Data stored in the vehicle

Data recording

A large number of your vehicle's electroniccomponents can store data.The data memory temporarily or perma-nently stores technical information about:

RVehicle's operating statusRIncidentsRMalfunctionsThe technical information generally docu-ments the condition of a component, module,system or the environment.These include, for example:

ROperating status of system components,e.g. fluid levelsRStatus messages concerning the vehicleand its individual components, e.g. num-ber of wheel revolutions/speed, decelera-tion in movement, lateral acceleration,accelerator pedal positionRMalfunctions and defects in key systemcomponents, including, for instance,lights, brakesRVehicle reactions and operating condi-tions in special driving situations, includ-ing, for instance, deployment of an air bag,use of stability control systemsREnvironmental conditions, including, forinstance, the outside temperature

24 >> Introduction.

This data is of an exclusively technicalnature and can be used to:

Rassist in the detection and elimination ofmalfunctions and defectsRanalyze vehicle functions, e.g. after anaccidentRoptimize vehicle functionsThe data cannot be used to trace the vehicle'smovements.If you have the vehicle serviced, this tech-nical information can be read out from theevent and malfunction data memory.Services include, for example, informationon:

RRepair workRService workRWarranty claimsRQuality assuranceThe readout is handled by service networkstaff (including the manufacturer) with thehelp of special diagnostic testers. You canobtain more detailed information, ifrequired.After the malfunction has been rectified, theinformation is cleared in the malfunctionmemory or is sequentially overwritten.During vehicle operation, certain situationsmay arise in which this technical data - inconjunction with other information and, ifapplicable, after consultation with anapproved assessor - may be linked to anindividual person.Examples of this include:

Event data recorders

This vehicle is equipped with an event datarecorder (EDR). Themain purpose of an EDR isto record data thatwill assist in understand-ing how a vehicle’s systems performed incertain crash or near crash-like situations,such as during air bag deployment or whenhitting a road obstacle. The EDR is designedto record data related to vehicle dynamicsand safety systems for a short period of time,typically 30 seconds or less.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to recordsuch data as:

Rhow various systems in your vehicle areoperatingRwhether or not the driver and passengerseat belts are fastenedRhow far (if at all) the driver is depressingthe accelerator and/or brake pedal andRhow fast the vehicle is travelingThis data can help provide a better under-standing of the circumstances in whichcrashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data isrecorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivialcrash situation occurs. No data is recordedby the EDR under normal driving conditions.Nopersonal data (e.g., name, gender, age, andaccident location) are recorded. However,other parties, such as law enforcement, cancombine the EDR data with the type of per-sonal identification data routinely acquiredduring a crash investigation. EDR data maybe used in civil and criminalmatters as a toolin accident reconstruction, accident claims,and vehicle safety.To read data recorded by an EDR, specialequipment is required, and access to thevehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition tothe vehicle manufacturer, other parties thathave the special equipment, such as lawenforcement, can read the information byaccessing the vehicle or the EDR.EDR data may be used in civil and criminalmatters as a tool in accident reconstruction,accident claims, andvehicle safety. Since theCrash Data Retrieval CDR tool that is used toextract data from the EDR is commerciallyavailable, Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC("MBUSA") expressly disclaims any and allliability arising from the extraction of thisinformation byunauthorizedMercedes-Benzpersonnel.MBUSA will not share EDR data with otherswithout the consent of the vehicle owners or,if the vehicle is leased, without the consentof the lessee. Exceptions to this representa-tion include responses to subpoenas by lawenforcement; by federal, state or local gov-ernment; in connection with or arising out oflitigation involving MBUSA or its subsidia-ries and affiliates; or, as required by law.Warning: the EDR is a component of theRestraint System Module. Tampering with,altering, modifying or removing the EDR

Occupant safety

Restraint system

Protectionprovidedby the restraint sys-tem

The restraint system includes the:

RSeat belt systemRAir bagsIn 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 subjected

A seat belt can only provide maximum pro-tection when worn correctly. Depending onthe type of accident detected, EmergencyTensioningDevices and/or air bagsmay sup-plement a correctly worn seat belt. Not everyaccident will trigger the Emergency Ten-sioning Devices and/or deploy the air bags.To ensure that the restraint system providesthemaximumprotection, every vehicle occu-pant must:

Rhave the seat belt fastened correctlyRsit in a position that is as upright as pos-sible with the back against the seat back-restRhave their feet resting on the floor, if pos-sibleRalways be secured in special additionalrestraint systems suitable for your vehicleif under 5 ft (1.50 m) tall

However, no system available today cancompletely eliminate injuries and fatalitiesin every accident. In particular, the seat beltand air bag generally do not protect againstobjects penetrating the vehicle from the out-

side. The risk of injuries due to a deployed airbag also cannot be completely eliminated.

Limited protection from restraint system

G WARNING

Modifications to the restraint system maycause it to no longer work as intended. Therestraint system may then not perform itsintended protective function and may failin an accident or trigger unexpectedly, forexample. This poses an increased risk ofinjury or even fatal injury.

Nevermodify parts of the restraint system.Never tamper with the wiring, the elec-tronic 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.Contact a smart center for details. USA only:contact our Customer Assistance Center on1‑800‑762‑7887 for more details.

Preparing the restraint system for oper-ation

When the ignition is switched on, the 6restraint system warning lamp lights upduring the system self-test. It goes out nolater than a few seconds after the vehicle isstarted. The components of the restraint sys-tem are 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 systemwarning lamp remains lit or lights uprepeatedly.

