Rims and tires
Notes
! Only use tires which have been tested
and
approved by smart. Tires approved by
smart are developed to provide best
possible performance in conjunction
with the driving safety systems on your
vehicle such as the ABS or the ESP ®
.
Using tires other than those approved by
smart may result in damage that is not
covered by the smart Limited Warranty.
! Using tires other than those approved
by smart can have detrimental effects,
such as
R poor handling characteristics
R increased noise
R increased fuel consumption
Moreover, tires and rims not approved by
smart may, under load, exhibit
dimensional variations and different
tire deformation characteristics that
could cause them to come into contact
with the vehicle body or axle parts.
Damage to the tires or the vehicle may be
the result.
i Further information on tires and rims
is available at any authorized smart
center. A placard with the recommended
tire inflation pressure is located on the
driver’s door B‑pillar.
The tire inflation pressure should be
checked regularly and should only be
adjusted on cold tires. Follow tire
manufacturer’s maintenance
recommendation included with vehicle. Mobility
Your
vehicle is equipped with a tire repair
kit (Y page 186). In case of a flat tire, it
enables you to drive to the nearest
authorized smart center on the sealed tire. If the tire is damaged too severely for the
tire sealant to provide a reliable tire
repair:

Engine oils are specifically tested for
their suitability in our engines and
durability for our service intervals.
Therefore, only use engine oils and oil
filters required for vehicles with the
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. Please follow Maintenance System
recommendations for scheduled oil
changes. Failure to do so will result in
engine or emission control system
damage
not covered by the smart Limited
Warranty.
Viscosity grades for engine oils Using the chart below, select oil viscosity
according to the lowest air temperature
expected before the next oil change.
