collision. If you slide under it, the belt
would apply force at the abdomen or neck,
causing serious or even fatal injuries. The
seat backrest and seat belt provide the best
restraint when the wearer is in a position
that is as upright as possible and the belt
is properly positioned on the body.
G
WARNING
Never let more people ride in the vehicle
than there are seat belts available. Make
sure everyone riding in the vehicle is
correctly restrained with a separate seat
belt. Never use a seat belt for more than one
person at a time. G
WARNING
Seat belts of a vehicle involved in an
accident must be inspected by smart. Only
then is it possible to determine whether
the seat belts were damaged or stressed in
the accident. Damaged or stressed seat
belts may not properly protect you in a
subsequent accident.
Only use seat belts which have been
approved by smart.
Do not make any modifications to the seat
belts. This can lead to unintended
activation of the Emergency Tensioning
Devices (ETDs) or to their failure to
activate when necessary.
Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this may
severely weaken them. In a crash, they may
not be able to provide adequate protection.
Have all work carried out only by qualified
technicians. Contact an authorized
electric drive smart center. G
WARNING
USE SEAT BELTS PROPERLY
R Seat belts can only work when used
properly. Never wear seat belts in any
other way than as described in this section, as that could result in serious
injuries in case of an accident.
R Each occupant should wear their seat belt
at all times, because seat belts help
reduce the likelihood of and potential
severity of injuries in accidents,
including rollovers. The integrated
restraint system includes SRS (driver
front air bag, passenger front air bag,
head-thorax air bags) and Emergency
Tensioning Devices (ETDs) with seat belt
force limiters.
The system is designed to enhance the
protection provided by secured seat
belts in certain frontal and side
impacts.
R Never wear the shoulder belt under your
arm, against your neck or off your
shoulder. Doing so may cause your body to
move too far forward in a frontal crash,
which would increase the chance of head
and neck injuries. The seat belt would
also apply too much force to the ribs or
abdomen, which could severely injure
internal organs such as your liver or
spleen.
R Never wear seat belts over rigid or
breakable objects in or on your clothing,
such as eyeglasses, pens, keys, etc., as
these might cause injuries.
R Position the lap belt as low as possible
on your hips and not across the abdomen.
If the lap seat belt is positioned across
your abdomen, it could cause serious
injuries in a crash.
R Never use a seat belt for more than one
person at a time. Do not fasten a seat belt
around a person and another person or
other objects at the same time.
R Seat belts should not be worn twisted. In
a crash, you would not have the full width
of the seat belt to manage impact forces.
The twisted seat belt against your body
could cause injuries.
R Pregnant women should also always use a
lap-shoulder belt. The lap belt portion 30
Occupant safety>> Safety.

Contact an authorized electric drive
smart center.
R Sit properly belted in a position that is
as upright as possible with your back
against the seat backrest.
R Do not lean on the armrests or lift
yoursel ffrom the seat by using the handle
over the door as this may cause the OCS to
be unable to correctly approximate the
occupant weight category.
R Only have the seat repaired or replaced
by an authorized electric drive smart
center.
R Read and observe all warnings in this
chapter.
Self-test Occupant Classification
System After turning the key in the starter switch
to position 1or 2, the 00090007
indicator lamp located in the center
console illuminates. If an adult occupant
is properly sitting on the passenger seat
and the system senses the occupant as being
an adult, the 00090007indicator
lamp will illuminate and go out after
approximately 4 seconds.
If the seat is not occupied and the system
senses the passenger seat as being empty,
the 00090007indicator lamp will
illuminate and not go out. G
WARNING
If the 00090007indicator lamp does
not illuminate immediately after
switching on the drive system, the system
is not functioning. You must contact an
authorized electric drive smart center
before seating any child on the passenger
seat.
More information can be found in the
“Practical hints” section (Y page 168). G
WARNING
Never place anything between seat cushion
and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it
reduces the effectiveness of the Occupant
Classification System. The bottom of the
child seat must make full contact with the
passenger seat cushion. An incorrectly
mounted child seat could cause injuries to
the child in case of an accident, instead of
increasing protection for the child.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
installation of child seats. Children in the vehicle
If an infant or child is traveling with you
in the vehicle:
X Secure the child using an infant or child
restraint appropriate to the age and size
of the child.
X Make sure the infant or child is properly
secured at all times while the vehicle is
in motion. G
WARNING
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in achild
restraint system. The children could
R injure themselves on parts of the vehicle
R be seriously or fatally injured through
excessive exposure to extreme heat or
cold
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight. The child restraint
system’s metal parts, for example, could
become very hot, and the child could be
burned on these parts.
If children open a door, they could
R injure other persons
R get out of the vehicle and injure
themselves or be injured by following
traffic 40
Occupant safety>> Safety.