If the restraint system ismalfunctioning, thevehicle's high-voltage electrical systemmay also not be deactivated as intended inthe event of an accident.

G DANGER

If the restraint system is malfunctioning,restraint system components may be trig-gered unintentionally or may not deployas intended during an accident. This canaffect for example the Emergency Tension-ing Device or the air bag. Furthermore, inthe event of an accident, the vehicle'shigh-voltage electrical system may not bedeactivated as intended. You may be elec-trocuted if you touch the damaged compo-nents of the vehicle's high-voltage elec-trical system. This poses an increased riskof injury or even fatal injury.

Have the restraint system checked andrepaired in a qualified specialist workshopas soon as possible. After an accident,switch off the ignition immediately andremove the key from the ignition lock.

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 impactRRolloverThe activation threshold for the restraintsystem components is determined based onthe analysis of the sensor valuesmeasuredatvarious points in the vehicle. This process ispre-emptive in nature. The triggering proc-ess of the restraint system componentsshould take place in good time at the start ofthe collision.Factors which can only be seen and meas-ured after a collision has occurred do notplay a decisive role in the deployment of anair bag, nor do they provide an indication ofair bag deployment.The vehicle may be deformed significantlywithout an air bag being deployed. This isthe case if only parts which are relativelyeasily deformed are affected and the rate of

vehicle deceleration is not high. Conversely,an air bag may be deployed even though thevehicle suffers only minor deformation. If,for instance, very rigid vehicle parts such aslongitudinal body members are hit, the rateof vehicle deceleration may be sufficient.The restraint system components can beactivated or triggered independently of eachother:

Component Detected trigger sit-uation

Emergency Ten-sioning Device(ETD) for seat belts

Head-on collision,rear impact, sideimpact, rollover

Driver's air bag,front-passengerfront air bag andknee bag

Head-on collision

Side impact air bag Side impact

Windowbag1 orheadbag2

Side impact, roll-over, head-on colli-sion

The front-passenger front air bag can onlybe deployed in an accident if the PASSENGERAIR BAG ON indicator lamp is lit. If the front-passenger seat is occupied, make sure thatthe status of the front-passenger front airbag is correct both before and during thejourney (Y page 39).

G WARNING

The air bag parts are hot after an air baghasbeendeployed. There is a risk of injury.

Do not touch the air bag parts. Have adeployed air bag 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 this intoaccount, particularly if an EmergencyTensioning Device was triggered or an airbag was deployed.

Safety.

If the Emergency Tensioning Devices aretriggered or an air bag is deployed, you willhear a bang, and a small amount of powdermay also be released:

RThe bangwill not usually affect your hear-ing.RIn general, the powder released is not haz-ardous to health butmay cause short-termbreathing difficulties to persons sufferingfrom 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.

Air bags and pyrotechnic Emergency Ten-sioning Devices contain perchlorate mate-rial, whichmay require special handling andenvironmental protection measures.National guidelinesmust be observed duringdisposal. In California, see www.dtsc.ca.gov/HazardousWaste/Perchlorate/index.cfm.

Seat belts

Protection provided by seat belts

Always fasten seat belts correctly beforestarting your journey. A seat belt can onlyprovidemaximumprotectionwhenworn cor-rectly.

G WARNING

If the seat belt is not worn correctly, itcannot perform its intended protectivefunction. An incorrectly fastened seat beltcan also cause injuries, for example, in theevent of an accident or when braking orchangingdirection abruptly. This poses anincreased risk of injury or even fatalinjury.

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

RThe seat belt must:- not be twisted and must be tight and fitsnugly across your body

- be routed across the center of the shoul-der and as low down across your hips aspossible

RThe shoulder section of the seat beltshould not touch your neck nor be routedunder your arm or behind your back.RAvoidwearing bulky clothing, e.g. awintercoat.RPress the lap belt down into your hip jointsand pull tight by the shoulder section ofthe belt. 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 andchildren must never travel sitting on thelap of a vehicle occupant.RNever secure objects with a seat belt if theseat 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 117).

The front-passenger seat belt is equippedwith a special seat belt retractor. Furtherinformation can be found under "Special seatbelt retractor" (Y page 43).If children are traveling in the vehicle, besure to observe the instructions and safetynotes on "Children in the vehicle"(Y page 42).

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 acci-dent, you could slide underneath the seatbelt and sustain abdomen or neck injuries,for example. This poses an increased risk ofinjury or even fatal injury.

Adjust the seat properly before beginningyour journey. Always ensure that thebackrest is in an almost vertical positionand that the shoulder section of your seat

belt is routed across the center of yourshoulder.

G WARNING

Persons less than 5 ft (1.50 m) tall cannotwear the seat belt correctly without anadditional and suitable restraint system.If the seat belt is not worn correctly, itcannot perform its intended protectivefunction. An incorrectly fastened seat beltcan also cause injuries, for example, in theevent of an accident or when braking orchangingdirection abruptly. This poses anincreased risk of injury or even fatalinjury.

For this reason, always secure personsunder 5 ft (1.50 m) tall in suitable addi-tional restraint systems.

G WARNING

If objects between the seat and door areblocking the moving belt anchorage on theseat, this restricts the restraining effect ofthe seat belt. The seat belt can no longerprotect as intended. This poses anincreased risk of injury or even fatalinjury.

