Drive to the nearest authorized electric
drive smart center, to have the damaged
tire replaced.
X Contact an authorized electric drive
smart center as soon as possible to
obtain a new filler hose and a new tire
sealant container.
X Bring used tire sealant materials to an
authorized electric drive smart center
for proper disposal.

WARNING
After changing a tire, contact an author-
ized electric drive smart center to make
sure the bolts holding the wheel to the car
are tight enough. Otherwise, the wheels
could come off. Each bolt should be tight-
ened to a torque of 81 lb‑ft (110 Nm). Sealing a tire (Version 2)
X Take the tire repair kit from the
passenger footwell (Y page 160).X
Take electrical plug 0087and filler hose
0084 from the bottom of the electric air
pump housing.
X Engage the yellow plug of filler hose 0084
in the opening in yellow closure cap 0083.X
With the O-ring seals towards the elec-
tric air pump housing, insert yellow clo-
sure cap 0083into fixture 0044.
X Push tire sealant container 0043into fix-
ture 0044until both hooks of yellow closure
cap 0083engage. X
Unscrew the valve cap from tire valve
006B of the damaged tire.
X Screw the end of filler hose 0084onto tire
valve 006B.
X Insert electrical plug 0087into the aux-
iliary power outlet ( Ypage 110).
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 ONon electric air pump switch 0085.
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.
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 inter-
ruption. Otherwise it may overheat. 192

To increase the tire inflation pres-
sure: Switch on the electric air pump.
R To decrease the tire inflation pres-
sure: Press deflate button 006C. Recheck
the tire inflation pressure with the
electric air pump’s pressure gauge
006D.
X When the tire inflation pressure is cor-
rect, unscrew the end of filler hose 0085
from tire valve 006B.
X Screw the valve cap onto the tire valve. X
To detach tire sealant container 0043from
the electric air pump, press both
latches.
X Pull tire sealant container 0043out of fix-
ture 0044.

X Place the tire repair kit securely in the
vehicle.
! The manufacturer is unable to guaran-
tee that all tire punctures can be
repaired with the tire repair kit, in par-
ticular cuts or perforations larger than
approximately 0.16 in (4 mm) or away from
the tire’s tread. The manufacturer is not
liable for damage sustained through
improper use of the tire repair kit. G
WARNING
Follow recommended tire inflation pres-
sures.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated
tires wear excessively and/or unevenly,
adversely affect handling and energy con-
sumption of the vehicle, and are more
likely to fail from being overheated.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated
tires can adversely affect handling and
ride comfort, wear unevenly, increase
stopping distance, and result in sudden
deflation (blowout) because they are more
likely to become punctured or damaged by
road debris, potholes etc.
Do not overload the tires by exceeding the
specified load limit as indicated on the
Tire and Loading Information placard on
the driver’s door B‑pillar. Overloading the
tires can overheat them, possibly causing
a blowout. Overloading the tires can also
result in handling or steering problems, or
brake failure.

accessories not authorized by smart
could damage the vehicle, which is not
covered by the smart Limited Warranty,
or could compromise the vehicle’s dura-
bility 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).

WARNING
Always have maintenance work on drive sys-
tem and high-voltage system electronics
and components performed by a qualified
specialist, e.g. at an authorized electric
drive smart center. In particular, work rel-
evant to safety or on safety related systems
must be carried out at a qualified special-
ist workshop with expert knowledge of
electric drive vehicles.
! Always have maintenance work on drive
system and high-voltage system elec-
tronics and components, such as control
modules, sensors and connecting cables,
performed by a qualified specialist
workshop with the necessary expert
knowledge of electric drive vehicles and
the tools to carry out the work required,
e.g. at an authorized electric drive
smart center. Otherwise there is a danger
that vehicle components may wear more
rapidly, which may void the vehicle’s

WARNING
During vehicle operation, the boiling
point of the brake fluid is continuously
reduced through the absorption of moisture
from the atmosphere. Under extremely
strenuous operating conditions, this mois-
ture content can lead to the formation of
bubbles in the system, thus reducing the
system’s efficiency.
Therefore, the brake fluid must be replaced
regularly. Refer to your vehicle’s Mainte-
nance Booklet for replacement interval.
Only brake fluid approved by smart is rec-
ommended. Any authorized electric drive
smart center will provide you with addi-
tional information. Windshield/rear window washer system

WARNING
Windshield washer concentrate is highly
flammable. Fire, naked flames and smoking
are prohibited when windshield washer
concentrate is being handled. Coolants
The battery and drive system coolant is a
mixture of water and anticorrosion/anti-
freeze, which provides:
R Corrosion protection
R Freeze protection
R Boiling protection (by increasing the
boiling point)
The cooling system was filled at the factory
with a coolant providing freeze protection
to approximately -35¦ (-37¥) and cor-
rosion protection.
! Add premixed coolant solution only.
Adding water and MB 325.0 Anticorro-
sion/Antifreeze separately from each
other, could cause drive system damage
not covered by the smart Limited War-
ranty.
If the antifreeze mixture is effective to
-35¦ (-37¥), the boiling point of the
coolant in the pressurized cooling system
is reached at approximately 266¦
(130¥ ).
The coolant solution must be used year
round, even in countries which have high
temperatures to provide the necessary cor-
rosion protection and increase boil‑over
protection. Refer to Maintenance/ Service
Booklet for replacement interval.
Coolant system design and coolant used
determine the replacement interval. The
replacement interval published in the
Maintenance booklet is only applicable if
MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze solu-
tion or other smart approved products of
equal specification are used to renew the coolant concentration or bring it back up
to the proper level.
For information on other smart approved
products of equal specification, contact an
authorized electric drive smart center.
To provide important corrosion protec-
tion, the solution must be at least 50% anti-
corrosion/antifreeze (equivalent to freeze
protection to approximately -35¦
[-37¥]).
If you use a solution that is more than 55%
anticorrosion/antifreeze (freeze protec-
tion to approximately -49
¦[(-45 ¥]), the
drive system and battery temperature will
increase due to the lower heat transfer
capability of the solution. Therefore, do
not use more than this amount of anticor-
rosion/antifreeze.
If the coolant level is low, water and
MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze should
be used to bring it up to the proper level
(have cooling system checked for signs of
leakage). Please make sure the mixture is
in accordance with label instructions.
Always use anticorrosion/antifreeze that
has been approved by smart. For informa-
tion contact an authorized electric drive
smart center.
The water in the cooling system must meet
minimum requirements, which are usually
satisfied by normal drinking water.
If you are not sure about the water quality,
consult an authorized electric drive smart
center.
