warning SMART FORTWO COUPE 2010 Owners Manual

GWarning!
With the engine not running, there is no
power assistance for the brake and
steering* systems. In this case, it is
important to keep in mind that a
considerably higher degree of effort is
necessary to brake and steer the vehicle.
Adapt your driving accordingly.
! Do not tow the vehicle with the front
axle raised. Doing so may cause serious
damage to the brake system which is not
covered by the smart Limited Warranty.
! Before towing the vehicle observe the
following instructions:
R Do not tow with sling-type equipment
attached to suspension parts. This may
cause damage to the radiator and other
supports if towing on a bumpy road.
R Towing the vehicle should only be done
using the properly installed towing
eye bolt. Never attach a tow cable, tow
rope, or tow rod to the vehicle chassis,
frame, or suspension parts.
! Make sure the ignition is switched off
while towing the vehicle. Doing
otherwise may result in
R the ESP ®
being activated. Active
braking action through the ESP ®
may
seriously damage the brake system
which is not covered by the smart
Limited Warranty.
R a discharged battery.
! Make sure the gear selector lever is in
neutral position N while towing the
vehicle. Doing otherwise may result in
significant transmission damage.
! Towing the vehicle with a luggage
rack* mounted is not permissible. The
vehicle must not be towed by the luggage
rack*.
i If the battery is disconnected or
discharged, the gear selector lever will
remain locked in park position P.
Contact an authorized smart center for
assistance or call Roadside Assistance.

High outside temperature, stop-and-go
traffic, driving on long uphill grades, or
driving at high engine speed may increase
the temperature in the engine
compartment. Therefore the area around the
air slots in the rear apron may be hot. Let
the engine cool off before touching this
area to prevent burns.

Installing towing eye bolt
XScrew towing eye bolt in clockwise to its
stop and tighten with a suitable object.GWarning!
For safety reasons, recovery or lashing
down of the vehicle by means of the towing
eye is not allowed. Failure to observe this
could result in the towing eye being ripped
out of its mounting and people being
injured.

vehicle are on the ground during the tow.
For vehicles that will be flat towed over
long distances observe the following
recommendations:
XPreparing the vehicle: Contact an
authorized smart center for information
on recommended tow bar equipment and
installing a matching on/off switch on
the battery terminal.XBefore towing: Make sure the ignition is
switched on.XEngage the parking brake.XDepress the brake pedal and keep it

Do not flat tow the vehicle with the front
axle raised. Doing so may cause serious
damage to the brake system which is not
covered by the smart Limited Warranty.
! Failure to follow the recommendations
for flat towing can cause damage to your
vehicle:
R Not following the battery disconnect
procedure in the proper sequence may
result in data loss in the vehicle’s
control units.
R Not disconnecting the battery and
leaving the key in starter switch
position 1 (ignition on) may result in
- the vehicle locking. The vehicle will
lock if the wheels are turning at
vehicle speeds of approximately
8 mph (14 km/h) or more.
- the ESP ®
being activated. Active
braking action through the ESP ®
may
seriously damage the brake system
which is not covered by the smart
Limited Warranty.
R Not moving the gear selector lever to
neutral position N may result in
significant transmission damage.
R in a discharged battery.
Fuses
The electrical fuses in your vehicle serve
to switch off malfunctioning power
circuits.
If a fuse is blown, the components and
systems secured by that fuse will stop
operating.
GWarning!
Only use fuses approved by smart with the
specified amperage for the system in
question and do not attempt to repair or
bridge a blown fuse this may cause an
overload leading to a fire, and/or cause
damage to electrical components and/or
systems. Contact a smart center if you
encounter any electrical problems.
! A blown fuse must be replaced by an
appropriate spare fuse (recognizable by
its color or the fuse rating given on the
fuse) of the amperage recommended in
the fuse chart. Any smart center will be
glad to advise you on this subject.
If a newly inserted fuse blows again, have
the cause determined and rectified at an
authorized smart center.
Before replacing fuses:
R Engage the parking brake.
R Make sure the gear selector lever is in
park position P.
R Turn off all electrical accessories.

Engine electronics
Work on engine electronics
GWarning!
Always have maintenance work on engine
electronics and components performed by a
qualified specialist, e.g. at a smart
center. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety related systems must be
carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
! Always have maintenance work on the
engine electronics and components, such
as control modules, sensors and
connecting cables, performed by a
qualified specialist who has the
necessary knowledge and tools to carry
out the work required, e.g. at a smart
center. Otherwise there is a danger that
vehicle components may wear more
rapidly, which may void the vehicle’s
warranty.
Retrofitting electrical and
electronic devices
Electrical and electronic devices can
endanger vehicle operating safety.

! Damage or consequential damage due to
retrofitting a device in the vehicle is
not covered by smart’s warranty.
If you install telephones or radio
transmitters in the vehicle you must have
such retrofits approved. smart approves
the installation of telephones and radio
devices if the work is done professionally
and the device is connected to a low-
reflection exterior antenna.
The transmitting power of the telephone or
radio must not exceed the following
maximum values.Frequency range
(band)Maximum
transmitting
power (Watts)Short wave
(<50 MHz)1002 m wavelength500.7 m wavelength350.25 m wavelength10GWarning!
Radio transmitters can interfere with the
vehicle’s electronic system, endanger the
operating safety of the vehicle and thus
your own safety, if
R there is no external antenna
R the external antenna is not low-
reflection
R the external antenna is incorrectly
installed
Excessive electromagnetic radiation can
damage your health and that of others.
Using an external antenna addresses and
considers the concerns currently being
discussed in scientific circles about the
health hazards possibly posed by
electromagnetic fields.
Because of this, have the external antenna
installed exclusively at a qualified
specialist workshop which has the
necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the work required, e.g. at a
smart center. In particular, work relevant
to safety or on safety-related systems must
be carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