Make sure that no objects are between theseat and door before beginning a journey.

G WARNING

The seat beltsmaynot perform their inten-ded protective function if:

Rthey are damaged, modified, extremelydirty, bleached or dyed

Rthe seat belt buckle is damaged orextremely dirty

Rthe Emergency Tensioning Devices, beltanchorages or inertia reels have beenmodified.

Seat belts may be damaged in an accident,although the damage may not be visible,e.g. due to splinters of glass. Modified ordamaged seat belts may tear or fail, e.g. inan accident. Modified Emergency Tension-ing Devices could accidentally trigger or

fail to deploy when necessary. This posesan increased risk of injury or even fatalinjury.

Never modify the seat belts, EmergencyTensioning Devices, belt anchorages andinertia reels. Make sure that the seat beltsare undamaged, not worn out and clean.Following an accident, have the seat beltschecked immediately at a qualified spe-cialist workshop.

Only use seat belts which have beenapproved specifically for your vehicle bysmart.

G WARNING

Emergency Tensioning Devices that havedeployed pyrotechnically are no longeroperational and are unable to performtheir intended protective function. Thisposes an increased risk of injury or evenfatal injury.

Have pyrotechnically triggered Emer-gency Tensioning Devices replaced imme-diately at a qualified specialist workshop.

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,the door trim panel and the seat belt. Dam-aged seat belts can no longer fulfill theirprotective function and must be replaced.Visit a qualified specialist workshop.

Fastening and releasing the seat belt

If the seat belt is pulled out quickly orsharply, the inertia reel locks. The belt strapcannot be pulled out any further.

! If the front-passenger seat is unoccu-pied, do not insert the belt tongue into thebuckle of the front-passenger seat. Thismay otherwise lead to the triggering of theEmergency Tensioning Device in the eventof an accident, which will then need to bereplaced.

Protection provided by the air bags

Depending on the type of accident, an air bagcan supplement a correctly worn seat beltand provide added protection.

G WARNING

If youdonot sit in the correct seat position,the air bag cannot protect as intended andcould even cause additional injury whendeployed. This poses an increased risk ofinjury or even fatal injury.

To avoid hazardous situations, alwaysmake sure that all of the vehicle's occu-pants:

Rhave fastened their seat belts correctly,including pregnant women

Rare sitting correctly and maintain thegreatest possible distance to the airbags

Rfollow the following instructions

Alwaysmake sure that there are no objectsbetween the air bagand thevehicle's occu-pants.

To avoid risks as a result of a deployed airbag:

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 thecorrect driver's seat position (Y page 48).ROnly hold onto the outside of the steeringwheel rim. This allows the air bag to befully deployed.RAlways lean against the backrest whiledriving. Do not lean forwards or leanagainst the door or side window. You mayotherwise be in the deployment area of theair bags.RAlways keep your feet on the floor. Do notput your feet on the dashboard, for exam-ple. Your feet may otherwise be in thedeployment area of the air bag.RWhen children are traveling in the vehicle,follow the related additional notes(Y page 42).RAlways properly stow and secure objects.

Objects in the vehicle interior may limit anair bag's ability to function correctly. There-fore, 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, thedoor and the door pillar (B-pillar).RNo hard objects, e.g. coat hangers, arehanging on the grab handles or coat hooks.RNo accessories, such as cup holders, areattached within the deployment area of anairbag, e.g. to doors, side windows or sidetrim panels.RNo heavy, sharp-edged or fragile objectsare kept in the pockets of clothing. Storesuch objects in a suitable place.

Limited protection from air bags

G WARNING

If you modify the air bag cover or affixobjects such as stickers to it, the air bagcan no longer function correctly. There isan increased risk of injury.

Never modify an air bag cover or affixobjects to it.

G WARNING

Unsuitable seat covers can obstruct oreven prevent the deployment of the airbags integrated in the seats. Conse-quently, the air bags cannot protect vehi-cle occupants as intended. In addition, theoperation of the automatic front-passenger front air bag deactivation sys-tem could be restricted. This poses anincreased risk of injury or even fatalinjury.

Only use seat covers that have beenapproved for the corresponding seats bysmart.

G WARNING

Driving safely

Driving safety system limitations

! Make sure you have suitable tires, so thatassistance systems and driving safetysystems can work as effectively as possi-ble.

If you fail to adapt your driving style orbecome distracted, 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 thedistance to the vehicle in front, for vehiclespeed and for braking in good time. Alwaysadapt your driving style to suit the prevail-ing road, weather and traffic conditions and

maintain a safe distance from the vehicle infront. Drive carefully.For safety reasons, smart recommends thatyou only use snow chains that have beenspecially approved foryour vehicle by smart.Further information can be obtained at asmart center or a qualified specialist work-shop.

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 thevehicle when braking.The ! (Canada only) or ò (USA only)abs warning lamp in the instrument clusterlights up when the ignition is switched on. Itgoes out when the engine is running.ABS works from a speed of about 4 mph(6 km/h), regardless of road-surface condi-tions. ABS intervenes in the case of slipperyroad surfaces, even when you only brakegently.

X To brake while ABS intervenes: continue todepress 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-temsaredeactivated. There is an increaseddanger of skidding and accidents.

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

Using the forward collision warning

Z

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 45 mph(70 km/h), the forward collision warning canreact to stationary obstacles, such as sta-tionary or parked vehicles.

Please note

i Observe the section on "Limitations ofthe driving safety systems" (Y page 45).

G WARNING

The distance warning function does notreact:

Rto people or animals

Rto oncoming vehicles

Rto crossing traffic

Rwhen cornering

The distance warning function may notgive warnings in all critical situations.There is a risk of an accident.

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

Always adapt your speed to suit the pre-vailing road and traffic conditions.

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 and do not rely solely on the dis-tance warning function.

The · warning lamp in the instrumentcluster lights up if:

Rthe vehicle is rapidly approaching a vehi-cle traveling in front or a stationary object.

In this case, an intermittent warning tonealso sounds

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 breaking-inthe vehicleRthe sensors are dirty or coveredRin heavy rain or snowRthere is interference from other radarsources, e.g. in parking garagesRthe vehicle traveling in front is narrow,e.g. a motorcycleRthe vehicle traveling in front is travelingon a different line

Following 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 applies tocollisions at slow speeds where there is novisible damage to the front of the vehicle.

Activating/deactivating the forward col-lision warning

When the ignition is restarted, the forwardcollisionwarning is automatically activated.

X Press the switch.If the forward collision warning is deacti-

vated, the LED on the switch lights up.On-board computer with color display: thedisplay shows a message.

or more wheels are braked to stabilize thevehicle.

ESP® supports the driver when pulling awayon wet or slippery roads. ESP® can also sta-bilize the vehicle during braking. ESP® com-prises ETS (Electronic Traction System) andCrosswind Assist.ETS brakes the drive wheels individually ifthey spin. This enables you to pull away andaccelerate on slippery surfaces, for example,if the road surface is slippery on one side.Strong crosswind gusts can impair the road-holding of your vehicle when drivingstraight ahead.CrosswindAssist reduces these impairments.Crosswind Assist is active at vehicle speedsabove 45 mph (70 km/h) when drivingstraight ahead or cornering 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® ismalfunctioning, ESP® is unable tostabilize the vehicle. Additionally, furtherdriving safety systems are deactivated.This increases the risk of skidding and anaccident.

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

Information on EBD (electronic brakeforce 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 an acci-dent.

You should therefore adapt your drivingstyle to the different handling character-

istics. Have the brake system checked at aqualified specialist workshop.

Acoustic presence indicator

Useful information

Vehicles with an electric motor generatemuch less driving noise than vehicles withinternal combustion engines. As a result,your 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 aspecific noise at speeds between 0 and18 mph (30 km/h). This function is called theacoustic presence indicator. It makes it pos-sible for other road users, especially pedes-trians and cyclists, to hear the vehicle bet-

ter. The acoustic presence indicator can alsobe heard in the vehicle interior.The volume of the acoustic presence indica-tor depends on the engine speed. The greaterthe acceleration, the louder the noise. Atspeeds of over 18 mph (30 km/h ), the noise isswitched off. Above this speed, the drivingnoisenaturally createdby thevehicle is typ-ically sufficient for the vehicle to be heard ingood time by other road users.

Driving economically

Notes on economical driving

In order to save energy, smart electric driverecuperates part of the kinetic energy anduses it to charge the high-voltage battery.When the driver releases the accelerator, thevehicle is braked.In the following cases, the vehicle will slowdown only partially or not at all when theaccelerator pedal is released:

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

On steep slopes, the vehicle may not be heldat all or may only be held to a limited extent.In the following cases recuperation isrestricted:

Rthe high-voltage battery is fully chargedor too coldRthe power electronics or the engine hasoverheated

Recommendations for driving economically:

Raccelerate moderatelyRpay attention to the power display(Y page 57)Rdrive with careRuse the air conditioning and electricalconsumers in moderationRhave maintenance work carried out at thespecified service intervals

ECO mode can be used to save additionalenergy.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. 70 mph (110 km/h).ROutput of air conditioning and heating isreduced.RRecuperation is maximized.RLess acceleration.In order to increaseacceleration inECOmode,press the accelerator pedal beyond the pres-sure point.

Braking correctly

Please note

G WARNING

If you rest your foot on the brake pedalwhile driving, the braking system canoverheat. This increases the stopping dis-tance and can even cause the braking sys-tem to fail. There is a risk of an accident.

Never use the brake pedal as a footrest.Never depress the brake pedal and theaccelerator pedal at the same time.

The vehicle slows down as soon as the accel-erator pedal is released. This behavior allowsenergy to be recuperated as the engine isused as a generator and the high-voltagebattery is charged.

Braking on steep downhill gradients

When driving on downhill gradients, observethe following rules:

RDo not move the gear lever to position N.RIf energy recuperation is limited, brakeadditionally at intervals.

Braking on wet road surfaces

Theremay be a delayed brake responsewhendriving on wet roads, after driving through acarwash or after driving throughdeepwater.

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 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.

Maintaining the brakes

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

Rif the red brake warning lamp lights upin the instrument cluster andRyou hear a warning tone while theengine is running

Observe additional warning messages inthe multifunction display.The brake fluid level may be too low due tobrake pad wear or leaking brake lines.Have the brake system checked immedi-ately. Consult a qualified specialist work-shop to arrange this.

! A function or performance test shouldonly be carried out on a 2-axle dynamom-eter. If you wish to operate the vehicle onsuch a dynamometer, please consult aqualified specialist workshop in advance.You could otherwise damage the drivetrain or the brake system.

