WARNING
Driving with the brake warning lamp illuminated can result in an accident. Have your brake
system checked immediately if the brake warning lamp stays on.
Do not add brake fluid before checking the brake system.
! If you find that the brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir has fallen to the minimum
mark or below, have the brake system checked for brake pad thickness and leaks
immediately. Contact an authorized electric drive smart center immediately. Do not
add brake fluid as this will not solve the problem.

your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the Tire and Loading
Information placard, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those
tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressur emonitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires
is significantly underinflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Underinflation also increases energy consumption, reduces tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute
for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if underinflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the
low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects amalfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately 1 minute and then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction
exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of
incompatible replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one
or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires
and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly. What to do if ...

Notes
The remot econtrol’s transmitter battery is
almost spent when the turn signals flash
rapidly nine times in a row when locking
the vehicle.
i If you do not replace the transmitter
battery, after about 100 more times you
will no longer be able to lock or unlock
the vehicle using the remote control.
X Replace the transmitter battery.
or
X Have the transmitter battery replaced at
an authorized electric drive smart
center. G
WARNING
Batteries contain poisonous and corrosive
substances. Therefore keep the batteries
out of reach of children.
If a battery is swallowed, seek medical help
immediately. Batteries contain materials that can harm
the environment if disposed of improperly.
Recycling of batteries is the preferred
method of disposal. Many states/provinces
require sellers of batteries to accept old
batteries for recycling.
Replacing battery
Replacement battery: CR 2016 button cell
! Replace the remote control’s
transmitter battery every two years at
the latest. Otherwise there is a danger of
leakage. The remote control could be
damaged. X

The pressure gauge must display at least
200 kpa (2.0 bar, 29 psi).
! Do not operate the electric air pump
longer than ten minutes without
interruption. Otherwise it may overheat.
You may operate the electrical air pump
again after it has cooled off.
X If a tire inflation pressure of at least
200 kpa (2.0 bar, 29 psi) is not attained,
turn off the electric air pump by
pressing OFFon electric air pump
switch 002A.
X Unscrew the end of filler hose 002Afrom
tire valve 0018.
X After clearing the area around the
vehicle of people and obstacles, drive
vehicle back or forth very slowly
approximately 30 ft (10 m).
This serves to better distribute the tire
sealant material inside the tire.
X Screw the end of filler hose 002Aonto tire
valve 0018.
X Inflate the tire again. G
WARNING
If a tire inflation pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar, 29 psi) is not attained, the
tire is too severely damaged for the tire
sealant to provide a reliable tire repair.
In this case, the tire sealant cannot
properly seal the tire.
Do not drive the vehicle.
Contact the nearest authorized electric
drive smart center for assistance or call
Roadside Assistance.
X After attaining a tire inflation pressure
of at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar, 29 psi), press
OFF on electric air pump switch 002A.

tire valve 0018. X
Place the tire repair kit securely in the
vehicle.
X Drive off immediately.
The tire sealant will distribute itself
evenly inside the tire. G
WARNING
Do not exceed vehicle speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h). A tire sealant repair is not
designed to operate at higher speeds.
The sticker must be attached on the
instrument cluster where it will be easily
seen by the driver.
Vehicle handling characteristics of a tire
sealant repaired tire may change. Adapt
your driving accordingly.
X After driving for about 1.8 miles (3 km)
or ten minutes, stop and exit the vehicle
taking all of the appropriate safety
precautions.
X Take the tire repair kit from the vehicle.
X Screw the end of filler hose 002Aonto tire
valve 0018. X
Check the tire inflation pressure using
pressure gauge 001A. G
WARNING
If tire inflation pressure has fallen below
130 kPa (1.3 bar, 19 psi) do not continue to
drive the vehicle.

overload leading to a fire, and/or cause
damage to electrical components and/or
systems. Contact an authorized electric
drive smart center if you encounter any
electrical problems.
! A blown fuse must be replaced by an
appropriate spare fuse (recognizable by
its color or the fuse rating given on the
fuse) of the amperage recommended in
the fuse chart. Any smart center will be
glad to advise you on this subject. 198
