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.

Parking brake The parking brake serves to secure the
vehicle against rolling away when it is
stationary or parked.
G
WARNING
Engaging the parking brake while the
vehicle is in motion can cause the rear
wheels to lock up. You could lose control of
the vehicle and cause an accident. In
addition, the vehicle’s brake lights do not
light up when the parking brake is engaged. Driving and parking
75>> Controls. Z

If a brake circuit has failed (Y
page 160),
you must depress brake pedal 0002further
down to achieve the same effect and the
braking distance is increased.

recuperation)*
G
WARNING
The operating condition of the high-
voltage battery (e.g. not yet at normal
operating temperature or fully charged)
influences the braking effect of the
electric motor.
In overrun or braking mode, the motor's
braking effect may therefore be reduced or
may not be present at all.
As a result of the reduced engine braking
effect, you may cause an accident and
injure yourself or others. Transmission
77>> Controls.
* optional Z

Compensate for the reduced engine braking
effect by pressing the brake pedal
accordingly, as required.
Using the steering wheel paddle shifters,
you can increase or decrease the
recuperation in overrun phases.
Recuperation means that energy is
recovered while driving - the electric
motor functions as a generator. The kinetic
energy of the vehicle is converted into
electric power and stored in the high-
voltage battery. The more the recuperation
increases, the more the vehicle will be
decelerated.
In overrun phases, there are three levels of
recuperation:
R no recuperation (level 0, coasting)
R mid-level recuperation (level 1)
R high-level recuperation (level 2)
The amount of recuperation in overrun
mode is displayed in the power gauge
(Y page 79).
When you switch on the ignition, level 1 is
automatically preset. X
Decrease recuperation: Pull left
steering wheel paddle shifter 0002.
X Increase recuperation: Pull right
steering wheel paddle shifter 0003.Use the different levels 0 to 2 for
conditions as described below: Level 0 Driving without frequent
breaking. No sharp bends on
the road ahead.
Maximum kinetic energy
remains for the vehicle.
Level 1 Normal driving, standard
setting.
Level 2 Sporty driving.
The break pedal has to be
depressed less often, as the
deceleration due to
recuperation is higher than
in level 1.
The energy efficiency is
substantially higher than if
the vehicle is decelerated by
depressing the brake pedal.
At levels
1and 2the vehicle can be
steplessly decelerated by depressing the
brake pedal.
i Under certain circumstances, in
overrun phases recuperation does not
work as described above. This may be e. g
the case if the high-voltage battery is
already fully charged or has not reached
operating temperature. Driving tips
Driving on uphill grades G
WARNING
The hill-start assist system is not
designed to function as a parking brake and
does not prevent the vehicle from moving
when parked on an incline.
Always engage the parking brake in
addition to shifting to park position P.78
Transmission>> Controls.

!
When the hill‑start assist system stops
braking the vehicle, it can roll
backwards.
If you open the driver’s door, the
hill‑start assist system is deactivated
and a warning signal sounds.
Your vehicle has a hill‑start assist system.
On uphill grades the hill‑start assist
system maintains the pressure in the brake
system for approximately one second after
you have released the brake pedal.
Therefore, you can start off smoothly
without the vehicle moving immediately
after releasing the brake pedal.
X Release the brake pedal.
X Apply sufficient pressure to the
accelerator pedal to drive off.
On uphill grades with higher inclination,
the hill-start assist system will release
the pressure in the brake system after
approximately two seconds. A warning
signal sounds and the transmission
position indicator shows a flashing N in
order to warn you of the vehicle rolling
backwards.
X Press the brake pedal.
X Release the brake pedal.
X Apply sufficient pressure to the
accelerator pedal to drive off.
i The hill‑start assist system is inactive

(Y page 117). Brake fluid
G
WARNING
During vehicle operation, the boiling
point of the brake fluid is continuously
reduced through the absorptio nofmoisture
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.
The brake fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir may be too low if the brake
warning lamp in the instrument cluster
comes on (Y page 21) although the parking
brake is released. !
If you find that the brake fluid in the
brake fluid reservoir has fallen to the
minimum mark or below, have the brake
system checked for brake pad thickness
and leaks immediately. Contact an
authorized electric drive smart center
immediately. Do not add brake fluid as
this will not solve the problem.
X Remove the service flap and insert it on
the front of the vehicle (Y page 117).
The brake fluid reservoir is located in the
front compartment on the passenger side. Checking brake fluid level
X
Perform a visual check of the brake fluid
reservoir 0002.
The brake fluid level is correct when it
is between the minimum mark and the
maximum mark.
R If the brake fluid level has fallen
slightly below the minimum mark,
drive to an authorized electric drive
smart center.
R If the brake fluid level has fallen
significantly below the minimum
mark, call Roadside Assistance or an
authorized electric drive smart
center.

For safety reasons, smart recommends
that you only use snow chains that have
been approved by smart.
Information on this is available from any
smart center.
Please refer to the separate operating
instructions for detailed information on
mounting the snow chains.
Snow chains should only be driven on
snow-covered roads at speeds not to
exceed 30 mph (50 km/h). Remove chains
as soon as possible when drivin gonroads
without snow.
Please observe the following guidelines
when using snow chains:
R Using snow chains is not permissible
with all wheel/tire combinations
(Y page 210).
R Use snow chains in pairs and on rear
wheels only. Follow the manufacturer’s
mounting instructions.
R Use of snow chains may be prohibited
depending on location. Always check
local and state laws before mounting
snow chains. G
WARNING
When mounting or removing snow chains,
always park your vehicle on level ground,
engage the parking brake, and switch off
the drive system. The vehicle could
otherwise move and injure yourself or other
road users. G
WARNING
When mounting and removing snow chains,
ensure that you and your vehicle are at a
safe distance from moving traffic. Not
doing so could endanger other road users or
even lead to you being injured by the
vehicles behind you. G
WARNING
The vehicle’s handling changes when
driving with snow chains on any kind of road surface. This means that you should
always adapt your driving style to suit the
current road and weather conditions.
! If snow chains that do not meet
requirements are mounted, they may
scrape against the body or axle
components when the vehicle is in
motion. This could result in damage to
the rim/tire or vehicle. Driving instructions
Drinking and driving
G
WARNING
Do not drink alcohol or take drugs and drive
or allow anyone to drive who has been
drinking alcohol or taking drugs. Even a
small amount of alcohol or drugs can affect
your reflexes, perceptions and judgment.
The possibility of a serious or even fatal
accident are greatly increased when you
drink or take drugs and drive. Pedals
G
WARNING
Make sure absolutely no objects are
obstructing the pedals’ range of motion.
Keep the driver’s footwell clear of all
obstacles. If there are any floormats* or
carpets in the footwell, make sure the
pedals still have sufficient clearance.
During sudden acceleration or braking
maneuvers, the objects could get caught
between or beneath the pedals and restrict
your ability to brake or accelerate. This
could lead to accidents and/or injury. Power assistance