! As the ESP® system operates automati-cally, the engine and the ignition must beswitched off (the SmartKey must be inposition 0 or 1 in the ignition lock) if:

Rthe parkingbrake is testedusing abrakedynamometer (maximum 10 seconds).Rthe vehicle is towed with the front axleraised.

Braking triggered automatically by ESP®

may seriously damage the brake system.

All checks and maintenance work on thebrake system must be carried out at a quali-fied specialist workshop.Have brake pads/linings installed and brakefluid replaced at a qualified specialist work-shop.If the brake system has only been subject tomoderate loads, you should test the func-tionality of your brakes at regular intervals.

Braking correctly 59

>>Driving.

Z

When having brake pads/linings installed,smart recommends that you only use thosewhich are approved for smart vehicles or areof an equivalent quality standard. Brakepads/linings which have not been approvedfor smart vehicles or which are not of anequivalent quality could affect your vehi-cle's operating safety.

Driving on wet roads

Hydroplaning

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

X Reduce the speed.X Brake carefully.X Avoid sudden steering movementsX Avoid tire ruts.

Fording

! Bear in mind that vehicles traveling infront or in the opposite direction createwaves. This may cause the maximum per-missible water depth to be exceeded.Failure to observe these notes may resultin damage to the engine, electrical sys-tems and transmission.

Prevent water from entering the vehicleinterior or the engine compartment. Observethe followingwhendriving through standingwater:

X The water level should not exceed thelower edge of the vehicle body in stillwater

X Drive no faster than walking pace.

Winter driving

X Before the start of winter, have the vehiclechecked at a qualified specialist work-shop.

X Use winter tires and, if applicable, snowchains.

X Drive carefully and avoid sudden acceler-ation, turning and braking on slipperyroad surfaces.

X Do not use cruise control.X If the vehicle skids, take corrective steer-ing actions to counteract the movement.

X If the vehicle skids, shift the transmissionto position i.

X Donot use the outside temperature displayas a way to determine if conditions are icy.

X Observe the road surface.

Useful information

Method of operation

The vehicle is equipped with a high-voltagebattery for driving. The high-voltage bat-tery stores the energy needed to operate theelectric motor and releases it again.

62 Charging the high-voltage battery>>

Driving.

The electric motor uses energy stored in thehigh-voltage battery for pulling away andaccelerating.In overrun mode, kinetic energy is convertedinto electrical energy by recuperation andstored in the high-voltage battery.The high-voltage battery can be charged asfollows:

Rby recuperation while the vehicle is inmotionRwith the suitable charging cable at amainssocket while the vehicle is stationaryRwith the suitable charging cable at a wall-box while the vehicle is stationaryRwith the suitable charging cable at acharging station while the vehicle is sta-tionary

Not all charging variants are available in allcountries.The high-voltage battery can be charged in avoltage range from 100 V to 240 V.

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

Discharged high-voltage battery

The high-voltage electrical system switchesoff if the high-voltage battery is completelydischarged. This protects the high-voltagebattery from exhaustive discharge.

i Switching the ignition on and then offcan reactivate the high-voltage electricalsystem temporarily. This allows the vehi-cle to be parked safely.

Do not allow the vehicle's high-voltage bat-tery to remain in a discharged or almost fullydischarged state for more than 14 days. Youcan check the condition of charge in thecharge level display (Y page 57).

Extreme outside temperatures

The efficiency of the high-voltage battery istemperature-dependent and is significantlyreduced at low or very high temperatures. Inaddition, the electrolytes used may freeze atvery low temperatures.The LED ring in power display shows thepower output available (Y page 57).

Energy consumption and range

The available energy in the high-voltagebattery is fundamentally reduced by the fol-lowing factors:

Rlow outside temperaturesRoperating the air-conditioning system orheatingRswitching on electrical consumersLow outside temperature and prolongedperiods of inactivity without charging canhave the following effects:

Rthe high-voltage battery output is signif-icantly reducedRcharging periods may be longerIn 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 time atlow outside temperatures.As the gets older, the capacity of the high-voltage batterywill diminish in the course ofits lifetime. This reduces themaximum rangeand the maximum acceleration.

Battery care

Observe the following notes on battery care:

Ravoid storing and transporting the vehicleat high temperatures and over an extendedperiod of time (e.g. transporting it in acontainer)Rconnect the vehicle to a power supplywhen parking it for an extended period oftimeRtemperatures below Ò13‡ (Ò25†) for morethan seven days can cause irreversibledamage to the vehicle due to frost damage

Conditions of use

Observe the information on exceptions andlimitations in the warranty documentationand in the Maintenance Booklet.

it from voltage surges in themains supply.This device may be triggered duringsevere thunderstorms, for example, andmay lead to the building's fuse being trip-ped and an interruption in the power sup-ply. These functions protect the vehicle.After the building fuse is switched onagain, the charging process resumes auto-matically. Following an interruption in thepower supply without the building's fusebeing tripped, it may take up to 10minutesfor charging to resume automatically.

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

Heat generated by the charging cableand charging cable connector

Charging cables and charging cable connec-tors may heat up during the charging proc-ess at a mains socket.In the following cases, the rise in tempera-ture is within the permitted limits:

Observing the tire and loading infor-mation

Instruction labels for tires and loads

G WARNING

Overloaded tires can overheat, causing ablowout. Overloaded tires can also impairthe steering and driving characteristicsand lead to brake failure. There is a risk ofaccident.

