X
Screw the end of filler hose 0085onto tire
valve 006F.
X Insert electrical plug 0084into the aux-
iliary power outlet (Y page 110).
X Insert the key in the starter switch and
turn it to position 1.
i The vehicle’s 12‑volt battery is drained
by use of the electric air pump. You
should therefore keep the drive system
running while inflating the tire. X
Press Ion electric air pump switch 006B.
The electric air pump is switched on and
inflates the tire.
i First, the sealant is pumped into the
tire. The pressure may briefly increase
to a high value. This is normal and not an
indication of a malfunction. Do not
switch off the electric air pump.
X Let the electric air pump inflate the tire
for a maximum of ten minutes.
Pressure gauge 0044must display at least
180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 psi). !
Do not operate the electric air pump
longer than ten minutes without inter-
ruption. Otherwise it may overheat.
You may operate the electrical air pump
again after it has cooled off.
X If a tire inflation pressure of at least
180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 psi) is not attained,
turn off the electric air pump by press-
ing 0on electric air pump switch 006B.
X Unscrew the end of filler hose 0085from
tire valve 006F.
X After clearing the area around the vehi-
cle of people and obstacles, drive vehi-
cle back or forth very slowly approx-
imately 30 ft (10 m).
This serves to better distribute the tire
sealant material inside the tire.
X Screw the end of filler hose 0085onto tire
valve 006F.
X Inflate the tire again. G
WARNING
If a tire inflation pressure of
180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 psi) is not attained, the
tire is too severely damaged for the tire
sealant to provide a reliable tire repair.
In this case, the tire sealant cannot prop-
erly seal the tire.
Do not drive the vehicle.
Contact the nearest authorized electric
drive smart center for assistance or call
Roadside Assistance.
X After attaining a tire inflation pressure
of at least 180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 psi), press
0 on electric air pump switch 006B.
The electric air pump is switched off.
X Turn the key in the starter switch to
position 0.
X Unscrew the end of filler hose 0085from
tire valve 006F.
X Plug filler hose with the stopper.

X
Place the tire repair kit securely in the
vehicle.
X Drive off immediately.
The tire sealant will distribute itself
evenly inside the tire. G
WARNING
Do not exceed vehicle speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h). A tire sealant repair is not
designed to operate at higher speeds.
The sticker must be attached on the instru-
ment cluster where it will be easily seen by
the driver.
Vehicle handling characteristics of a tire
sealant repaired tire may change. Adapt
your driving accordingly.
X After driving for about 1.8 miles (3 km)
or ten minutes, stop and exit the vehicle
taking all of the appropriate safety pre-
cautions.
X Take the tire repair kit from the vehicle.
X Screw the end of filler hose 0085onto tire
valve 006F.
X Check the tire inflation pressure using
pressure gauge 0044. G
WARNING
If tire inflation pressure has fallen below
130 kPa (1.3 bar, 19 psi) do not continue to
drive the vehicle.
Park your vehicle safely away from the
roadway and contact the nearest authorized
electric drive smart center or call Road-
side Assistance.
Have the damaged tire replaced.
X If the tire inflation pressure is at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar, 19 psi), inflate or deflate
the tire to correct tire inflation pres-
sure (see Tire and Loading Information
placard located on the driver’s door
B‑pillar). R
To increase the tire inflation pres-
sure: Switch on the electric air pump.
R To decrease the tire inflation pres-
sure: Open vent screw 0087. Recheck the
tire inflation pressure with the elec-
tric air pump’s pressure gauge.
X After checking the tire inflation pres-
sure, unscrew the end of filler hose 0085
from tire valve 006F.
X Screw the valve cap onto the tire valve.
X Plug filler hose with the stopper.
X Place the tire repair kit securely in the
vehicle.
! The manufacturer is unable to guaran-
tee that all tire punctures can be
repaired with the tire repair kit, in par-
ticular cuts or perforations larger than
approximately 0.16 in (4 mm) or away from
the tire’s tread. The manufacturer is not
liable for damage sustained through
improper use of the tire repair kit. G
WARNING
Follow recommended tire inflation pres-
sures.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated
tires wear excessively and/or unevenly,
adversely affect handling and energy con-
sumption of the vehicle, and are more
likely to fail from being overheated.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated
tires can adversely affect handling and
ride comfort, wear unevenly, increase
stopping distance, and result in sudden
deflation (blowout) because they are more
likely to become punctured or damaged by
road debris, potholes etc.
Do not overload the tires by exceeding the
specified load limit as indicated on the
Tire and Loading Information placard on
the driver’s door B‑pillar. Overloading the
tires can overheat them, possibly causing
a blowout. Overloading the tires can also
result in handling or steering problems, or
brake failure. Flat tire

