19 Maintenance
The Service Booklet describes all the neces
sary maintenance work which should be per
formed at regular intervals. It is important
that you service your vehicle in accordance
with the prescribed maintenance schedule.
Failure to do so may render your vehicle un
safe, it may affect the durability of the vehi
cle, and it may otherwise void the limited,
express warranty.
Always have the Service Booklet with you when
you take the vehicle to your authorized smart
center for service. The service advisor will
record each service in the booklet for you.
Roadside AssistanceThe smartmove Assistance (Canada) and
smart1 (USA) Program provides factory
trained technical help in the event of a break
down. Calls to the tollfree Roadside Assis
tance number
18007627887 (in the USA)
18776278004 (in Canada)
will be answered by smart Customer
Assistance Representatives 24 hours a day,
365 days a year.
Roadside Assistance will be provided in
accordance with standard program guidelines
which include providing service to the vehicle
up to a reasonable distance from a paved
roadway. We will make every effort to assist in
a breakdown situation, however, the accessi
bility of your vehicle will be determined by our
authorized smart center technician or the tow
service provider on a casebycase basis and
may be a factor in our ability to respond.Additional charges may be applicable for a
breakdown location determined not to be a
reasonably accessible roadside location as
determined by our authorized technician and
tow service provider.
For additional information refer to the smart
Roadside Assistance Program brochure in
your vehicle literature portfolio.

>> Operation
!
To prevent damage to the catalytic
converter, only use premium unleaded gaso
line in this vehicle.
Any noticeable irregularities in engine oper
ation should be repaired promptly. Otherwise,
excessive unburned fuel may reach the cata
lytic converter, causing it to overheat and
potentially start a fire.
It is essential to observe the following points,
as there is otherwise a danger of overheating
and the catalytic converter may be damaged.
• Fill up only with premium unleaded gasoline.
Even small quantities of leaded gasoline can
damage the catalytic converter.
• Make sure you adhere to the prescribed
service intervals.
• Never run the fuel tank empty.
• If the engine starts to misfire, bring the ve
hicle to an immediate standstill without en
dangering traffic.
• If the engine fails to start the first time, you
should not try to start it any more than
three times in succession.
• Do not try to start for more than four sec
onds at a time.
TiresTreadwear indicators (TWI) are required by
law. These indicators are located in six places
on the tread circumference and become visi
ble at a tread depth of approximately
1/16in
(1.6 mm), at which point the tire is considered
worn and should be replaced. The treadwear indicator appears as a solid
band across the tread.
Specified tire inflation pressures must be
maintained. This applies particularly if the
tires are subject to high loads (e.g. high
speeds, heavy loads, high ambient tempera
tures).
G
Warning!
If you feel a sudden significant vibration
or ride disturbance, or you suspect that
possible damage to your vehicle has
occurred, you should turn on the hazard
warning flashers, carefully slow down,
and drive with caution to an area which is
a safe distance from the road.
Inspect the tires and the vehicle under
body for possible damage. If the vehicle
or tires appear unsafe, have the vehicle
towed to the nearest smart center or tire
dealer for repairs.
G
Warning!
Although the applicable federal motor
vehicle safety laws consider a tire to be
worn when the treadwear indicators (TWI)
become visible at approximately
1/16in
(1.6 mm), we recommend that you do not
allow your tires to wear down to that
level. As tread depth approaches
1/8in
(3 mm), the adhesion properties on a wet
road are sharply reduced.
Depending upon the weather and/or road
surface (conditions), the tire traction
varies widely.