Observe the load rating of the tires. Theload rating must be at least half of theGAWR of your vehicle. Never overload thetires by exceeding the maximum load.

: Information tables on the pillar on thedriver's side (B-pillar)

Two instruction labels on the vehicle showthe maximum possible load.

(1) The Tire and Loading Information plac-ard is on the B-pillar on the driver's side.The Tire and Loading Information plac-ard shows the maximum permissiblenumber of occupants and the maximum

permissible vehicle load. It also containsdetails of the tire sizes and correspond-ing pressures for tires installed at thefactory.

(2) The vehicle identification plate is on theB-pillar on the driver's side. The vehicleidentification plate informs you of thegross weight capacity, called the GrossVehicleWeight Rating. The Gross VehicleWeight Rating is made up of the vehicleweight and the load. It also informs youof the front and rear axle weight capa-city, called the Gross AxleWeight Rating.The maximum Gross Axle Weight Ratingis the maximum weight that can be car-riedbyoneaxle (front or rear axle). Neverexceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Ratingor the maximum Gross Axle Weight Rat-ing for the front or rear axle.

Maximum Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

X The specification for the maximum GrossVehicle Weight Rating is listed in tire andloading information table :: "The com-bined weight of occupants and cargoshould never exceed XXX kilograms or XXXlbs."

i The specifications shown on the Tire andLoading Information placard in the illus-tration are examples. The maximum GrossVehicle Weight Rating is vehicle-specificand may differ from that in the illustra-tion. The specification for the maximumGross VehicleWeight Rating is listed in thetire and loading information table.

Number of seats

Maximum number of seats: in the Tire andLoading Information placard, indicates themaximum number of occupants allowed totravel in the vehicle.

i The specifications shown on the Tire andLoading Information placard in the illus-tration are examples. The number of seatsis vehicle-specific and can differ from thedetails shown. The number of seats foryour vehicle canbe found onyour vehicle'stire and loading information table.

Determining the correct load limit

The following steps have been developed asrequired of all manufacturers under Title 49,Code of U.S. Federal Regulations, Part 575pursuant to the "National Traffic and MotorVehicle Safety Act of 1966".

X Step 1: Locate the statement "The com-bined weight of occupants and cargoshould never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs." onyour vehicle's tire and loading informationtable.

X Step 2: Determine the combined weight ofthe driver and passengers that will be rid-ing in your vehicle.

X Step 3: Subtract the combined weight ofthe driver and passengers from XXX kg orXXX lbs.

X Step 4: The resulting figure equals theavailable amount of cargo and luggageload capacity. For example: at a sum “XXX”of 1400 lbs and five occupants each weigh-ing 150 lbs, the amount of available cargo

and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs (1400- 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs).

X Step 5: Determine the combined weight ofluggage and cargo being loaded on thevehicle. Thatweightmaynot safely exceedthe available cargo and luggage loadcapacity calculated in step 4.

Example: steps 1 to 3

The following table shows examples on howto calculate total and cargo load capacitieswith varying seating configurations andnumber and size of occupants. The followingexamples use a load limit of 1500 lbs (680 kg).This is for illustration purposes only. Makesure you are using the actual load limit foryour vehicle stated onyour vehicle's Tire andLoading Information placard (Y page 121).The greater the combinedweight of the occu-pants, the lower the maximum luggage load.Step 1

Checking wheels and tires

G Warning

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

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

G WARNING

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

Check the tires regularly for signs of dam-age and replace any damaged tires imme-diately.

G WARNING

Insufficient tire treadwill reduce tire trac-tion. The tire is no longer able to dissipatewater. This means that on wet road surfa-ces, the risk of hydroplaning increases, inparticular where speed is not adapted tosuit the driving conditions. There is a riskof accident.

If the tire pressure is too high or too low,tiresmay exhibit different levels ofwear atdifferent locations on the tire tread. Thus,you should regularly check the treaddepthand the condition of the tread across theentire width of all tires.

Minimum tire tread depth for:

RSummer tires: â in (3 mm)

RM+S tires: ã in (4 mm)

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

! If unavoidable, you should drive overobstacles such as curbs slowly and not at asharp angle. Otherwise, you may damagethe wheels or tires.

Check the wheels and tires for damage atleast once a month, as well as after drivingoff-road or on poorly surfaced roads.Break in new tires at moderate speeds for thefirst 60 miles (100 km), as they only reachtheir full performance after this distance.Vibrations, audible noises or unusual han-dling characteristics, e.g. pulling to one side,may indicate that the wheels or tires aredamaged.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading Stand-ards

Overview of Tire Quality Grading Stand-ards

Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards areU.S. government specifications. Their pur-

pose is to provide drivers with uniform reli-able information on tire performance data.Tire manufacturers must grade tires usingthree performance factors:

: Treadwear grade; Traction grade= Temperature gradeThese regulations do not apply to Canada.Nevertheless, all tires sold in North Americaare provided with the corresponding qualitygrading markings on the sidewall of the tire.Quality grades can be found, where applica-ble, on the tire sidewall between the treadshoulder and maximum tire width.Example:

RTreadwear grade: 200RTraction grade: AARTemperature grade: AAll passenger car tires must conform to thestatutory safety requirements in addition tothese grades.

i The actual values for tires are vehicle-specific and may deviate from the valuesin the illustration.

