The yellow distance
warning function warn-
ing lamp comes on
while the vehicle is
moving.The distance warning function is malfunctioning or temporarily
inoperative. Possible causes are:
Rthe smart logo in the radiator trim is dirty.
Rfunction is impaired due to heavy rain or snow.
Rthe radar sensor system is temporarily inoperative, e.g. due to
electromagnetic radiation emitted by nearby TV or radio sta-
tions or other sources of electromagnetic radiation.
Rthe system is outside the operating temperature range.
RThe on-board voltage is too low.
If the causes listed above no longer apply, the distance warning
function is operational again.
If the distance warning lamp continues to light up, the distance
warning function electronics are malfunctioning.

Coolant
Important safety notes
GWARNING
The cooling system is pressurized, partic- ularly when the motor is warm. If you open
the cap, you could be scalded if hot coolant
sprays out. There is a risk of injury.
Let the engine cool down before you open
the cap. Wear gloves and eye protection.
Slowly open the cap to relieve pressure.
Checking the coolant
The coolant expansion tank is in the area
under the service cover.
XOpen the service cover (Ypage 151).
XLet the coolant cool down for at least
30 minutes.
XPark the vehicle on a level surface.
Only check the coolant level when the vehi-cle is on a level surface and the engine has
cooled down.
XCheck the reservoir visually.
The fluid level must be between MIN and
MAX.
Adding coolant
XCover cap 0043of coolant expansion tank 0044
with a cloth.
XSlowly turn cover cap 0043anti-clockwise to
allow excess pressure to escape.
XTurn cap 0043further anti-clockwise and
remove it.
XDo not exceed the maximum filling level
when adding coolant.
XScrew on cap 0043tightly. For further information on coolant, see
(
Ypage 210).
Windshield washer system
GWARNING
Windshield washer concentrate is highly
flammable. If it comes into contact with hot
components in the front compartment, it
may ignite. There is a risk of fire and
injury.
Make sure that no windshield washer con-
centrate is spilled next to the filler neck.
XOpen the service cover (Ypage 151).
XTo open: pull cap0043upwards by the tab.
XIf available, pull the removable nozzle up
as far as the stop.
XAdd the premixed washer fluid.
XTo close: if available, push the removable
nozzle down and push it inside.

iThe service display does not show any
information on the engine oil level.
Observe the notes on the engine oil level
(
Ypage 150).
Whenever a service is due, this is shown
approximately 30 days or 1500 km (1000 miles)
beforehand. After starting the engine, a ser-
vice message appears in the instrument clus-
ter display for a few seconds; see the follow-
ing example.

The symbol shows the type of service. 0099
stands for a minor service and 009Afor a
major service.
The service display does not take into
account any periods of time during which the
battery is disconnected.
Maintaining the time-dependent service
schedule:
XNote down the service due date in the ser-
vice display before disconnecting the bat-
tery.
or
XAfter reconnecting the battery, subtract
the battery disconnection periods from the
service date shown on the display.
Hiding a service message

steering wheel.
Calling up the service display
XSwitch on the ignition.
XPress the 0063or0064 button on the steer-
ing wheel to select the MessagesandSer‐vicemenu.
The service display shows when the service
is due.
Information about Service
Resetting the service display
!Have service work carried out as descri-
bed in the Maintenance Booklet. This may
otherwise lead to increased wear and dam-
age to the major assemblies or the vehicle.
A qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart center, will reset the service interval dis-
play after the service work has been carried
out. You can also obtain further information
on maintenance work, for example.
Special service requirements
The prescribed service interval is based on
normal operation of the vehicle. Service work
will need to be performed more often if the
vehicle is operated under arduous conditions
or increased loads, for example:
Rregular city driving with frequent inter-
mediate stops
Rif the vehicle is primarily used to travel
short distances
Rfor frequent operation in mountainous ter-
rain or on poor road surfaces
Rif the engine is often left idling for long
periods
In these or similar operating conditions,
have, for example, the air filter, engine oil
and oil filter changed more frequently. The
tires must be checked more frequently if the
vehicle is operated under increased loads.
You can obtain further information at a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart
center.
Driving abroad
An extensive smart service network is also
available in other countries. For further
information inquire at any smart center.
Care
General notes
HEnvironmental note
Dispose of empty packaging and cleaning
cloths in an environmentally responsible
manner.
154Care
>> Maintenance and care.

XFold the windshield wiper arms away from
the windshield.
XCarefully clean the wiper blades with a
damp cloth.
XFold the windshield wiper arms back againbefore switching on the ignition.
!Hold the wiper arm securely when folding
back. The windshield could be damaged if
the wiper arm smacks against it suddenly.
Cleaning the exterior lighting
!Only use cleaning agents or cleaning
cloths which are suitable for plastic light
lenses. Unsuitable cleaning agents or
cleaning cloths could scratch or damage
the plastic light lenses.
XClean the plastic lenses of the exterior
lighting using a wet sponge and a mild
cleaning agent, e.g. smart car shampoo or
cleaning cloths.
Cleaning the sensors
!If you clean the sensors with a power
washer, make sure that you keep a distance
of at least 11.8 in (30 cm) between the vehi-
cle and the power washer nozzle. Informa-
tion about the correct distance is availa-
ble from the equipment manufacturer.
XClean sensors 0043of the driving systems
with water, car shampoo and a soft cloth.
Cleaning the exhaust pipe
Impurities combined with the effects of road
grit and corrosive environmental factors may
cause flash rust to form on the surface. You
can restore the original shine of the exhaust
pipe by cleaning it regularly, especially in
winter and after washing.
!Do not clean the exhaust pipe with acid-
based cleaning agents, such as bathroom
cleaner or wheel cleaner.
XClean the exhaust pipe with a care product tested and approved by smart.
Interior care
Cleaning the display
!For cleaning, do not use any of the fol-
lowing:
Ralcohol-based thinner or gasoline
Rabrasive cleaning agents
Rcommercially-available household
cleaning agents
These may damage the display surface. Do
not put pressure on the display surface
when cleaning. This could lead to irrepar-
able damage to the display.
XBefore cleaning the display, make sure that
it is switched off and has cooled down.
XClean the display surface using a commer-
cially available microfiber cloth and TFT/
LCD display cleaner.
XDry the display surface using a dry micro-
fiber cloth.
Cleaning the plastic trim
GWARNING
Care products and cleaning agents contain-
ing solvents cause surfaces in the cockpit
to become porous. As a result, plastic parts may come loose in the event of air bag
deployment. There is a risk of injury.
Do not use any care products and cleaning
agents to clean the cockpit.
