Ready to Charge The vehicle is prepared for the high‑voltage battery to be
charged. It may take 30 seconds for the charging process to
begin.
Malfunction Despite the charging cable being correctly inserted in the
vehicle power socket, the high‑voltage battery does not
charge. There is a malfunction in the on-board charger.
X
Contact an authorized electric drive smart center. No Charge The voltage on the vehicle power socket is too low.

Check
Tire Pressure The tire inflation pressure in at least one tire is
significantly below the reference value.
X
Carefully bring the vehicle to a halt, avoiding abrupt
steering and braking maneuvers.
X Check and adjust tire inflation pressure as required
(Y page 124).
X If necessary, change the wheel (Y page 188).G
WARNING
Each tire should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the Tire and Loading Information placard. If
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 adde dsafety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
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 reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s
handlin gand stopping ability. Pleas enote that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire 158

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

WARNING
The display message Danger: Ice is not designed as an ice-warning device and is therefore
unsuitable for that purpose.
Indicated temperatures just above the freezing point do not guarantee that the road surface
is free of ice. The road may still be icy, especially in wooded areas or on bridges. Your

X Insert electrical plug 0029into the
auxiliary power outlet (Y page 106).
X Insert the key in the starter switch and
turn it to position 1.
i The vehicle’s 12‑volt battery is drained
by use of the electric air pump. You
should therefore keep the drive system
running while inflating the tire. X
Press Ion electric air pump switch 0018.
The electric air pump is switched on and
inflates the tire.
i First, the sealant is pumped into the
tire. The pressure may briefly increase
to a high value. This is normal and not an
indication of a malfunction. Do not
switch off the electric air pump.
X Let the electric air pump inflate the tire
for a maximum of ten minutes.
Pressure gauge 0003must display at least
180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 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
180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 psi) is not attained,
turn off the electric air pump by
pressing 0on electric air pump switch

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.

valve 001D.
X Inflate the tire again. G
WARNING
If a tire inflation pressure of
180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 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

About towing
This section offers information on towing
methods for breakdown situations and
emergency towing. Recommended towing method -
Breakdown situation
! To prevent damage during transport, do
not tie down the vehicle by its chassis or
suspension parts — use only wheel straps
to position and hold down the vehicle.
Improper tie down on a flatbed carrier
truck or trailer can damage suspension
parts and body panels.
smart recommends that the vehicle be
transported with all wheels off the ground
using a flatbed carrier truck or
appropriate wheel lift/dolly equipment.
Always have your vehicle transported:
R when the 0002warning lamp for the high-
voltage system lights up in the
instrument cluster
R when the Do not tow (away) message
appears in the instrument cluster
R when the multifunction display is
inoperative R
when one or several of the following
warning lamps light up:
-0001 Drive diagnostics (red)
- 0004 12‑Volt battery
0002 Power steering
R if the brake pedal already starts to
pulsate just after towing begins
R if you have to transport the vehicle over
long distances
X Switch off the tow‑away protection* and
interior motion sensor* (Y page 47). Emergency towing
When circumstances do not permit the
recommended towing method, the vehicle
may be towed with all wheels on the ground
using a strap or tow bar connected to
another vehicle. Only tow the vehicle as far
as necessary to have the vehicle moved to a
safe location where the recommended
towing method can be employed. 196