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative ratingbased on thewear rate of the tirewhen testedunder controlled conditions on a specifiedU.S. government course. For example, a tiregraded 150 would wear one and one-halftimes as well on the government test track asa tire graded 100.The relative performance of tires dependsupon the actual conditions of their use, how-ever, and may depart significantly from thenormdue to variations indrivinghabits, ser-vice practices and differences in road char-acteristics and climate conditions.

Traction

G WARNING

The traction grade assigned to this tire isbased on straight-ahead braking tractiontests, and does not include acceleration,cornering, hydroplaning, or peak tractioncharacteristics.

128 Obtaining information on tires>>

Maintenan

dcare.

! Avoidwheelspin. This can lead to damageto the drive train.

The traction grades, from highest to lowest,are AA, A, B and C. These grades represent thetire's ability to stop on wet surfaces, asmeasured under controlled conditions onspecified government test surfaces ofasphalt and concrete. A tire marked C mayhave poor traction performance.The safe speed on a wet, snow covered or icyroad is always lower than on dry road sur-faces.The drivers must pay special attention toroad conditions when temperatures arearound freezing point.smart recommends aminimum tread depth ofã in (4 mm) on all four winter tires. Thelegally required minimum tread depth mustbe observed. Winter tires can reduce thebraking distance on snow-covered surfacesin comparison with summer tires. The brak-ing distance is still much further than onsurfaces that are not icy or covered withsnow. Therefore take appropriate care whendriving.

Temperature

G WARNING

The temperature grade for this tire isestablished for a tire that is properlyinflated and not overloaded. Excessivespeed, underinflation, or excessive load-ing, either separately or in combination,can cause excessive heat build-up andpossible tire failure.

The temperature grades are A (the highest), Band C. They represent the tire's resistance tothe generation of heat and its ability to dis-sipate heat when tested under controlledconditions on a specified indoor laboratorytest wheel. Sustained high temperature cancause the material of the tire to degenerateand reduce tire life, and excessive tempera-ture can lead to sudden tire failure. ThegradeC corresponds to a level of performancewhich all passenger car tires must meetunder the Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandard No. 109. Grades B and A representhigher levels of performance on the labora-

tory test wheel than the minimum requiredby law.

If your vehicle has tires of adifferent size than the size indicated onthe Tire and Loading Information placardor, if available, the tire pressure label, youshould determine the proper tire pressurefor those tires.

As an added safety feature, your vehiclehas been equipped with a tire pressuremonitoring system (TPMS) that illuminatesa low tire pressure telltale when one ormore of your tires are significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tirepressure telltale lights up, you should stopand check your tires as soon as possible,and inflate them to the proper pressure.Driving on a significantly underinflatedtire causes the tire to overheat and canlead to tire failure.

Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiencyand tire tread life, andmay affect the vehi-cle's handling and stopping ability. Pleasenote that the TPMS is not a substitute forproper tiremaintenance, and it is the driv-er's responsibility to maintain correct tirepressure, even if underinflation has notreached the level to trigger illumination ofthe TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equippedwith aTPMS malfunction indicator to indicatewhen the system is not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-bined with the low tire pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction,the warning lamp will flash for approx-imately a minute and then remain contin-uously illuminated. This sequence will berepeated every time the vehicle is startedas long as themalfunction exists.When themalfunction indicator is illuminated, the

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

TPMSmalfunctions may occur for a varietyof reasons, including the installation ofincompatible replacement or alternatetires or wheels on the vehicle that preventthe TPMS from functioning properly.Always check the TPMS malfunction tell-tale after replacing one or more tires orwheels on your vehicle to ensure that thereplacement or alternate Tires and wheelsallow the TPMS to continue to functionproperly.

It is the driver's responsibility to set the tirepressure to that recommended for cold tireswhich is suitable for the operating situation.The tire pressure monitor issues a warningwhen the pressure drops in one ormore of thetires.The tire pressure monitor only functions ifsensors are present in all four tires, and afterthemonitor has learned the correct tire pres-sure for the current operating situation. Inmost cases, this occurs automatically, butmayalso be specified after restarting the tirepressure monitor. Before restarting, checkthe tires for the recommended tire pressure.The tire pressure monitor does not provide awarning in the following cases:

REven loss of pressure on multiple tiresRSudden loss of tire pressure, e.g. due topenetration by a foreign bodyRIncorrectly set tire pressureThe tire pressuremonitor has a yellowwarn-ing lamp in the instrument cluster for indi-cating pressure loss and malfunction.

Restarting the tire pressure monitor

G WARNING

Underinflated or overinflated tires posethe following risks:

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

Rthe tires may wear excessively and/orunevenly, whichmay greatly impair tiretraction.

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

There is a risk of an accident.

Follow recommended tire inflation pres-sures and check thepressure of all the tiresincluding the spare wheel:

Rmonthly, at least

Rif the load changes

Rbefore beginning a long journey

Runder different operating conditions,e.g. off-road driving

If necessary, correct the tire pressure.

G WARNING

If you mount unsuitable accessories ontotire valves, the tire valves may be over-loaded and malfunction, which can causetire pressure loss. Due to their design, ret-rofitted tire pressure monitoring systemswill keep the tire valve open. This can alsoresult in tire pressure loss. There is a riskof an accident.

Z

Only screw standard valve caps or valvecaps specifically approved for your vehicleby smart onto the tire valve.

