Genuine smart Parts are subjected to
stringent quality inspections. Each part
has been specifically developed,
manufactured or selected for and adapted
to smart vehicles.
Therefore, Genuine smart Parts should be
installed.
! The
use of non-genuine smart parts and
accessories not authorized by smart
could damage the vehicle, which is not
covered by the smart Limited Warranty,
or could compromise the vehicle’s
durability or safety. Warranty coverage
Your vehicle is covered under the terms of
the warranties printed in the smart USA
Warranty

booklet (USA only) or the Warranty
booklet (Canada only).

or repair any defective parts originally
installed on the vehicle in accordance with
the terms of the following warranties:
R smart USA Limited Warranty (USA only)
R New Vehicle Limited Warranty (Canada
only)
R Emission System Warranty
R Emission Performance Warranty
R Corrosion Warranty
R California, Connecticut, Maine,
Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, and Vermont Emission
Control System Warranty
R smartmove Assistance (Canada only)
R State Warranty Enforcement Laws (Lemon

G
WARNING
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.
If you install telephones or radio
transmitters in the vehicle you must have 212

such retrofits approved. smart approves
the installation of telephones and radio
devices if the work is done professionally
and the device is connected to a low-
reflection exterior antenna.
The
transmitting power of the telephone or
radio must not exceed the following
maximum values. Frequency range
(band) Maximum
transmitting
power (Watts)
Short wave
(<50 MHz) 100
2 m wavelength 50
0.7 m wavelength 35
0.25 m wavelength 10

WARNING
Radio transmitters can interfere with the
vehicle’s electronic system, endanger the
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. On-board Diagnostics Socket (OBD)

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:
