Rims and tires
Notes
! Only use tires which have been tested
and approved by smart. Tires approved by
smart are developed to provide best pos-
sible performance in conjunction with
the driving safety systems on your vehi-
cle 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 energy consumption
Moreover, tires and rims not approved by
smart may, under load, exhibit dimen-
sional 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 electric
drive 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 man-
ufacturer’s maintenance recommenda-
tion included with vehicle. Mobility
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire repair
kit (Y page 187). In case of a flat tire, it
enables you to drive to the nearest author-
ized electric drive smart center on the
sealed tire. If the tire is damaged too severely for the
tire sealant to provide a reliable tire
repair:

WARNING
Comply with all valid regulations with
respect to handling, storing and disposing
of service fluids. Otherwise you could
endanger persons or the environment.
Keep service fluids out of the reach of chil-
dren.
For health reasons, you should prevent
service fluids from coming into direct
contact with your skin or clothing.
If a service fluid is swallowed, contact a
physician immediately.

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
During all seasons:
X Use a windshield washer concentrate
labeled for summer and water for tem-
peratures above freezing point.
X Use a windshield washer concentrate

atures below freezing point.
X Premix the windshield washer fluid in a
suitable container depending on the out-
side temperature and in accordance with

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.

Anticorrosion/antifreeze
Your vehicle contains a number of alumi-
num parts. The use of aluminum components
in motor vehicle drive systems necessi-
tates that anticorrosion/antifreeze cool-
ant used in such drive systems be specifi-
cally formulated to protect the aluminum
parts.
Failure to use such anticorrosion/anti-
freeze coolant will result in a signifi-
cantly shortened service life.
Therefore, the following product is
strongly recommended for use in your vehi-
cle: MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze
agent.
Before the start of the winter season (or
once a year in hot southern regions), you
should have the anticorrosion/antifreeze
concentration checked.
The coolant is also regularly checked each
time you bring your vehicle to an author-
ized electric drive smart center for
service.