Top tether
Top tether permits an additional
connection between a child restraint
system and the passenger seat. Proper
usage of the top tether, in accordance with
instructions provided by the child
restraint manufacturer, can further reduce
the risk of injuries.
The top tether anchorage is located on the
floor of the cargo compartment. The top
tether guide for the top tether strap is
located above, on the head restraint. X
Thread top tether strap 0028through top
tether guide 0002down the back of
passenger seat 0003to top tether
anchorage 002B.
X Attach top tether hook 002Ato top tether
anchorage 002Bon the floor of the cargo
compartment.
i If you are using divider plus*, the
hooks of the top tether and the divider
plus* are attached to the same anchorage. X
Install the child restraint system and
tighten top tether strap 0028according to
the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions. G
WARNING
After installing top tether straps, make
sure the seat backrests are in an upright
position and are properly locked. Push and
pull on the seat backrests to ensure they are
properly secured in the locked position. If
a seat backrest is not properly locked, the
seat backrest could fold. The child seat
would no longer be properly supported or
positioned to provide its intended
benefit. That could cause serious or even
fatal injuries. Panic alarm

could jeopardize the user’s safety or the
safety of others.
! Because the ESP ®
operates
automatically, the ignition must be
switched off when the parking brake is
being tested on a brake test
dynamometer. Active braking action
through the ESP ®
may otherwis eseriously
damage the brake system which is not
covered by the smart Limited Warranty.
i The ESP ®
will only function properly if
you use wheels of the recommended tire
size (Y page 210). Hydraulic brake assistant
The hydraulic brake assistant operates in
emergency situations. If you apply the
brakes very quickly, the hydraulic brake
assistant automatically provides full
brake boost, thereby potentially reducing
the braking distance.
X Apply continuous full braking pressure
until the emergency braking situation is
over.
The ABS will prevent the wheels from
locking.
When you release the brake pedal, the
brakes function again as normal. The
hydraulic brake assistant is then
deactivated. G
WARNING
When the hydraulic brake assistant is
malfunctioning, the brake system is still
functioning normally, but without the
additional brake boost that would normally
be provided during an emergency braking
maneuver. Therefore, the braking distance
may increase. G
WARNING
The hydraulic brake assistant cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking efficiency beyond that afforded by
the condition of the vehicle brakes and
tires or the traction afforded. The
hydraulic brake assistant cannot prevent
accidents, including those resulting from
excessive speed in turns, following
another vehicle too closely, or
hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and
skillful driver can prevent accidents. The
capabilities of a hydraulic brake assistant
equipped vehicle must never be exploited
in a reckless or dangerous manner which
could jeopardize the user’s safety or the
safety of others. Activating the hazard warning flasher
after an emergency braking maneuver
If you bring the vehicle to a complete stop
by strongly braking at a speed of more than
43 mph (70 km/h), the hazard warning
flasher comes on automatically as soon as
the vehicle is at a standstill. The hazard
warning flasher will remain on until it is
switched off using the hazard warning
flasher switch (Y page 66) or until the
speed of the vehicle has exceeded 6mph
(10 km/h). Anti-theft systems
Electronic immobilizer
The electronic immobilizer prevents
unauthorized persons from starting your
vehicle.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
key with you and lock the vehicle. The drive
system can be switched on by anyone with a
key that is left inside the vehicle.
X Activating: Remove the key from the
starter switch.
X Deactivating: Insert the key in the
starter switch.