G WARNING

If the tire pressure drops repeatedly, thewheel, valve or tire may be damaged. Tirepressure that is too lowmay result in a tireblow-out. There is a risk of an accident.

RCheck the tire 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.

The recommended tire pressures for the tiresmounted at the factory can be found on thelabels described here.Further information is available in qualifiedspecialist workshops.The specifications on the sample Tire andLoading Information placard and tire pres-sure tables are examples. Tire pressure spec-ifications are vehicle-specific andmaydevi-ate from the data shown here. The valid tirepressure value can be found on the Tire andLoading Information placard and the vehi-cle's tire pressure table.

: Recommended tire pressures

The Tire and Loading Information placard ison the door pillar on the driver's side(B-pillar).The Tire and Loading Information placardcontains the recommended tire pressures forcold tires. The recommended tire pressuresare valid for the maximum permissible loadand up to the maximum permissible vehiclespeed.

The tire pressure table is on the inside of thesocket flap.

Example: tire pressure table for all tires per-mitted for this vehicle by the factory

The tire pressure table contains the recom-mended pressures for cold tires for variousoperating conditions, i.e. differing load andspeed conditions.

Example: tire pressure table with tire dimen-sions

If a tire size precedes a tire pressure, the tirepressure information following is only validfor that tire size. The load conditions "par-tially laden" and "fully laden" are defined inthe table for different numbers of occupantsand amounts of luggage. The actual numberof seats may differ.

Some tire pressure tables only show the rimdiameter instead of the complete tire size,e.g. R18. The rim diameter is part of the tiresize and can be found on the tire sidewall.If the tire pressures have been set to thelower values for lighter loads and/or lowerspeeds, correct them in the following cases:

RIf you are driving with a heavier loadRIf you are driving at higher speeds

i The tire pressure recommended forincreased loads and higher speeds in thetire pressure table can affect driving com-fort.

If the tire pressure is not set correctly, thiscan lead to an excessive build up of heat anda sudden loss of pressure.

Underinflated or overinflated tires

G WARNING

Tires with pressure that is too low canoverheat and burst as a consequence. Inaddition, they also suffer from excessiveand/or irregular wear, which can severelyimpair the braking properties and thedriving characteristics. There is a risk ofan accident.

Avoid tire pressures that are too low in allthe tires, including the spare wheel.

G WARNING

Tires with excessively high pressure canburst because they are damagedmore eas-ily by road debris, potholes etc. In addi-tion, they also suffer from irregular wear,which can severely impair the braking

properties and the driving characteristics.There is a risk of an accident.

Avoid tire pressures that are too high in allthe tires, including the spare wheel.

Possible consequences of underinflatedtires:

RTire defects as a result of overheatingRAdverse effect on handling characteristicsRQuick and uneven wearRAdverse effect on energy consumptionPossible consequences of overinflated tires:

RLonger braking distanceRAdverse effect on handling characteristicsRQuick and uneven wearRAdverse effect on driving comfortRIncreased susceptibility to damage

: Example: maximum permissible tirepressure

Do not exceed the maximum permissible tireinflation pressure. Always observe the rec-ommended tire pressure when adjusting thetire pressure.The actual values for tires are vehicle-spe-cific and may deviate from the values in theillustration.

M+S tires with a tread depth of less thanãin (4 mm) must be replaced immediately.

At temperatures below 45 ‡ (+7†), summertires lose elasticity and therefore tractionand braking power. Change the tires on yourvehicle therefore to winter tires or all-sea-son tires marked with M+S. Using summertires at very cold temperatures could causetears to form, thereby damaging the tirespermanently. smart cannot accept responsi-bility for this type of damage.Have the vehicle winterproofed at a qualifiedspecialist workshop at the onset of winter.

X At low temperatures, use only winter tiresmarked with M+S.

X Use M+S tires with the additional isnowflake symbol in wintry road condi-tions.These tires allow driving safety systems,e.g. ABS, to function optimally in winter.

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

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

X Use only tire types and sizes approved forsmart.

X Whenusing tireswith a specified directionof rotation, observe the arrow on the side-wall indicating the tire's direction of rota-tion.

After mounting M+S tires:

X Check the tire pressure.X Restart the tire pressure monitor.

G WARNING

The electromagnetic radiation from modi-fied or incorrectly retrofitted RF-trans-mitters can interferewith the vehicle elec-tronics. This can compromise the opera-tional safety of the vehicle. There is a riskof an accident.

You should have all work to electrical andelectronic equipment carried out at aqualified specialist workshop.

G WARNING

The electromagnetic radiation from incor-rectly operated RF transmitters can inter-fere with the vehicle electronics, for exam-ple:

Rif the RF transmitter is not connectedwith an exterior antenna

Rthe exterior antenna has been installedincorrectly or is not a low-reflectiontype

This can compromise the operationalsafety of the vehicle. There is a risk of anaccident.

Have the low-reflection exterior antennamounted at a qualified specialist work-shop. When operating RF transmitters inthe vehicle, always connect them with thelow-reflection exterior antenna.

! 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 out-put in these wavebands.Ronly approved antennapositionsmaybeused.

Excessive levels of electromagnetic radia-tion can cause damage to health. Using anexterior antenna takes into account currentscientific discussions relating to the possi-ble health hazards thatmay result fromelec-tromagnetic fields.The following antenna positionsmaybe usedif RF transmitters have been properly instal-led:

: Front roof area; Rear roof area
