No recuperation (level 0)
0043
Symbol for no recuperation
When this mode is set, there is no recuper-
ation. When you release the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle rolls on unbraked.
Use this mode in situations when driving
without frequent braking, for example on
highways.
Moderate recuperation (level 1) Moderate recuperation occurs when this
mode is set. When you release the acceler-
ator pedal, the vehicle is slightly braked.
Gained kinetic energy is converted into
electrical energy by the electric motor.
This energy is stored in the high-voltage
battery.
This mode is set as standard when starting
the drive system.
Use this mode in situations of well-bal-
anced relationship between accelerating
and braking, for example on cross-country
rides. High recuperation (level 2) 0043
Symbol for high recuperation
High recuperation occurs when this mode
is set. When you release the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle is deeply braked. Energy
conversion of kinetic energy to electrical
energy is most effective in this mode.
Use this mode in situations in which you
need to brake frequently, for example while
driving stop-and-go in city traffic. Maximum available power
G
WARNING
When the indicator for the maximum avail-
able power is not at its maximal range, the
power output is reduced noticeably. Adapt
your speed and driving accordingly. Oth-
erwise, you could cause an accident. Exer-
cise particular care when passing or accel-
erating. The indicator for the maximum available
power of the drive system contains three
segments
0043. The number of dark segments
indicates power that is currently availa-
ble. Control system

Use a windshield washer concentrate
labeled for summer and water for tem-
peratures above freezing point.
X Use a windshield washer concentrate
labeled for winter and water for temper-
atures below freezing point.
! Always use a windshield washer concen-
trate labeled for winter where tempera-
tures may fall below freezing point.
Failure to do so could result in damage
to the washer system/reservoir.
X Premix the windshield washer fluid in a
suitable container.
Observe mixing ratios depending on the
outside temperature (Y page 218).
X Use the tab to pull cap 0043upwards.
X Refill the windshield washer reservoir.
X Push cap 0043onto the windshield washer
reservoir.
X Remount the service flap and close it
(Y page 123). Brake fluid
G
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 mois-
ture 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 Mainte-
nance Booklet for replacement interval.
The brake fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir may be too low if the brake warn-
ing lamp in the instrument cluster comes
on (Y page 23) 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 123).
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 0043.
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 sig-
nificantly below the minimum mark,
call Roadside Assistance or an author-
ized electric drive smart center.
X Remount the service flap and close it

soft top fabric*. Environmental influen-
ces are not covered by the smart Limited
Warranty.
Frequent washing reduces and/or elimi-
nates the aggressiveness and potency of the
above adverse influences.
More frequent washings are necessary to
deal with unfavorable conditions:
R near the ocean
R in industrial areas (smoke, exhaust
emissions)
R during winter operation
You should check your vehicle from time to
time for stone chipping or other damage.
Any damage should be repaired as soon as
possible to prevent corrosion.
In doing so, do not neglect the underbody
of the vehicle. A prerequisite for a thor-
ough check is a washing of the underbody
followed by a thorough inspection. Dam-
aged areas need to be re-undercoated.
Your vehicle has been treated at the factory
with a wax-base rustproofing in the body
cavities which will last for the lifetime of
the vehicle. Post-production treatment is
neither necessary nor recommended by
smart because of the possibility of incom-
patibility between materials used in the
production process and others applied
later.
We have selected vehicle-care products
and compiled recommendations which are
specially matched to our vehicles and
which always reflect the latest technology.
You can obtain smart approved vehicle-
care products at an authorized electric
drive smart center.
Scratches, corrosive deposits, corrosion
or damage due to negligent or incorrect
care cannot always be removed or repaired
with the vehicle-care products recom-
mended here. In such cases it is best to seek
aid at an authorized electric drive smart
center. The following topics deal with the cleaning
and care of your vehicle and give important
“how-to” information as well as references
to smart approved vehicle-care products. Vehicle care
Contact an authorized electric drive smart
center for recommended and approved care
products.
i Advice on caring for the soft top sys-
tem, see (Y page 157). G
WARNING
After washing the vehicle, the brakes may
still be wet and thus their functionality
impaired. Therefore, when you start off,
brake lightly several times without endan-
gering traffic. 154

About towing
This section offers information on towing
methods for breakdown situations and
emergency towing. Recommended towing method - Break-
down situation
! To prevent damage during transport, do
not tie down the vehicle by its chassis or
suspension parts — use only wheel straps
to position and hold down the vehicle.
Improper tie down on a flatbed carrier
truck or trailer can damage suspension
parts and body panels.
smart recommends that the vehicle be
transported with all wheels off the ground
using a flatbed carrier truck or appropri-
ate wheel lift/dolly equipment.
Always have your vehicle transported:
R when the 0075warning lamp for the high-
voltage system lights up in the instru-
ment cluster
R when the Do not tow (away)
Do not tow (away) message
appears in the instrument cluster
R when the multifunction display is inop-
erative R
when one or several of the following
warning lamps light up:
-00ED Drive diagnostics (red)
- 003D 12‑Volt battery
0052 Power steering
R if the brake pedal already starts to pul-
sate just after towing begins
R if you have to transport the vehicle over
long distances
X Switch off the tow‑away protection* and
interior motion sensor* (Y page 50). Emergency towing
When circumstances do not permit the rec-
ommended towing method, the vehicle may
be towed with all wheels on the ground
using a strap or tow bar connected to
another vehicle. Only tow the vehicle as far
as necessary to have the vehicle moved to a
safe location where the recommended tow-
ing method can be employed. G
WARNING
If circumstances require towing the vehi-
cle with all wheels on the ground, always tow
with a tow bar if:
R the drive system will not run
R there is a malfunction in the brake sys-
tem
R there is a malfunction in the power sup-
ply or in the vehicle’s electrical system Towing
