Passenger compartment
GWarning!
Always fasten items being carried as
securely as possible.
In an accident, during hard braking or
sudden maneuvers, loose items thrown
around inside the vehicle may injure
vehicle occupants.
The cargo compartment is the preferred
place to carry objects.
Control and operation of radio
transmitters
Radio and telephone
GWarning!
Please do not forget that your primary
responsibility is to drive the vehicle
safely. Only operate the radio or
telephone 16
if road, weather and traffic
conditions permit.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet
(approximately 14 m) every second.
Telephones and two-way radios
GWarning!
Never operate radio transmitters equipped
with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e.
without being connected to an external
antenna) from inside the vehicle while the
engine is running. Doing so could lead to a
malfunction of the vehicle’s electronic
system, possibly resulting in an accident
and/or serious personal injury.
Radio transmitters, such as a mobile phone
or a citizens band unit should only be used
inside the vehicle if they are connected to
an antenna that is installed on the outside
of the vehicle.
Refer to the radio transmitter operation
instructions regarding use of an external
antenna.
Emission control
Certain engine systems serve to keep the
toxic components of the exhaust gases
within permissible legal limits.
These systems, of course, will function
properly only when maintained strictly
according to factory specifications.
Any adjustments to the engine should
therefore be carried out only by qualified
smart center authorized technicians.
Engine adjustments should not be altered
in any way. Moreover, the specified service
jobs must be carried out regularly
according to smart servicing
requirements. For details refer to the
Maintenance Booklet.
GWarning!
Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazardous to
your health. All exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can
cause unconsciousness and lead to death.
Do not run the engine in confined areas
(such as a garage) which are not properly
ventilated. If you think that exhaust gas
fumes are entering the vehicle while
driving, have the cause determined and
corrected immediately. If you must drive
under these conditions, drive only with at
least one window fully open at all times.
16 Observe all legal requirements.152Driving instructions>> Operation.

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.

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.
