WARNING
When operating the heating or air
conditioning with climat econtrol, the air
that enters the passenger compartment
through the air vents can be very hot or very
cold (depending on the set temperature).
This may cause burns or frostbite on
unprotected skin in the immediate area of
the air vents. Always keep sufficient
distance between unprotected parts of the
body and the air vents. If necessary, use the
air distribution control to direct the air
to air vents in the vehicle interior that are
not in the immediate area of unprotected
skin. Air conditioning with climate control

Use only charging cables which have been
approved and recommended for the vehicle.
Do not use:
R extension chords
R cable reels
R multiple sockets
R travel adapters
i When possible, only charge the
high‑voltage battery when the charge
level is below 80 %.
It is recommended to charge the
high‑voltage battery prior to reaching
less than 20% state of charge.
Discharged high‑voltage battery When the high‑voltage battery is
completely discharged, the drive system is
switched off. This protects the battery
from exhaustive discharge.
i By switching the ignition off and on
again, the drive system can be briefly
reactivate donce. This allows you to park
the vehicle safely.
Do not allow your vehicle to remain
stationary for more than 14 days with a
discharged, or nearly discharged,
high‑voltage battery. You can check the
charge level with the charge level gauge
(Y page 79).
High or low outside temperatures The efficiency of the high‑voltage battery
is temperature-dependent and decreases
at high or low temperatures .Additionally,
the electrolytes used can gel at very low
temperatures.
You can check the maximum capacity
available using the indicator in the
multifunction display (Y page 83).Energy consumption and range The available energy of the high‑voltage
battery is reduced by:
R
low outside temperatures
R switching on electrical consumers
At low temperatures and after being parked
for an extended period without charging,
the physical properties of the
high‑voltage battery:
R can cause a significant reductio ninthe
performance of the battery
R can lead to longer charging times
In extreme cases, you will not be able to
start the vehicle. For this reason, always
connect the charging cable or make sure the
battery is completely charged when
parking the vehicle in low outside
temperatures or for an extended period of
time.
Due to its physical properties, the
capacity of a high‑voltage battery
decreases over its lifespan.
Thus, the following are reduced:
R the maximum attainable range of the
vehicle
R the maximum performance output
(acceleration) of the vehicle
You can actively contribute to the
reduction of the vehicle's energy
consumption by:
R driving conservatively
R maintaining the vehicle regularly
R decreasing the use of electrical
consumers
Notes on battery care Avoid storing and transporting the vehicle
at high temperatures for extended periods
of time (e. g. container transport).
When out of use for longer periods of time,
connect the vehicle to a voltage supply.
If the vehicle is not connected to
avoltage
supply, it must remain within a High-voltage battery

"Vehicle Homepage". For this reason, make
sure than no unauthorized persons have
access to your personal area.
After selling the vehicle, you are required
to delete the vehicle from your personal
area on the "Vehicle Homepage". You must
also destroy the vehicle verification code
(VVC) documents.
If you have bought a pre-owned vehicle, it
may be possible that the previous owner
still has access to the "Vehicle Homepage".
For this reason, have a new vehicle
verification code (VVC) reissued to you at
an authorized electric drive smart center
after purchase. With this new code you can
set up the access to your vehicle as
described in the "Personal area setup"
section. Here you can also deactivate the
previous owner's access ,should it still be
active.
Calling up the functions of the "Vehicle
Homepage" If the vehicle is registered in your
personal area of the "Vehicle Homepage",
you can, for example, access the following
functions:
R call up the current charge level
R program the departure time
R activate the "Air conditioning before
start" function
When the vehicle is being charged, you can
call up the estimated charging time and the
attainable range. Both results are
estimated values because, for example,
they are influenced by the following
factors:
R outside temperature
R active electrical consumers, e.g. air
conditioning, lights
R personal driving style
R traffic conditions
Plan for a sufficient reserve accordingly. Connecting the vehicle to the Internet
via powerline If you wish to use the "Vehicle Homepage"
at home, your vehicle must be able to access
the Internet
.This is possible via your DSL
router, for example. This connection is
established by means of the inserted
charging cable using powerline
technology.
The vehicle supports powerline
communicatio naccording to the "HomePlug
AV" standard. Data is transmitted via phase
L1 and the neutral conductor of the power
line.
In order for the vehicle to access the
Internet, you require a commercially
available adapter of the "HomePlug AV"
standard. This adapter must also have an
encryption button so that it can be
configured to communicate with the
vehicle. Connect the adapter to the power
supply as well as your Internet connection.
If the adapter is connected to different
phase than L1, a phase coupler must be
additionally installed. Only in this way
can stable communication be guaranteed.
For questions, consult a qualified
electrician.
i If you already have a powerline network
installed, the vehicle can be integrated
into it.
To establish a connection between the
vehicle and a powerline adapter, carry out
the following:
X Connect the vehicle to a power socket or
a wallbox.
The right 0004indicator lamp on the
vehicle socket must flash green.
X Insert the powerline adapter into a
neighboring power socket. Observe that
the vehicle and the adapter are
connected via phase L1.
X Switch on the ignition.
X Call up the Charge current menu on the
control system (Y page 88). High-voltage battery
111>> Operation. Z

If you leave the charging cable in the power
supply socket after charging, the set value
is used for the next charging process.
If you remove the charging cable from the
power supply socket, the value is reset to
the default value for the next charging
process.
i You can also set the maximum charge
current via the control system
(Y page 88).
If differing values are set on the
charging cable and the control system,
the high‑voltage battery is charged
using the lowest value.