drive smart center. G
WARNING
After changing a tire, contact an author-
ized electric drive smart center to make

Notes on the vehicle’s electrical sys-
tem
The vehicle’s electrical system provides
power for the electric drive and all elec-
trical consumers or components of the
vehicle.
Power is supplied to the vehicle via two
batteries:
R 12-volt battery
R High-voltage battery Notes on the 12‑volt battery
Your vehicle’s 12‑volt battery is located in
the passenger footwell below the footrest
(Y page 199).
The 12 volt battery should always be suffi-
ciently charged in order to achieve its
rated service life. Refer to the Scheduled
Maintenance Guide (USA only) or the
Service booklet (Canada only) for battery
maintenance intervals.
If you use your vehicle mostly for short-
distance trips, you will need to have the
12 volt battery charge checked more fre-
quently.
When replacing the battery, always use bat-
teries approved by smart. For information,
contact an authorized electric drive smart
center. If you do not intend to operate your vehicle
for an extended period of time, consult an
authorized electric drive smart center
about steps you need to observe. G
WARNING
Observe all safety instructions and pre-
cautions when handling automotive batter-
ies. Risk of explosion.
Fire, open flames and
smoking are prohibited
when handling batteries.
Avoid creating sparks. Battery acid is caustic.
Do not allow it to come
into contact with skin,
eyes or clothing.
Wear suitable protective
clothing, especially
gloves, apron and face-
guard. Wear eye protection.
Rinse any acid spills
immediately with clear
water. Contact a physician
if necessary. Keep children away.
Follow the instructions in
this Operator’s Manual. G
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in severe injury or death.
Observe all safety instructions and pre-
cautions when handling automotive batter-
ies.
Never lean over batteries while connect-
ing, you might get injured. Batteries

Rims and tires
Notes
! Only use tires which have been tested
and approved by smart. Tires approved by
smart are developed to provide best pos-
sible performance in conjunction with
the driving safety systems on your vehi-
cle such as the ABS or the ESP ®
.
Using tires other than those approved by
smart may result in damage that is not
covered by the smart Limited Warranty.
! Using tires other than those approved
by smart can have detrimental effects,
such as
R poor handling characteristics
R increased noise
R increased energy consumption
Moreover, tires and rims not approved by
smart may, under load, exhibit dimen-
sional variations and different tire
deformation characteristics that could
cause them to come into contact with the
vehicle body or axle parts. Damage to the
tires or the vehicle may be the result.
i Further information on tires and rims
is available at any authorized electric
drive smart center. A placard with the
recommended tire inflation pressure is
located on the driver’s door B‑pillar.
The tire inflation pressure should be
checked regularly and should only be
adjusted on cold tires. Follow tire man-
ufacturer’s maintenance recommenda-
tion included with vehicle. Mobility
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire repair
kit (Y page 187). In case of a flat tire, it
enables you to drive to the nearest author-
ized electric drive smart center on the
sealed tire. If the tire is damaged too severely for the
tire sealant to provide a reliable tire
repair:

drive smart center.
