Remove respective cover 0002or0003 using
a suitable object to reveal the threaded
hole for the towing eye bolt.
X Screw towing eye bolt in clockwise to its
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.
X Connect the strap or tow bar to the towing
eye.
X Switch on the ignition.
X Depress the brake pedal and keep it
pressed.
X Move the gear selector lever to neutral
position N.
X Release the brake pedal.
X Switch on the hazard warning flasher.
X Release the parking brake.
Wait for at least 2 minutes after the vehicle
has been towed until start working on the
vehicle. Fuses
The electrical fuses in your vehicle serve
to switch off malfunctioning power
circuits.
If a fuse is blown, the components and
systems secured by that fuse will stop
operating. G
WARNING
Only use fuses approved by smart with the
specified amperage for the system in
question 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. 198

WARNING
Always have maintenance work on drive
system and high-voltage system
electronics and components performed by a
qualified specialist, e.g. at an authorized
electric drive smart center .Inparticular,
work relevant to safety or on safety related
systems must be carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop with expert knowledge
of electric drive vehicles.
! Always have maintenance work on drive
system and high-voltage system
electronics 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 warranty. 206

Retrofitting electrica
land electronic
devices
Electrical and electronic devices can
endanger vehicle operating safety.
! Damage or consequential damage due to
retrofitting a device in the vehicle is
not covered by smart’s warranty.
If you install telephones or radio
transmitters in the vehicle you must have
such retrofits approved. smart approves
the installation of telephones and radio
devices if the work is done professionally
and the device is connected to a low-
reflection exterior antenna.
The transmitting power of the telephone or
radio must not exceed the following
maximum values. Frequency range

G
WARNING
Radio transmitters can interfere with the
vehicle’s electronic system, endanger the
operating safety of the vehicle and thus
your own safety, if
R there is no external antenna
R the external antenna is not low-
reflection
R the external antenna is incorrectly
installed
Excessive electromagnetic radiation can
damage your health and that of others.
Using an external antenna addresses and
considers the concerns currently being
discussed in scientific circles about the health hazards possibly posed by
electromagnetic fields.
Because of this, have the external antenna
installed exclusively at a qualified
specialist workshop which has the
necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the work required, e.g. at a
smart center. In particular, work relevant
to safety or on safety-related systems must
be carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.

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
moisture 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
Maintenance Booklet for replacement
interval.
Only brake fluid approved by smart is
recommended. Any authorized electric
drive smart center will provide you with
additional information. Windshield/rear window washer system
During all seasons:
X Use a windshield washer concentrate
labeled for summer and water for
temperatures above freezing point.
X Use a windshield washer concentrate
labeled for winter and water for
temperatures below freezing point.

suitable container depending on the
outside temperature and in accordance

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/
antifreeze, 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 approximatel y-35¦ (-37¥) and
corrosion protection.
! Add premixed coolant solution only.
Adding water and MB 325.0
Anticorrosion/Antifreeze separately
from each other, could cause drive system
damage not covered by the smart Limited
Warranty.
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
corrosion 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
solution 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
protection, the solution must be at least
50% anticorrosion/antifreeze (equivalent
to freeze protection to approximately
-35¦
[-37¥]).
If you use a solution that is more than 55%
anticorrosion/antifreeze (freeze
protection to approximately -49 ¦
[(-45¥]), the drive system and battery
temperature will increas edue to the lower
heat transfer capability of the solution.
Therefore, do not use more than this amount
of anticorrosion/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
information 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.
