R The operating range of your vehicle is
limited due to the availability of public
charging stations.
R Public charging stations may not be
available at all in some areas.
In light of the foregoing, proper care must
be exercised in the planning of a long
distance trip with the vehicle. smart is not
responsible for the availability of public
charging stations. Roadside Assistance
The smartmove Assistance (Canada) and
smart 1 service (USA) Program provides
factory trained technical help in the event
of a breakdown. Calls to the toll-free
Roadside Assistance number
1-800-762-7887 (in the USA)
1-877-627-8004 (in Canada)
will be answered by smart Customer
Assistance Representatives 24 hours a day,
365 days a year.
Roadside Assistance will be provided in
accordance with standard program
guidelines which include providing
service to the vehicle up to a reasonable
distance from a paved roadway. We will
make every effort to assist in a breakdown
situation, however, the accessibility of
your vehicle will be determined by our
authorized electric drive smart center
technician or the tow service provider on
a case-by-case basis and may be a factor in
our ability to respond.
Additional charges may be applicable for
a breakdown location determined not to be
a reasonably accessibl eroadside location
as determined by our authorized
technician and tow service provider.
For additional information refer to the
smart Roadside Assistance Program
brochure (USA) or the Warranty Booklet (Canada) in your vehicle literature
portfolio. Change of address or ownership
In the USA: If you change your address, be
sure to send in the “Information Change
Card” found in the Warranty Information
Booklet.
In Canada: If you change your address, be
sure to send in the “Change of Address
Notice” found in the Warranty Booklet, or
simply call the Customer Service at
1-800-387-0100.
Maintaining your current address
information with smart will enable us to
contact you should important new
information about the vehicle, such as
recalls, become available.
If you sell your smart, please leave all
literature with the vehicle to make it
available to the next operator.
In the USA: If you bought this vehicle used,
be sure to send in the “Information Change
Card” found in the Warranty Information
Booklet.
In Canada: If you bought this vehicle used,
be sure to send in the “Notice of Pre‑Owned
Vehicle Purchase” found in the Warranty
Booklet, or call the Customer Service at
1-800-387-0100. Operating your vehicle outside the USA
or Canada
If you plan to operate your vehicle in
foreign countries, please be aware that:
R Service facilities or replacement parts
may not be readily available.
R The AC power sockets in some countries,
especially overseas, require different
plugs on the charging cable.
R Charging stations may not be available. 14
>> Introduction.

For safety reasons, smart recommends all
work to be carried out by a smart service
partner which is qualified for smart
electric drive.
Particular care should be taken involving
all areas which are in the vicinity of high
voltage parts, e.g. parts in the engine
compartment. Orange-colored cables and
their respective sockets carry high voltage
and must not be damaged.
Serious injury or death can result if you:
R
remove the covers of components which
are labeled with a warning sticker.
R handle components of the high-voltage
vehicle electrical system.
R open the housing.
R disconnect plug connectors.
R come into contact with components or
orange-colored cables of the high-
voltage vehicle electrical system
following an accident.
R come into contact with orange-colored
cables or their damage dplug connectors.
R come into contact with damaged
components of the high-voltage vehicle
electrical system.
Have the damaged orange-colored cables or
their damaged plug connectors replaced
immediately at an authorized electric
drive smart center. The service partner
must have the required knowledge and tools
to carry out the necessary work. For safety
reasons, smart recommends using a smart
center which is qualified for smart
electric drive. Particularly for safety-
relevant work and work on safety-relevant
vehicle systems, servicing by an
authorized electric drive smart center is
essential.
Do not remove the high-voltage battery of
the high-voltage vehicle electrical
system. Have the required work carried out
by an authorized electric drive smart
center. smart recommends that you use an
authorized electric drive smart center. G
WARNING
The high‑voltage battery of the drive
system is located under the vehicle’s
underbody. When the pressure inside the
high‑voltage battery exceeds a certain
value, for example in case of avehicle fire,
inflammable gas will escape via a duct. The
inflammable gas escapes to an area under
the vehicle. This prevents the high‑voltage
battery from exploding.
Stay away from this area of the vehicle. Automatic switch-off of the high-
voltage system
The high-voltage system will be
automatically switched off, in the event:
R of an accident in which the restraint
systems are triggered
R of a short circuit in the high-voltage
system is detected
R that an electric connection in the high-
voltage system has been disconnected
This helps to avoid that you get in contact
with high-voltage. High-voltage battery

Introduction
G
WARNING
The following factors increase the risk of
accidents:
R Excessive speed, especially in turns
R Wet and slippery road surfaces
R Following another vehicle too closely
The driving safety systems described in
this section cannot reduce these risks or
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle.
Always adapt your driving style to the
prevailing road and weather and traffic conditions and keep a safe distance to
other road users and objects on the street.
i In winter operation, the maximum
effectiveness of the ABS, the hydraulic
brake assistant, and the ESP ®
is only
achieved with winter tires (Y page 140)
or snow chains* as required. Antilock Brake System (ABS)
G
WARNING
Do not pump the brake pedal. Use firm,
steady brake pedal pressure instead.
Pumping the brake pedal defeats the
purpose of the ABS and significantly
reduces braking effectiveness.
The Antilock BrakeSystem (ABS) regulates
the brake pressure so that the wheels do not
lock during braking. This allows you to
maintain the ability to steer your vehicle.
On slippery road surfaces, the ABS will
respond even to light brake pressure.
The ABS indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster (Y page 22) comes on when you
switch on the ignition. It goes out when the
drive system is active.
Braking At the instant one of the wheels is about to
lock up, a slight pulsation can be felt in
the brake pedal, indicating that the ABS is
regulating the brake pressure.
X
Keep firm and steady pressure on the
brake pedal while experiencing the
pulsation.
Continuous, steady brake pedal pressure
yields the advantages provided by the ABS,
namely braking power and the ability to
steer the vehicle.
A pulsating brake pedal can be an
indication of hazardous road conditions
and functions as a reminder to take extra
care while driving. 44
