Air pressure
The amount of air inside the tire pressing
outward on each square inch of the tire. Air
pressure is expressed in pounds per square
inch (psi), or kilopascal (kPa) or bars.
Aspect ratio
Dimensional relationship between tire
section height and section width expressed
in percentage.
Bar
Another metric unit for air pressure. There
are 14.5038 pounds per square inch (psi) to
1 bar; there are 100 kilopascals (kPa) to
1 bar.
Bead The tire bead contains steel wires wrapped
by steel cords that hold the tire onto the
rim.
Cold tire inflation pressure
Tire inflation pressure when your vehicle
has been sitting for at least 3 hours or
driven no more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
Curb weight The weight of a motor vehicle with standard
equipment including the maximum
capacity of fuel, oil, and coolant, and, if
so equipped, air conditioning and
additional optional equipment, but
without passengers and cargo.
DOT (Department of Transportation) A tire branding symbol which denotes the
tire meets requirements of the U.S.
Department of Transportation. GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) The GAWR is the maximum permissible axle
weight. The gross vehicle weight on each
axle must never exceed the GAWR for the
front and rear axle indicated on the
certification label located on the driver’s
door B‑pillar.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) The GVW comprises the weight of the
vehicle including fuel, tools, installed
accessories, passengers and cargo. The
GVW must never exceed the GVWR indicated
on the certification label located on the
driver’s door B‑pillar.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) This is the maximum permissible vehicle
weight of the fully loaded vehicle (weight
of the vehicle including all options,
passengers, fuel, and cargo. It is indicated
on certification label located on the
driver’s door B‑pillar.
Kilopascal (kPa)
The metric unit for air pressure. There are
6.9 kPa to 1 psi; another metric unit for air
pressure is bars. There are
100 kilopascals (kPa) to 1 bar.
Maximum load rating
The maximum load in kilograms and pounds
that can be carried by the tire.
Maximum loaded vehicle weight
The sum of curb weight, accessory weight,
total load limit and production options
weight.
Maximum permissible tire inflation
pressure
This number is the greatest amount of air
pressure that should ever be put in the tire.138

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.
X Premix the windshield washer fluid in a
suitable container depending on the
outside temperature and in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions 14

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.
