Replacing wiper blades
About replacing wiper blades
GWarning!
For safety reasons, switch off the wipers
and remove the key from the starter switch
before replacing a wiper blade. The
windshield wipers could otherwise be set
in motion and cause injury.
GWarning!
Wiper blades are components that are
subject to wear and tear. Replace the wiper
blades at least twice a year, preferably in
the spring and fall. Otherwise the windows
will not be properly wiped. As a result, you
may not be able to observe surrounding
traffic conditions and could cause an
accident.
! Hold on to the wiper when folding the
wiper arm back. If released, the force of
the impact from the windshield wiper
tensioning spring could crack the
windshield.
Do not allow the wiper arms to contact the
windshield glass without a wiper blade
inserted.
We recommend that you have this work
carried out at an authorized smart
center.

Flat tire
Preparing the vehicle
Upon experiencing any type of problem
with the vehicle’s tires, switch on the
hazard warning flasher, carefully slow
down and exit the roadway in a cautious
manner.
XPark the vehicle at a safe distance from
moving traffic on a hard, flat surface
when possible.XMake sure the tire valve of the damaged
tire is located below the horizontal axle
of the wheel hub.XEngage the parking brake.XTurn the steering wheel so that the front
wheels are in a straight ahead position.XMove the gear selector lever to park
position P.XTurn off the engine.XRemove the key from the starter switch
and take the key with you.
i Open door only when conditions are safe
to do so.
XHave any passenger exit the vehicle at a
safe distance from the roadway.
Using the tire repair kit
! Depending on the type of damage on the
tire, the tire sealant could damage the
sensor of the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)*. Such damage is not
covered by the smart Limited Warranty.
When having the damaged tire replaced,
also have the TPMS sensors* checked for
proper function. When the sensor is
damaged, the TPMS* will not function
properly. The sensor must then be
replaced at an authorized smart center as
soon as possible.

The vehicle’s battery is drained by use
of the electric air pump. You should
therefore keep the engine running — in
the open air — while inflating the tire.
006EElectric air pump switchXPress I on electric air pump switch 006E.
The electric air pump is switched on and
inflates the tire.
i First, the sealant is pumped into the
tire. The pressure may briefly increase
to a high value. This is normal and not an
indication of a malfunction. Do not
switch off the electric air pump.XLet the electric air pump inflate the tire
for a maximum of ten minutes.
Pressure gauge 0047 must display at least
26 psi (1.8 bar).GWarning!
The filler hose can become hot during
inflation.
Please exercise appropriate caution.
! Do not operate the electric air pump
longer than ten minutes without
interruption. Otherwise it may overheat.
You may operate the electrical air pump
again after it has cooled off.
XIf a tire inflation pressure of at least
26 psi (1.8 bar) is not attained, turn off
the electric air pump by pressing 0 on
electric air pump switch 006E.XUnscrew the end of filler hose 0088 from
tire valve 0072.XAfter clearing the area around the
vehicle of people and obstacles, drive
vehicle back or forth very slowly
approximately 30 ft (10 m).
This serves to better distribute the tire
sealant material inside the tire.XScrew the end of filler hose 0088 onto tire
valve 0072.XInflate the tire again.GWarning!
If a tire inflation pressure of 26 psi
(1.8 bar) is not attained, the tire is too
severely damaged for the tire sealant to
provide a reliable tire repair.
In this case, the tire sealant cannot
properly seal the tire.
Do not drive the vehicle.
Contact the nearest smart center for
assistance or call Roadside Assistance.

guarantee that all tire punctures can be
repaired with the tire repair kit, in
particular cuts or perforations larger
than approximately 0.16 in (4 mm) or away
from the tire’s tread. The manufacturer
is not liable for damage sustained
through improper use of the tire repair
kit.

GWarning!
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in severe injury or death.
Observe all safety instructions and
precautions when handling automotive
batteries.
Never lean over batteries while
connecting, you might get injured.
Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not
allow this fluid to come in contact with
eyes, skin or clothing. In case it does,
immediately flush affected area with water
and seek medical help if necessary.

Jump starting
GWarning!
Failure to follow these directions will
cause damage to the electronic components,
and can lead to a battery explosion and
severe injury or death.
Never lean over batteries while connecting
or jump starting, you might get injured.
Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not
allow this fluid to come in contact with
eyes, skin or clothing. In case it does,
immediately flush affected area with
water, and seek medical help if necessary.
A battery will also produce hydrogen gas,
which is flammable and very explosive.
Keep flames or sparks away from battery,
avoid improper connection of jumper
cables, smoking, etc.
Attempting to jump start a frozen battery
can result in it exploding, causing
personal injury.
Read all instructions before proceeding.
! Do not tow‑start vehicle. You could
otherwise seriously damage the
transmission which is not covered by the
smart Limited Warranty.
! Avoid repeated and lengthy starting
attempts.
Do not attempt to start the engine using
a battery quick charge unit.
If the engine does not run after several
unsuccessful starting attempts, have it
checked at the nearest authorized smart
center.
Excessive unburned fuel generated by
repeated failed starting attempts may
damage the catalytic converter and may
present a fire risk.
Make sure the jumper cables do not have
loose or missing insulation.
Make sure the cable clamps do not touch
any other metal part while the other end
is still attached to a battery.
If the battery is discharged, the engine can
be started with jumper cables and the fully
