Let the fun begin!
Take a moment to familiarize yourself with
your smart fortwo electric drive coupé or
cabriolet and read through the Operator’s
Manual before driving. This will ensure
you get more fun out of your vehicle - and
avoid danger to yourself and others.
This Operator’s Manual contains very
important information about how to safely
and effectively operate the vehicle. It is
important to note that this is a unique
vehicle. It is obviously smaller than most
vehicles on the road and, for this reason, it
can provide both unique experiences and
special responsibilities. It is extremely
important that you read this entire Manual
and that you familiarize yourself with how
the vehicle works. Some of the features may be different from the features on other
compact passenger vehicles. Should you
have any questions about the vehicle and
how to safely operate its features, please
use common sense and contact smart dealer representatives, who are available to help you.

Daimler, distributed in the United States
by Mercedes-Benz USA LLC, and in Canada
by Mercedes-Benz Canada, and sold and

tric drive smart centers.

teristics, we strongly recommend that you

tatives at:

Although we cannot prevent you from serv-
icing the vehicle at facilities other than
smart authorized facilities, this is not
advisable.
Optional extras are identified with an
asterisk*. The equipment in your vehicle may vary depending on the model, version
and availability. smart is constantly
bringing its vehicles up to the very latest
state of the art and reserves the right to
modify them in form, equipment and engi-
neering.

this manual is important to your decision
to purchase the vehicle, we recommend that
you personally check the vehicle to ensure
that this feature has been installed before buying the vehicle.
The Operator’s Manual and Scheduled Main-
tenance Guide/Warranty Booklet (USA only)
or Service/Warranty Booklet (Canada only)
belong to the vehicle. You should always
keep these documents in the vehicle and
