Product information
We recommend using Genuine smart Parts as
well as conversion parts and accessories
explicitly approved by smart for your
vehicle model.
We have tested these parts to determine
their reliability, safety and special
suitability for smart vehicles.
We are unable to make an assessment for
other products and therefore cannot be
held responsible for them, even if in
individual cases an official approval or
authorization by governmental or other
agencies should exist. Use of such parts
and accessories could adversely affect the
safety, performance or reliability of your
vehicle. We strongly recommend that you
not use them.
Genuine smart Parts as well as conversion
parts and accessories approved by us are
available at your authorized smart center
where you will receive comprehensive
information about use and installation of
appropriate parts.
Operator’s Manual
This Operator’s Manual contains a great
deal of useful information. We urge you to
read it carefully and familiarize yourself
with the vehicle before driving.
For your own safety and longer service life
of the vehicle, we urge you to follow the
instructions and warnings contained in
this manual. Ignoring them could result in
damage to the vehicle or personal injury to
you or others. Vehicle damage caused by
failure to follow instructions is not
covered by the smart Limited Warranty.
Your vehicle may have some or all of the
equipment described in this manual.
Therefore, you may find explanations for
optional equipment not installed in your
vehicle. If you have any questions about the
operation of any equipment, your
authorized smart center will be glad to
demonstrate the proper procedures.
We continuously strive to improve our
product, and ask for your understanding
that we reserve the right to make changes
in design and equipment. Therefore,
information, illustrations and
descriptions in this Operator’s Manual
might differ from your vehicle.
Optional equipment is also described in
this manual, including operating
instructions wherever necessary. Since
they are special-order items, the
descriptions and illustrations herein may
vary slightly from the actual equipment of
your vehicle.
If there are any equipment details that are
not shown or described in this Operator’s
Manual, your authorized smart center will
be glad to inform you of correct care and
operating procedures.
The Operator’s Manual and Maintenance/
Warranty Booklet (USA only) or Service/

RDo not lean on the armrests or lift
yourself from the seat by using the handle
over the door as this may cause the OCS to
be unable to correctly approximate the
occupant weight category.
R Only have the seat repaired or replaced
by an authorized smart center.
R Read and observe all warnings in this
chapter.
Self-test Occupant Classification
System
After turning the key in the starter switch
to position 1 or 2, the
007F
007B
indicator lamp located in the center
console illuminates. If an adult occupant
is properly sitting on the passenger seat
and the system senses the occupant as being
an adult, the 007F 007B indicator
lamp will illuminate and go out after
approximately 4 seconds.
If the seat is not occupied and the system
senses the passenger seat as being empty,
the 007F 007B indicator lamp will
illuminate and not go out.
GWarning!
If the 007F 007B indicator lamp does
not illuminate immediately after starting
the engine, the system is not functioning.
You must contact an authorized smart center
before seating any child on the passenger
seat.
More information can be found in the
“Practical hints” section ( Y page 175).
GWarning!
Never place anything between seat cushion
and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it
reduces the effectiveness of the Occupant
Classification System. The bottom of the
child seat must make full contact with the
passenger seat cushion. An incorrectly
mounted child seat could cause injuries to
the child in case of an accident, instead of
increasing protection for the child.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
installation of child seats.
Children in the vehicle
If an infant or child is traveling with you
in the vehicle:
XSecure the child using an infant or child
restraint appropriate to the age and size
of the child.XMake sure the infant or child is properly
secured at all times while the vehicle is
in motion.GWarning!
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a child
restraint system. The children could
R injure themselves on parts of the vehicle
R be seriously or fatally injured through
excessive exposure to extreme heat or
cold
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight. The child restraint
system’s metal parts, for example, could
become very hot, and the child could be
burned on these parts.
If children open a door, they could
R injure other persons
R get out of the vehicle and injure
themselves or be injured by following
traffic
Do not carry heavy or hard objects in the
passenger compartment unless they are
firmly secured in place.
For more information, please refer to the
“Loading and storing section”.

Driving safety systems
Introduction
GWarning!
The following factors increase the risk of
accidents:
R Excessive speed, especially in turns
R Wet and slippery road surfaces
R Following another vehicle too closely
The driving safety systems described in
this section cannot reduce these risks or
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle.
Always adapt your driving style to the
prevailing road and weather and traffic
conditions and keep a safe distance to
other road users and objects on the street.
i In winter operation, the maximum
effectiveness of the ABS, the hydraulic
brake assistant, and the ESP ®
is only
achieved with winter tires ( Y page 145)
or snow chains* as required.
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
GWarning!
Do not pump the brake pedal. Use firm,
steady brake pedal pressure instead.
Pumping the brake pedal defeats the
purpose of the ABS and significantly
reduces braking effectiveness.
The Antilock Brake System (ABS) regulates
the brake pressure so that the wheels do not
lock during braking. This allows you to
maintain the ability to steer your vehicle.
On slippery road surfaces, the ABS will
respond even to light brake pressure.
The ABS indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster ( Y page 22) comes on when you
switch on the ignition. It goes out when the
engine is running.
Braking
At the instant one of the wheels is about to
lock up, a slight pulsation can be felt in
the brake pedal, indicating that the ABS is
regulating the brake pressure.
XKeep firm and steady pressure on the
brake pedal while experiencing the
pulsation.
Continuous, steady brake pedal pressure
yields the advantages provided by the ABS,
namely braking power and the ability to
steer the vehicle.
A pulsating brake pedal can be an
indication of hazardous road conditions
and functions as a reminder to take extra
care while driving.
Emergency brake maneuver
XKeep continuous full pressure on the
brake pedal.GWarning!
When the ABS is malfunctioning, the
hydraulic brake assistant and the ESP ®
are
also switched off.
When the ABS is malfunctioning, the wheels
may lock during hard braking, reducing
steering capability and extending the
braking distance.
