as differentnumbers of passengers and amounts of lug-gage. The actual number of seats may differfrom this.If a tyre size precedes a tyre pressure, thetyre pressure information following is onlyvalid for that tyre size. If tyre sizes are notspecified, the tyre pressures stated on thetyre pressure table apply for all approvedtyres.

Checking and correcting the tyre pres-sure manually

Only check the tyre pressure once the tyreshave cooled down.X Drive the vehicle less than 2 km.X Park the vehicle away from direct sunlight

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

pressure gauge.

G WARNING

M+S tyres with a tyre tread depth of lessthan 4 mm are not suitable for use in winteras they do not provide sufficient traction.There is a risk of accident.

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

Have the vehicle winterproofed at a qualifiedspecialist workshop at the onset of winter.X At low temperatures, use only winter tyres

marked with M+S.X When road conditions are wintry, use

M+S tyres with the additional snowflakesymbol i.These tyres allow driving safety systems,e.g. ABS, to function optimally in the win-ter.

X Use M+S tyres of the same make and tread onall wheels.

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

X Use only tyre types and sizes approved forsmart.

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

sible speed than that of the vehicle arefitted, affix an appropriate warning labelin the driver's field of vision. Using thelimiter, restrict the speed to the maximumpermissible speed for M+S tyres.

Using snow chains

G WARNING

If you have fitted snow chains to the frontwheels, they may scrape against the vehiclebody or chassis components. This couldcause damage to the vehicle or the tyres.There is a risk of an accident.

Sealing tyres using the TIREFIT kit

Useful information

TIREFIT is a tyre sealant. TIREFIT is used toseal punctures of up to 4 mm, particularlythose in the tyre tread, at outside tempera-tures of up to -20 †.

The tyre sealant is pumped into the tyre.

Please note

G WARNING

In the following situations, the tyre seal-ant is unable to provide sufficient break-down assistance, as it is unable to seal thetyre properly:

Rthere are cuts or punctures in the tyrelarger than those mentioned above.

Rthe wheel rim is damaged.

Ryou have driven at very low tyre pressuresor on a flat tyre.

There is a risk of an accident.

Do not drive any further. Contact a quali-fied specialist workshop.

G WARNING

The tyre sealant is harmful and causes irri-tation. It must not come into contact withyour skin, eyes or clothing or be swallowed.Do not inhale TIREFIT fumes. Keep tyresealant away from children. There is a riskof injury.

If you come into contact with the tyre seal-ant, observe the following:

RRinse off the tyre sealant from your skinimmediately with water.

RIf the tyre sealant comes into contactwith your eyes, immediately rinse themthoroughly with clean water.

RIf tyre sealant is swallowed, immediatelyrinse your mouth out thoroughly anddrink plenty of water. Do not induce vom-iting, and seek medical attention imme-diately.

RImmediately change out of clothingwhich has come into contact with tyresealant.

RIf an allergic reaction occurs, seek med-ical attention immediately.

G WARNING

A tyre temporarily sealed with tyre sealantimpairs the driving characteristics and isnot suitable for higher speeds. There is arisk of accident.

You should therefore adapt your drivingstyle accordingly and drive carefully. Donot exceed the specified maximum speedwith a tyre that has been repaired usingtyre sealant.

H Environmental note

Have the used tyre sealant bottle disposedof professionally, e.g. at a qualified spe-cialist workshop.

Comply with the manufacturer’s safetyinstructions on the sticker of the tyre infla-tion compressor.

G WARNING

If you operate RF transmitters incorrectlyin the vehicle, the electromagnetic radia-tion could interfere with the vehicle elec-tronics, e.g.:

Rif the RF transmitter is not connected toan exterior aerial

Rthe exterior aerial has been fittedincorrectly or is not a low-reflectiontype

This could jeopardise the operating safetyof the vehicle. There is a risk of an acci-dent.

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

! Only have work carried out on the engineelectronics and its associated parts, suchas control units, sensors, actuating com-ponents and connector leads, at a qualifiedspecialist workshop. Vehicle componentsmay otherwise wear more quickly and thevehicle's operating permit may be invali-dated.

! The operating permit may be invalidatedif the instructions for installation and useof RF transmitters are not observed.In particular, the following conditionsmust be complied with:

Ronly approved wavebands may be used.Robserve the maximum permissible output

in these wavebands.Ronly approved aerial positions may be

used.

Excessive levels of electromagnetic radia-tion can cause damage to health. The use of anexterior aerial takes into consideration thescientific discussion surrounding the pos-sible health risk posed by electromagneticfields.The following aerial positions may be used ifRF transmitters have been properly instal-led:

: Front roof area; Rear roof area

Use Technical Specification ISO/TS 21609(Road Vehicles – EMC guidelines for instal-lation of aftermarket radio frequency trans-mitting equipment) when retrofitting RF(radio frequency) transmitters. Comply withthe legal requirements for add-on parts.If your vehicle has fittings for two-way radioequipment, use the power supply and aerialconnections intended for use in the basicwiring. Be sure to observe the manufacturer'sadditional instructions during installation.Deviations with respect to wavebands, maxi-mum transmission outputs or aerial positionsmust be approved by smart.The maximum transmission output (PEAK) atthe base of the aerial must not exceed thefollowing values:

Waveband Maximum trans-mission output

Tetra380 - 410 MHz

20 W

Mobile communicationsgeneration 2G/3G/4G

6 W

The following can be used in the vehicle with-out restrictions:

RRF transmitters with a maximum transmis-sion output of up to 100 mWRMobile phones (2G/3G/4G)There are no restrictions when positioningthe aerial on the outside of the vehicle for thefollowing wavebands:
