Replacing bulbs
About replacing bulbs
Safe vehicle operation depends on proper
exterior lighting and signaling. It is
therefore essential that all bulbs and lamp
assemblies are in good working order at all
times.
Correct headlamp adjustment is extremely
important. Have headlamps checked and
readjusted at regular intervals and when a
bulb has been replaced. Contact an
authorized smart center for headlamp
adjustment.
GWarning!
Bulbs and bulb sockets can be very hot.
Allow the lamp to cool down before changing
a bulb. Otherwise you could be burned if you
touch them.
Keep bulbs out of the reach of children.
Halogen lamps contain pressurized gas. A
bulb can explode if you:
R touch or move it when hot
R drop the bulb
R scratch the bulb
Wear eye and hand protection.
i If the headlamps or front fog lamps* are
fogged up on the inside as a result of
high humidity, driving the vehicle a
distance with the lights on should clear
up the fogging.
Notes on bulb replacement:
R Only use bulbs of the same type and with
the specified watt rating.
R Switch the lights off before replacing a
bulb to prevent short circuits.
R Always use a clean lint-free cloth when
handling bulbs.
R Your hands should be dry and free of oil
and grease.
R Avoid touching the glass of the bulb with
bare fingers.
R If the newly installed bulb does not come
on, contact an authorized smart center.
R Have the bulbs for the front fog lamps*
replaced at an authorized smart center.164Replacing bulbs>> Practical hints.* optional451_AKB; 3; 22, en-USd2ureepe,Version: 2.11.8.12009-07-27T09:36:34+02:00 - Seite 164

XPosition jack 0046 under take-up
bracket 0047 so that it is always vertical
as seen from the side, even if the vehicle
is parked on an incline.
The take-up brackets are identified by
the embossed recesses in the area of the
door sills.
! Only position the jack on the
designated take-up brackets. Otherwise,
the vehicle could be damaged.
XJack up the vehicle until the wheel is a
maximum of 1.2 in (3 cm) from the ground.XUnscrew and remove the wheel bolts.
! Do not place wheel bolts in sand or dirt.
This could result in damage to the wheel
bolts and wheel hub threads.
XRemove the wheel.
Mounting the wheel
GWarning!
Always replace wheel bolts that are
damaged or rusted.
Never apply oil or grease to wheel bolts.
Damaged wheel hub threads should be
repaired immediately. Do not continue to
drive under these circumstances! Contact
an authorized smart Center or call
Roadside Assistance.
Incorrect wheel bolts or improperly
tightened wheel bolts can cause the wheel
to come off. This could cause an accident.
Be sure to use the correct wheel bolts.GWarning!
Only use genuine smart wheel bolts. Other
wheel bolts may come loose.
Do not tighten the wheel bolts when the
vehicle is raised. Otherwise the vehicle
could fall off the jack.
XClean contact surfaces of wheel and wheel
hub.
! To avoid paint damage, place wheel flat
against hub and hold it there while
installing first wheel bolt.
XGuide the wheel onto the wheel hub and
push it on.XInsert two wheel bolts and tighten them
slightly.XVehicles with wheel trim cap on steel
rim: Attach the wheel trim cap so that it
is held by the two wheel bolts.XInstall last wheel bolt and tighten it
slightly.XLower the vehicle until the vehicle is
resting fully on its own weight.XRemove the jack.XTighten the wheel bolts. Observe a
tightening torque of 80 lb-ft (110 Nm).GWarning!
Have the tightening torque checked after
changing a wheel. The wheels could come

Coolants
The engine coolant is a mixture of water
and anticorrosion/antifreeze, which
provides:
R Corrosion protection
R Freeze protection
R Boiling protection (by increasing the
boiling point)
The cooling system was filled at the factory
with a coolant providing freeze protection
to approximately -35 ¦ (-37 ¥) and
corrosion protection.
! Add premixed coolant solution only.
Adding water and MB 325.0
Anticorrosion/Antifreeze separately
from each other, could cause engine
damage not covered by the smart Limited
Warranty.
If the antifreeze mixture is effective to
-35 ¦ (-37 ¥), the boiling point of the
coolant in the pressurized cooling system
is reached at approximately 266¦ (130 ¥).
The coolant solution must be used year
round, even in countries which have high
temperatures to provide the necessary
corrosion protection and increase
boil‑over protection. Refer to
Maintenance/ Service Booklet for
replacement interval.
Coolant system design and coolant used
determine the replacement interval. The
replacement interval published in the
Maintenance booklet is only applicable if
MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze
solution or other smart approved products
of equal specification are used to renew
the coolant concentration or bring it back
up to the proper level.
For information on other smart approved
products of equal specification, contact an
authorized smart center.
To provide important corrosion
protection, the solution must be at least
50% anticorrosion/antifreeze (equivalent
to freeze protection to approximately
-35 ¦ [-37 ¥]).
If you use a solution that is more than 55%
anticorrosion/antifreeze (freeze
protection to approximately -49 ¦
[(-45 ¥]), the engine temperature will
increase due to the lower heat transfer
capability of the solution. Therefore, do
not use more than this amount of
anticorrosion/antifreeze.
If the coolant level is low, water and
MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze should
be used to bring it up to the proper level
(have cooling system checked for signs of
leakage). Please make sure the mixture is
in accordance with label instructions.
Always use anticorrosion/antifreeze that
have been approved by smart. For
information contact an authorized smart
center.
The water in the cooling system must meet
minimum requirements, which are usually
satisfied by normal drinking water.
If you are not sure about the water quality,
consult an authorized smart center.Service fluids and capacities209>> Technical data.451_AKB; 3; 22, en-USd2ureepe,Version: 2.11.8.12009-07-27T09:36:34+02:00 - Seite 209Z