The payment procedure and charging
processes may differ between public
charging stations, depending on the
provider. Please make yourself familiar
with the proper procedures of the public
charging station at which you are
intending to charge your vehicle. 114
High-voltage battery>> Operation.

Charging station without charging
communication
You must activate charging stations
without charging communication before
the charging process. This can be done with
an RFID card or a telephone call, for
example. Observe the provider's
instructions at the charging station.
Charging station with charging
communication („Plug&Charge“) You do not have to activate charging
stations with charging communication
before the charging process. This is done
by the vehicle. This function is called
"Plug & Charge". Information is exchanged
between the vehicle and the charging
station via the charging cable for
activation.
This is for:
R mutual authorization of the vehicle and
the charging station
R verification of contract data
R automatic billing of the energy costs
Electronic certificates are used here for
secure exchange of data.
If the verification of contract data is
successful, the charging process is
initiated.
i A preliminary version of the
ISO/IEC 15118 standard is used for
communication between the vehicle and
the charging station. If it is necessary
to update your vehicle, consult an
authorized electric drive smart center.
In order to use "Plug & Charge", you have to
configure the functions of your vehicle on
the "Vehicle Homepage" (Y page 110). For
this you require a "Plug & Charge"
certificate which you receive from your
power company after concluding a suitable
contract. Consult an authorized electric
drive smart center if you have problems with the configuration or have no access to
the Internet.
The charging station offers information on
the availability of electricity and costs.
This information is processed by the
vehicle and is used for an optimum
charging of the high‑voltage battery
(Y
page 117). The energy costs are
automatically calculated after the
charging process is complete.
With your existing electricity contract,
you and others who have access to your
vehicle can charge the costs to your
electricity bill. For this reason, cancel
your existing electricity contract for this
vehicle before you sell it. Delete your
"Plug & Charge" certificate by all means.
i You can delete the certificate from the
vehicle's data on the "Vehicle
Homepage". Pleas econsult an authorized
electric drive smart center if you do not
have access to the Internet.
If the charging station allows the
connected vehicle access to the Internet,
you can call up and change information
pertaining to the vehicle on the "Vehicle
Homepage" (Y page 110).

keep in mind that a considerably higher
degree of effort is necessary to brake and
steer the vehicle. Adapt your driving
accordingly.
Brakes
G
WARNING
Make sure not to endanger any other road
users when carrying out braking
maneuvers.
Refer to the description of the hydraulic
brake assistant (Y page 46).
! Because the ESP ®
operates
automatically, the ignition must be
switched off when the parking brake is
being tested on a brake test
dynamometer. Active braking action
through the ESP ®
may otherwise seriously
damage the brake system which is not
covered by the smart Limited Warranty.
Brake pad wear or a leak in the brake system
may be the reason for low brake fluid level
in the brake fluid reservoir.
The brake fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir may be too low if the brake
warning lamp in the instrument cluster
comes on (Y page 21) although the parking
brake is released.
Have the brake system inspected
immediately. Contact an authorized
electric drive smart center.
All checks and service work on the brake
system should be carried out by qualified
technicians only. Contact an authorized
electric drive smart center.
Only install brake pads and use brake fluid
recommended by smart.
Inclines When driving down long and steep grades,
do not depress the brake pedal permanently. Depress it in intervals
instead to reduce the vehicle speed. G
WARNING
Resting your foot on the brake pedal will
cause excessive and premature wear of the
brake pads.
It can also result in the brakes
overheating, thereby significantly
reducing their effectiveness and your
ability to stop the vehicle in sufficient
time to avoid an accident.
High and low stresses After hard braking
,it is advisabl eto drive
on for some time, rather than immediately
park, so that the air stream will cool down
the brakes faster.
If your brake system is normally only
subjected to moderate loads, you should
occasionally test the effectiveness of the
brakes by applying above-normal braking
pressure at higher speeds. This will also
enhance the grip of the brake pads. G
WARNING
Make sure not to endanger any other road
users when carrying out these braking
maneuvers.
Wet road surface G
WARNING
After driving in heavy rain for some time
without applying the brakes or through
water deep enough to wet brake components,
the first braking action may be somewhat
reduced and increased pedal pressure may
be necessary to obtain expected braking
effect. Maintain a safe distance from
vehicles in front.
To help prevent brake disc corrosion after
driving on wet road surfaces (particularly
salted roads), it is advisable to brake the
vehicle with considerable force prior to 142

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 operatin gproperly. 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. Display messages Possible causes/consequences and
