You may operate the electrical air pump
again after it has cooled off.
X If a tire inflation pressure of at least
200 kpa (2.0 bar, 29 psi) is not attained,
turn off the electric air pump by press-
ing OFF on electric air pump switch ?.
X Unscrew the end of filler hose ?from
tire valve C.
X After clearing the area around the vehi-
cle of people and obstacles, drive vehi-
cle back or forth very slowly approx-
imately 30 ft (10 m).
This serves to better distribute the tire
sealant material inside the tire.
X Screw the end of filler hose ?onto tire
valve C.
X Inflate the tire again. G
WARNING
If a tire inflation pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar, 29 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 prop-
erly seal the tire.
Do not drive the vehicle.
Contact the nearest authorized electric
drive smart center for assistance or call
Roadside Assistance.
X After attaining a tire inflation pressure
of at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar, 29 psi), press OFF on electric air pump switch ?.
The electric air pump is switched off.
X Turn the key in the starter switch to
position 0.
X Unscrew the end of filler hose ?from
tire valve C.
X Place the tire repair kit securely in the
vehicle.
X Drive off immediately.
The tire sealant will distribute itself
evenly inside the tire. G
WARNING
Do not exceed vehicle speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h). A tire sealant repair is not
designed to operate at higher speeds.
The sticker must be attached on the instru- ment cluster where it will be easily seen by
the driver.
Vehicle handling characteristics of a tire
sealant repaired tire may change. Adapt
your driving accordingly.
X After driving for about 1.8 miles (3 km) or
ten minutes, stop and exit the vehicle
taking all of the appropriate safety pre- cautions.
X Take the tire repair kit from the vehicle.
X Screw the end of filler hose ?onto tire
valve C. X
Check the tire inflation pressure using
pressure gauge E. G
WARNING
If tire inflation pressure has fallen below
130 kPa (1.3 bar, 19 psi) do not continue to
drive the vehicle.
Park your vehicle safely away from the
roadway and contact the nearest authorized electric drive smart center or call Road-
side Assistance.
Have the damaged tire replaced.
X If the tire inflation pressure is at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar, 19 psi), inflate or deflate
the tire to correct tire inflation pres-
sure (see Tire and Loading Information Flat tire

Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not
allow this fluid to come in contact with
eyes, skin or clothing. In case it does,
immediately flush affected area with water
and seek medical help if necessary.
A battery will also produce hydrogen gas,
which is flammable and explosive. Keep
flames or sparks away from battery, avoid
improper connection of jumper cables,
smoking, etc. G
WARNING
Do not place any metal objects on a battery.
You could otherwise cause a short circuit
and the battery’s highly flammable chemi-
cals could ignite.
Never allow any metal object to contact both
battery terminals or the positive terminal and the vehicle body at the same time. This
might short circuit the battery and ignite
the highly flammable and explosive hydro-
gen gas generated by the battery, causing
serious personal injury. G
WARNING
Keep flames or sparks away from battery,
avoid improper connection of jumper
cables, smoking, etc. R When disconnecting the battery, always
disconnect the negative terminal first,
followed by positive terminal.
R When connecting the battery, always con-
nect the positive terminal first, fol-
lowed by the negative terminal.
R Do not loosen or disconnect the battery
terminal clips while the drive system is
running or the key is in the starter
switch.
! Never loosen or detach battery terminal
clamps while the drive system is running or the key is in the starter switch. Oth-
erwise, electronic components could be
severely damaged.
Have the battery checked regularly at an
authorized electric drive smart center. Refer to Maintenance Booklet for main-
tenance intervals or contact an author-
ized electric drive smart center for fur-
ther information.
! Never invert the terminal connections! Notes on the high‑voltage battery
Have work on the high-voltage battery per- formed by an authorized electric drive
smart center only. Observe the safety noteson (Y page 16) as well as the notes on the 12-
volt battery (Y page 197). G
WARNING
The electrolyte of the high-voltage bat-
tery, i.e. the battery fluid, is toxic and
caustic. Do not allow this fluid to come in
contact with eyes, skin or clothing, for
example in case of an accident.
In case it does, immediately flush affected area with water and seek medical help
immediately.
The high-voltage battery is located in the
vehicle underbody. Keep this in mind when
jacking up the vehicle. The vehicle has
designated take-up brackets for the jack.
For more information, see (Y page 196).
! Only position the jack on the designa-
ted take-up brackets.
You must not position the jack under the
high-voltage battery. Otherwise, the
high-voltage battery could be damaged. 198

ther gas is being discharged by the bat-
teries.
Only charge the battery in a well ventilated area.
There is a risk of acid burns during the
charging procedure due to the gases which
escape from the battery. Do not lean over
the battery when it is being charged. G
WARNING
Never charge a battery while still installed in the vehicle. Gases may escape during
charging and cause explosions that may
result in paint damage, corrosion or per-
sonal injury.
X Charge battery in accordance with the
instructions of the battery charger man-
ufacturer.
! Only use chargers of a correct and suit-
able voltage.
! Never attempt to recharge a frozen bat-
tery. Have the battery checked at a smart center. The battery housing could be
damaged.
Reinstalling the 12-volt battery X
Reinstall the charged battery. Follow the
previously described steps in reverse
order.
! The battery, its filler caps and the ven-
tilation hose must always be securely
installed when the vehicle is in opera-
tion.

WARNING
Failure to follow these directions will
cause damage to the electronic components, and can lead to a battery explosion and
severe injury or death.
Never lean over batteries while connecting
or jump starting, you might get injured.
Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not
allow this fluid to come in contact with
eyes, skin or clothing. In case it does,
immediately flush affected area with
water, and seek medical help if necessary.
A battery will also produce hydrogen gas,
which is flammable and very explosive.
Keep flames or sparks away from battery,
avoid improper connection of jumper
cables, smoking, etc.
Attempting to jump start a frozen battery
can result in it exploding, causing per-
sonal injury.
Read all instructions before proceeding.
! Do not tow‑start vehicle. It is not pos-
sible to tow-start the vehicle. Attempt-
ing to do so may seriously damage the
drivetrain which would not be covered by the smart Limited Warranty.
If the 12-volt battery is discharged, the
drive system cannot be started, regardless 200

stop and tighten with a suitable object. G
WARNING
For safety reasons, recovery or lashing
down of the vehicle by means of the towing
eye is not allowed. Failure to observe this
could result in the towing eye being ripped out of its mounting and people being
injured.
Towing the vehicle X
Engage the parking brake.

vehicle. Fuses
The electrical fuses in your vehicle serve
to switch off malfunctioning power cir-
cuits.
If a fuse is blown, the components and sys-
tems secured by that fuse will stop operat- ing. G
WARNING
Only use fuses approved by smart with the
specified amperage for the system in ques- tion and do not attempt to repair or bridge
a blown fuse this may cause an overload
leading to a fire, and/or cause damage to
electrical components and/or systems.
Contact an authorized electric drive smart center if you encounter any electrical
problems.
! A blown fuse must be replaced by an
appropriate spare fuse (recognizable by
its color or the fuse rating given on the
fuse) of the amperage recommended in
the fuse chart. Any smart center will be
glad to advise you on this subject.
If a newly inserted fuse blows again, have
the cause determined and rectified at an
authorized electric drive smart center.
Before replacing fuses: R Engage the parking brake.
R Make sure the gear selector lever is in
park position P.
R Turn off all electrical accessories.
R Switch off the drive system.
R Remove the key from the starter switch. Replacing a fuse
