Occupant safety
Introduction
The smart vehicle is equipped with seat
belts and dual stage air bags to protect you
in a crash. However, children can be killed
or seriously injured by an inflating air
bag. Indeed, there is a stronger risk of
serious death or bodily injury when an air
bag deploys on a child positioned in a
rear-facing child seat in the passenger
seat. Because this vehicle has only two
front seats and no backseat, it is limited
as are other two-seat vehicles, in the
extent to which it may restrain children
traveling in the passenger front seat. Many
states have laws against placing children
of certain ages in the front seat of a
vehicle that has both front and back seats.
Those laws make exceptions to permit
children to be restrained in the front seat
of two seat vehicles. Special instructions
and warnings are provided below about
when and if you may restrain a child in the
passenger seat of the smart vehicle. Under
certain circumstances, it is appropriate
for the passenger air bag not to operate
when a child is restrained in a car seat in
the passenger seat, and this vehicle is
equipped with technology to accomplish
this. Please pay very close attention to the
instructions and warnings below,
particularly as they relate to children.
In this section you will learn the most
important facts about the restraint system
components of the vehicle.
The restraint systems are:
R Seat belts ( Y page 31)
R Child restraints ( Y page 41)
Additional protection potential is
provided by:
R
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
with
- Air bags ( Y page 33)
- Air bag control unit (with crash
sensors)
- Emergency Tensioning Devices and
seat belt force limiters ( Y page 33)
R Air bag system components with
- Passenger front air bag off indicator
lamp ( Y page 40)
- Passenger seat with
Occupant
Classification System (OCS)
( Y page 37)
Although independent systems, their
protective functions work in conjunction
with each other.
i For information on infants and
children traveling with you in the
vehicle and restraint systems for infants
and children, see “Children in the
vehicle” ( Y page 41).
The SRS system conducts a self-test when
the ignition is switched on and in regular
intervals while the engine is running. This
facilitates detection of malfunctions. The
SRS indicator lamp 0081 in the instrument
cluster comes on when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after
approximately four seconds.
The SRS components are in operational
readiness if the SRS indicator lamp 0081
is not lit when the engine is running.
A malfunction in the system has been
detected if the SRS indicator lamp 0081
R fails to go out after approximately 4
seconds after the ignition was switched
on
R does not come on at all
R comes on after the engine was started or
while driving

Driver front air bag/passenger front air
bag
The front air bags are designed to reduce
the potential of injury in certain frontal
impacts.
Driver front air bag and passenger front
air bag are deployed
R at the start of an accident with high
vehicle deceleration in the longitudinal
direction
R independently of other air bags in the
vehicle being deployed
R never in the event of a rollover, unless
high vehicle deceleration in the
longitudinal direction is detected
i The front air bags in this vehicle have
been designed to inflate in two stages.
This allows the air bag to have different
rates of inflation that are based on the
rate of relevant vehicle deceleration
and a fastened or unfastened seat belt as
assessed by the air bag control unit.
On the passenger side, the front air bag
deployment is additionally influenced
by the passenger’s weight category as
identified by the Occupant
Classification System (OCS)
( Y page 37).
The lighter the passenger side occupant,
the higher the vehicle deceleration rate
required for the second stage inflation
of the air bag.
The air bags will not deploy in impacts
which do not exceed the system’s
deployment thresholds. In such instances,
the seat belts are designed to protect you.
The passenger air bag will only be
deployed if
R the system, based on OCS weight sensor
readings, senses that the passenger seat
is occupied and the 007F 007B
indicator lamp is not lit ( Y page 40)
R the impact exceeds a preset deployment
threshold
The driver front air bag is located in the
steering wheel housing, the passenger
front air bag above the glove box.0046Driver front air bag0047Passenger front air bag
Occupant Classification System
The
Occupant Classification System (OCS)
automatically turns the passenger front air
bag on or off based on the classified
occupant weight category determined by
weight sensor readings from the passenger
seat.
i The system does also deactivate the
head-thorax air bag, the seat Emergency
Tensioning Devices, and the seat belt
force limiters, based on the classified
occupant weight category determined by
weight sensor readings from the
passenger seat.
Occupants must sit properly belted in a
position that is as upright as possible with
their back against the seat backrest and
feet on the floor to be correctly classified.
If the occupant’s weight is transferred to
another object in the vehicle (e.g. by
leaning on armrests), the OCS may not be
able to properly approximate the
occupant’s weight category.
Occupant safety37>> Safety.451_AKB; 3; 22, en-USd2ureepe,Version: 2.11.8.12009-07-27T09:36:34+02:00 - Seite 37Z

iIf the seat, including the trim cover and
cushion, needs to be serviced in any way,
take the vehicle to an authorized smart
center. Only seat accessories approved
by smart may be used.
Both driver and the passenger should
always use the 007F 007B indicator
lamp as an indication of whether or not
the passenger is properly positioned
( Y page 40).GWarning!
If the 007F 007B indicator lamp
illuminates when an adult or someone
larger than a small individual is in the
passenger seat, have the passenger re-
position himself or herself in the seat
until the 007F 007B indicator lamp
goes out.
In the event of a collision, the air bag
control unit will not allow passenger front
air bag deployment when the OCS has
classified the passenger seat occupant as
being up to or less than the weight of a
typical 12‑month‑old child in a standard
child restraint, or if the passenger seat is
sensed as being empty.
When the OCS senses that the passenger seat
occupant is classified as being up to or
less than the weight of a typical
12‑month‑old child in a standard child
restraint, the 007F 007B indicator
lamp will illuminate when the ignition is
switched on and remain illuminated,
indicating that the passenger front air bag
is deactivated.
When the OCS senses that the passenger seat
is classified as being empty, the
007F 007B indicator lamp will
illuminate and remains illuminated.
When the OCS senses that the passenger seat
occupant is classified as being heavier
than the weight of a typical 12‑month‑old
child seated in a standard child restraint
or as being a small individual (such as a
young teenager or a small adult), the
007F 007B indicator lamp will
illuminate for approximately 4 seconds
when the ignition is switched on and then,
depending on occupant weight sensor
readings from the seat, remains
illuminated or goes out.
When the 007F 007B indicator lamp is
illuminated, the passenger front air bag is
deactivated.
When the 007F 007B indicator lamp is
out and the passenger seat is occupied by
an adult or someone larger than a small
individual, the passenger front air bag is
activated.
When the OCS senses that the passenger seat
occupant is classified as an adult or
someone larger than a small individual, the
007F 007B indicator lamp will
illuminate for approximately 4 seconds
when the ignition is switched on and then
goes out, indicating that the passenger
front air bag is activated.
If the 007F 007B indicator lamp is
illuminated, the passenger front air bag is
deactivated and will not be deployed.
If the 007F 007B indicator lamp is not
illuminated, the passenger front air bag is
activated and will be deployed
R in the event of certain frontal impacts
R if impact exceeds a preset deployment
threshold
R independently of the head-thorax air
bags
If the passenger front air bag is deployed,
the rate of inflation will be influenced by

This can fluctuate greatly as a
consequence of local conditions
(reflective or absorbing objects) and
interference emitted by other radio
transmission systems. Similarly, the
operating range fluctuates in line with
the direction from which the remote
