! Do not use any special lubricant
additives, as these may increase wear
and damage the drive assemblies. Using
special additives not approved by smart
may cause damage not covered by the
smart Limited Warranty. More
information on this subject is available
at any smart center.
Checking engine oil level
! Check the engine oil level at regular
intervals.
When checking the engine oil level
R the vehicle must be parked on level
ground
R the vehicle must have been stationary for
at least five minutes with the engine
turned off
XTurn off the engine.XEngage the parking brake.XOpen the tailgate.XOpen the engine compartment cover
( Y page 107).
The oil dipstick is located in the engine
compartment on the passenger side.
XPull out oil dipstick 0046.XWipe oil dipstick 0046 clean with a clean
cloth.XFully insert oil dipstick 0046 into the
dipstick guide tube.XPull out oil dipstick 0046 again after
approximately one minute to obtain
accurate reading.
The oil level is correct when it is
between lower mark 008A (minimum) and
upper mark 0047 (maximum) on both sides
of oil dipstick 0046.XFully insert oil dipstick 0046 into the
dipstick guide tube again.XIf necessary, add engine oil
( Y page 109).
i
The filling quantity between the upper
and lower marks on the oil dipstick is
approximately 1.1 US qt (1.0 l).
Adding engine oil
! Only use approved engine oils and oil
filters required for vehicles with
Maintenance System. For a listing of
approved engine oils and oil filters
contact an authorized smart center.
Using engine oils and oil filters of
specification other than those expressly
required for the Maintenance System, or
changing of oil and oil filter at change
intervals longer than those called for by
the Maintenance System will result in
engine or emission control system
damage not covered by the smart Limited
Warranty.
GWarning!
When adding engine oil, always use a funnel
to avoid spilling oil on any hot parts such
as the catalytic converter or exhaust
system.
If this should happen, however, the engine
must be thoroughly cleaned before you
continue your trip. The engine oil could
otherwise ignite.

The filler cap is located in the engine
compartment on the passenger side.XUnscrew filler cap 0046 from the filler
neck.XAdd engine oil as required.
Do not add more than 0.53 US qt (0.5 l)
engine oil at a time.XWait one minute until the engine oil has
run into the oil pan.XCheck the engine oil level once more.XAdd engine oil once more if necessary.
Be careful not to spill any oil when adding
to avoid environmental damage caused by
oil entering the ground and water.
! Excess engine oil must be siphoned or
drained off. It could cause damage to the
engine or emission control system not
covered by the smart Limited Warranty.
XScrew filler cap 0046 back on the filler
neck.XClose the engine compartment cover
( Y page 107).
Front compartment
Service flap
Remove the service flap to check the
coolant level, windshield washer reservoir
level, and brake fluid level.
Insert the service flap on the front of the
vehicle so that it does not get damaged or
dirty.
GWarning!
Always turn the key to starter switch
position 0 and remove the key from the
starter switch before opening the service
flap.
If the windshield wipers should
inadvertently be switched on, you could be
seriously injured by the wiper washer
drive, which is located just below the
service flap.
GWarning!
Make sure the service flap is locked while
driving. Otherwise, the service flap could
become detached and pose a hazard to you
or others.
GWarning!
To help prevent personal injury, stay clear
of moving parts when the service flap is
open.
The radiator fan may continue to run for
approximately 30 seconds or may even
restart after the engine has been turned
off. Stay clear of fan blades.
! Check the fill levels at regular
intervals.
! Carefully remove ice, snow, and any
other deposits from the air intake
grilles above the service flap to ensure
air intake at all times.
XPark the vehicle on level ground.XTurn off the engine.XEngage the parking brake.110Front compartment>> Operation.

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
