Protection of the environment
General notes
HEnvironmental note
Daimler's declared policy is one of com-
prehensive environmental protection.
The objectives are for the natural resour-
ces that form the basis of our existence on
this planet to be used sparingly and in a
manner that takes the requirements of both
nature and humanity into account.
You too can help to protect the environment
by operating your vehicle in an environ-
mentally responsible manner.
Fuel consumption and the rate of engine,
transmission, brake and tire wear are
affected by these factors:
Roperating conditions of your vehicle
Ryour personal driving style
You can influence both factors. You should
bear the following in mind:
Operating conditions:
Ravoid short trips as these increase fuel
consumption.
Ralways make sure that the tire pressures
are correct.
Rdo not carry any unnecessary weight.
Ra regularly serviced vehicle will con-
tribute to environmental protection. You
should therefore adhere to the service
intervals.
RAlways have service work carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style:
Rdo not depress the accelerator pedal
when starting the engine.
Rdo not warm up the engine when the vehi-
cle is stationary.
Rdrive carefully and maintain a safe dis- tance from the vehicle in front.
Ravoid frequent, sudden acceleration and
braking.
Rchange gear in good time and use each
gear only up to 00C3of its maximum engine
speed.
Rswitch off the engine in stationary traf-
fic.
Rkeep an eye on the vehicle's fuel con-
sumption.
Environmental concerns and recom-
mendations
Wherever the operating instructions require you to dispose of materials, first try to
regenerate or re-use them. Observe the rel-
evant environmental rules and regulations
when disposing of materials. In this way you
will help to protect the environment.
Genuine smart parts
HEnvironmental note
Daimler AG also supplies reconditioned
major assemblies and parts which are of the
same quality as new parts. They are covered
by the same Limited Warranty entitlements
as new parts.
!Air bags and Emergency Tensioning Devi-
ces, as well as control units and sensors for
these restraint systems, may be installed
in the following areas of your vehicle:
Rdoors
Rdoor pillars
Rdoor sills
Rseats
Rcockpit
Rinstrument cluster
Rcenter console
Do not install accessories such as audio
systems in these areas. Do not carry out
repairs or welding. You could impair the
operating efficiency of the restraint sys-
tems.
Have aftermarket accessories installed at
a qualified specialist workshop.
You could jeopardize the operating safety of
your vehicle if you use parts, tires and wheels

Driving safety systems
Overview of driving safety systems
In this section, you will find information
about the following driving safety systems:
RABS (Anti-lock BrakingSystem)
(Ypage 47)
RDistance warning function (Ypage 48)
Resp®(Electronic StabilityProgram)
(Ypage 49)
REBD (Electronic Brake forceDistribution)
(Ypage 50)
Important safety notes
If you fail to adapt your driving style or
become distracted, the driving safety sys-
tems can neither reduce the risk of accident
nor override the laws of physics. Driving
safety systems are merely aids designed to
assist driving. You are responsible for the
distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle
speed and for braking in good time. Always
adapt your driving style to suit the prevail-
ing road, weather and traffic conditions and
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front. Drive carefully.
The driving safety systems described only
work as effectively as possible when there is
adequate contact between the tires and the
road surface. Please pay special attention to
the notes on tires, recommended minimum
tire tread depths, etc. (
Ypage 177).
In wintry driving conditions, always use win-
ter tires (M+S tires) and if necessary, snow
chains. Only in this way will the driving
safety systems described in this section work
as effectively as possible. For safety reasons, smart recommends that you
only use snow chains that have been specially
approved for your vehicle by smart, or fine-
link snow chains that are of a corresponding
standard of quality. For more information,
please contact a qualified specialist work-
shop.
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
General information
ABS regulates brake pressure in such a way
that the wheels do not lock when you brake.
This allows you to continue steering the vehi-
cle when braking.
The 0025 (Canada only) or 00DF(USA only) abs
warning lamp in the instrument cluster lights up when the ignition is switched on. It goes
out when the engine is running.
Important safety notes
iObserve the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion for driving safety systems (Ypage 47).
When ABS is malfunctioning, other systems,
including driving safety systems, will also
become inoperative. Observe the information
on the ABS warning lamp (
Ypage 132) and
display messages which may be shown in the
instrument cluster (
Ypage 121).
GWARNING
If ABS is faulty, the wheels could lock when
braking. The steerability and braking
characteristics may be severely impaired.
Additionally, further driving safety sys-
tems are deactivated. There is an increased
danger of skidding and accidents.
Drive on carefully. Have ABS checked imme-
diately at a qualified specialist workshop.
abs works from a speed of about 4 mph (6 km/h),
regardless of road-surface conditions. ABS
works on slippery surfaces, even if you only
brake gently.

When the engine is running, the 0027(USA
only) or 004D(Canada only) indicator lamp
lights up in the instrument cluster.
XTo release: depress the brake pedal and
keep it depressed.
XPress release button 0043on parking

Ra warning tone sounds
RThe Release Parking Brakemessage

Rthe 004D indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up
Parking the vehicle for a long period
If you leave the vehicle parked for longer than
four weeks, the battery may be damaged by
exhaustive discharging.
If you leave the vehicle parked for longer than
six weeks, the vehicle may suffer damage as a
result of lack of use.
XVisit a qualified specialist workshop and
seek advice.
iYou can obtain information about trickle
chargers from a qualified specialist work-
shop.
Driving tips
General notes
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you switch off the ignition while driv-
ing, safety-relevant functions are only
available with limitations, or not at all.
This could affect, for example, the power
steering and the brake boosting effect. You will require considerably more effort to
steer and brake. There is a risk of an acci-dent.
Do not switch off the ignition while driv-
ing.
GWARNING
If you operate mobile communication
equipment while driving, you will be dis-
tracted from traffic conditions. You could
also lose control of the vehicle. There is a
risk of an accident.
Only operate this equipment when the vehi- cle is stationary.
Observe the legal requirements for the coun-
try in which you are driving. Some jurisdic-
tions prohibit the driver from using a mobile
phone while driving a vehicle.
If you make a call while driving, always use
hands-free mode. Only use the telephone when
the traffic situation permits. If you are
unsure, pull over to a safe location and stop
before using the telephone.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), the vehicle covers a
distance of 44 ft (approximately 14 m) per
second.
Drive sensibly – save fuel
Observe the following tips to save fuel:
RThe tires should always be inflated to the
recommended tire pressure.
RRemove unnecessary loads.
RWarm up the engine at low engine speeds.
RAvoid frequent acceleration or braking.
RHave all maintenance work carried out as
indicated by the service intervals in the
Maintenance Booklet or by the service
interval display.
Fuel consumption also increases when driv-
ing in cold weather, in stop-start traffic and
in hilly terrain.
Drinking and driving
GWARNING
Drinking and driving and/or taking drugs
and driving are very dangerous combina-
