SMART FORTWO 2016 Owner's Manual

electronic equipment carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
If you make any changes to the vehicle elec-
tronics, the general operating permit is ren-
dered invalid.
!There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:
Rthe vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high
curb or an unpaved road
Ryou drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a
curb or a hole in the road
Ra heavy object strikes the undercarriage
or parts of the chassis
In situations like this, the body, the under-
carriage, chassis parts, wheels or tires
could be damaged without the damage being
visible. Components damaged in this way
can unexpectedly fail or, in the case of an
accident, no longer withstand the strain
they are designed to.
If the underbody paneling is damaged,
combustible materials such as leaves,
grass or twigs can gather between the
underbody and the underbody paneling. If
these materials come in contact with hot
parts of the exhaust system, they can catch
fire.
In such situations, have the vehicle
checked and repaired immediately at a
qualified specialist workshop. If on con-
tinuing your journey you notice that driv-
ing safety is impaired, pull over and stop
the vehicle immediately, paying attention
to road and traffic conditions. In such
cases, consult a qualified specialist work-
shop.
Declarations of conformity
Vehicle components which receive
and/or transmit radio waves
USA: "The wireless devices of this vehicle
comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Opera-
tion is subject to the following two condi-
tions: 1) These devices may not cause harmful interference, and 2) These devices must
accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired oper-
ation. Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s author-
ity to operate the equipment."
Canada:
"The wireless devices of this vehicle
comply with Industry Canada license-exempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) These devices
may not cause interference, and (2) These
devices must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause unde-
sired operation of the device."
Diagnostics connection
The diagnostics connection is only intended
for the connection of diagnostic equipment
at a qualified specialist workshop.
GWARNING
If you connect equipment to the diagnostics
connection in the vehicle, it may affect the
operation of the vehicle systems. As a
result, the operating safety of the vehicle
could be affected. There is a risk of an
accident.
Do not connect any equipment to a diagnos-
tics connection in the vehicle.
GWARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell can
restrict the pedal travel or obstruct a
depressed pedal. The operating and road
safety of the vehicle is jeopardized. There
is a risk of an accident.
Make sure that all objects in the vehicle are
stowed correctly, and that they cannot enter
the driver's footwell. Install the floormats securely and as specified in order to
ensure sufficient clearance for the pedals.
Do not use loose floormats and do not place
floormats on top of one another.
!If the engine is switched off and equip-
ment on the diagnostics connection is used,
the starter battery may discharge.
Connecting equipment to the diagnostics
connection can lead to emissions monitoring
information being reset, for example. This
may lead to the vehicle failing to meet the

requirements of the next emissions test dur-
ing the main inspection.
Qualified specialist workshop
A smart center is a qualified specialist
workshop. It has the necessary specialist
knowledge, tools and qualifications to cor-
rectly carry out the work required on your
vehicle. This is especially the case for work
relevant to safety.
Observe the notes in the Maintenance Book-
let.
Always have the following work carried out at
a smart center:
Rwork relevant to safety
Rservice and maintenance work
Rrepair work
Ralterations, installation work and modifi-
cations
Rwork on electronic components
Correct use
If you remove any warning stickers, you or
others could fail to recognize certain dan-
gers. Leave warning stickers in position.
Observe the following information when
driving your vehicle:
Rthe safety notes in this manual
Rthe Technical Data section in this manual
Rtraffic rules and regulations
Rlaws and safety standards pertaining to
motor vehicles
Problems with your vehicle
If you should experience a problem with your
vehicle, particularly one that you believe
may affect its safe operation, we urge you to
immediately contact an authorized smart
center to have the problem diagnosed and
corrected if required. Do not drive the vehi-
cle if you believe it may not be safely oper-
ated. If the matter is not handled to your sat-
isfaction, please discuss the problem with
the smart center management, or if necessarycontact us at one of the following addresses:

QR codes for rescue card
The QR codes are secured in the fuel filler
flap and on the opposite side on the B-pillar.
In the event of an accident, rescue services
can use the QR code to quickly find the appro-
priate rescue card for your vehicle. The cur-
rent rescue card contains the most important
information about your vehicle in a compact
form, e.g. the routing of the electric cables.

Data stored in the vehicle
Data recording
This vehicle is capable of recording diag-
nostic information relating to vehicle oper-
ation, malfunctions, and user settings. This
may include information about the perform-
ance or status of various systems, including
but not limited to, engine, throttle, steering
or brake systems, that is stored and can be
read out with suitable devices, particularly
when the vehicle is serviced. The data
obtained is used to properly diagnose and
service your vehicle or to further optimize
and develop vehicle functions.
Event data recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is
to record data that will assist in understand-
ing how a vehicle’s systems performed in cer-
tain crash or near crash-like situations, such
as during air bag deployment or when hitting
a road obstacle. The EDR is designed to record
20>> Introduction.

data related to vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time, typically
30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
such data as:
Rhow various systems in your vehicle are
operating
Rwhether or not the driver and passenger
seat belts are fastened
Rhow far (if at all) the driver is depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal and
Rhow fast the vehicle is traveling
This data can help provide a better under-
standing of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data is
recorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivial
crash situation occurs. No data is recorded by
the EDR under normal driving conditions. No
personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and
accident location) are recorded. However,
other parties, such as law enforcement, can
combine the EDR data with the type of per-
sonal identification data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation. EDR data may be
used in civil and criminal matters as a tool in
accident reconstruction, accident claims,
and vehicle safety.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to
the vehicle manufacturer, other parties that
have the special equipment, such as law
enforcement, can read the information by
accessing the vehicle or the EDR.
EDR data may be used in civil and criminal
matters as a tool in accident reconstruction,
accident claims, and vehicle safety. Since
the Crash Data Retrieval CDR tool that is used
to extract data from the EDR is commercially
available, Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
("MBUSA") expressly disclaims any and all
liability arising from the extraction of this
information by unauthorized Mercedes-Benz
personnel.
MBUSA will not share EDR data with others
without the consent of the vehicle owners or,
if the vehicle is leased, without the consent
of the lessee. Exceptions to this representa- tion include responses to subpoenas by law
enforcement; by federal, state or local gov-
ernment; in connection with or arising out of
litigation involving MBUSA or its subsidi a-
ries and affiliates; or, as required by law. Warning: the EDR is a component of the
Restraint System Module. Tampering with,
altering, modifying or removing the EDR com-
ponent may result in a malfunction of the
Restraint System Module and other systems.
State laws or regulations regarding EDRs that
conflict with federal regulation are pre-
empted. This means that in the event of such
conflict, the federal regulation governs. As
of February 2013, 13 states have enacted laws
related to EDRs.
