We caution you not to rely on the presence
of the air bags in order to avoid wearing
your seat belt.
It is important to your safety and that of
your passenger that you replace deployed
air bags and repair any malfunctioning
air bags to make sure the vehicle will
continue to provide supplemental crash
protection for occupants.
Safety guidelines for the seat belt,
Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs)
and air bag G
WARNING
R Damaged seat belts or seat belts that have
been highly stressed in an accident must
be replaced and their anchoring points
must also be checked. Only use seat belts
installed or supplied by an authorized
electric drive smart center.
R Air bags and Emergency Tensioning
Devices (ETDs) contain Perchlorate
material, which may require special
handling and regard for the environment.
Check with your local government’s dis-
posal guidelines. California residents,
see http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/
HazardousWaste/Perchlorate/index.cfm .
R Given the considerable deployment
speed, required inflation volume, and
the textile structure of the air bags,
there is the possibility of abrasions or
other, potentially more serious injuries
resulting from air bag deployment.
R Air bags and Emergency Tensioning
Devices (ETDs) are designed to function
on a one-time-only basis. An air bag or
ETD that has deployed must be replaced.
R Do not pass seat belts over sharp edges.
They could tear.
R Do not make any modification that could
change the effectiveness of the seat
belts.
R No modifications of any kind may be made
to any components or wiring of the SRS. This includes changing or removing any
component or part of the SRS, the instal-
lation of additional trim material,
badges, etc. over the steering wheel hub,
passenger front air bag cover, outboard
sides of the seat backrests, and instal-
lation of additional electrical/elec-
tronic equipment on or near SRS compo-
nents and wiring. Keep area between air
bags and occupants free from objects
(e.g. packages, purses, umbrellas, etc.).
R Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this may
severely weaken them. In a crash they may
not be able to provide adequate protec-
tion.
R Do not hang hangers on the coat hooks or
handles over the door. These items may
turn into projectiles and cause head and
other injuries when the head-thorax air
bag is deployed.
R Air bag system components will be hot
after an air bag has inflated. Do not touch
them.
R Never place your feet on the instrument
panel, dashboard, or on the seat. Always
keep both feet on the floor in front of the
seat.
R In addition, improper repair work on the
SRS creates a risk of rendering the SRS
inoperative or causing unintended air
bag deployment. Work on the SRS must
therefore only be performed by qualified
technicians. Contact an authorized elec-
tric drive smart center.
R For your protection and the protection of
others, when scrapping the air bag unit
or Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs),
our safety instructions must be followed.
These instructions are available from
any authorized electric drive smart
center.
How an air bag operates An air bag is inflated in a matter of mil-
liseconds. If an air bag is triggered, the Occupant safety

Cruise control*
The cruise control maintains the speed you
set for your vehicle automatically. On
downhill grades, the cruise control does
not brake the vehicle via the brake system.
The cruise control can only use the braking
power of the engine. You must apply the
brakes yourself in order to reduce the
vehicle speed. The cruise control will then
be canceled. G
WARNING
The cruise control is a convenience system
designed to assist the driver during vehi-
cle operation. The cruise control cannot
take road, traffic, and weather conditions
into account. The driver is and must always
remain responsible for the vehicle’s speed
and for safe brake operation. Do not use the cruise control
R
if the road, traffic, and weather condi-
tions do not make it advisable to travel

Storage compartments
G
WARNING
To help avoid personal injury during a col-
lision or sudden maneuver, exercise care
when storing objects in the vehicle. Put
luggage or cargo in the cargo compartment
if possible. Do not pile luggage or cargo
higher than the seat backrests.
Keep compartment lids closed. This will
help to prevent stored objects from being
thrown about and injuring vehicle occu-
pants during
R hard braking
R a change of direction
R an accident
Do not store objects under the driver’s seat.
Objects stored under the driver’s seat can
slide forward into driver’s foot well during
braking and get caught between or beneath
the pedals. This could restrict your ability
to brake or accelerate and could lead to
accidents and injury.

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.
Your vehicle is equipped with the Tire and
Loading Information placard located on
the driver’s door B‑pillar (Y page 134).
The tire inflation pressure should be
checked regularly. Only adjust the tire
inflation pressure on cold tires. The tires
can be considered cold if the vehicle has
been parked for at least 3 hours or driven
less than 1 mile (1.6 km). Depending on the
ambient temperature, the driving speed
and the tire load, the tire temperature
changes. When the tire temperature
changes by 18¦ (10¥), the tire inflation
pressure will change by approximately
10 kpa (0.1 bar, 1.5 psi). Keep this in mind
when checking tire inflation pressure on
warm tires and adjust the tire pressure
only if the tire inflation pressure is too
low for the current operating conditions.
If you check the tire inflation pressure
when the tires are warm, the reading will
be higher than the cold reading. This is
normal. Do not let air out to match the
specified cold tire inflation pressure.
Otherwise, the tire will be underinflated.
Follow recommended cold tire inflation
pressures listed on Tire and Loading
Information placard on the driver’s door
B‑pillar.
Keeping the tires properly inflated pro-
vides the best handling, tread life and rid-
ing comfort. In addition to the Tire and Loading Infor-
mation placard on the driver’s door B‑pil-
lar, also consult the tire inflation pres-
sure label (if available) on the inside of
the filler flap for any additional informa-
tion pertaining to special driving situa-
tions. For more information, see “Impor-
tant notes on tire inflation pressure”
(Y
page 129).
i Data shown on Tire and Loading Infor-
mation placard example are for illus-
tration purposes only. Tire data are spe-
cific to each vehicle and may vary from
data shown in the following illustration.
Refer to Tire and Loading Information
placard on vehicle for actual data spe-
cific to your vehicle. The Tire and Loading Information placard
lists the recommended cold tire inflation
pressures
0043for maximum loaded vehicle
weight. The tire inflation pressures listed
apply to the tires installed as original
equipment.
Important notes on tire inflation pres-
sure G
WARNING
If the tire inflation pressure drops repeat-
edly, check the tires for punctures from
foreign objects and/or whether air is leak-
ing from the valves or from around the rim.
Tire temperature and tire inflation pres-
sure are also increased while driving, Tires and wheels

The traction grades, from highest to low-
est, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades rep-
resent the tire’s ability to stop on wet
pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction perform-
ance.
Temperature G
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive
speed, underinflation, or excessive load-
ing, either separately or in combination,
can cause excessive heat build-up and pos-
sible tire failure.
The temperature grades are A (the highest),
B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance
to the generation of heat and its ability to
dissipate heat when tested under control-
led conditions on a specified indoor lab-
oratory test wheel. Sustained high temper-
ature can cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to sudden
tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a
level of performance which all passenger
car tires must meet under the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B
and A represent higher levels of perform-
ance on the laboratory test wheel than the
minimum required by law. Rotating tires
G
WARNING
Do not rotate front and rear wheels as they
have different dimensions, e.g. rim size,
wheel offset etc. Otherwise, the handling
can be affected and you could endanger
yourself and others. Thoroughly clean the mounting face of the
wheels and brake discs, i.e. the inner side
of the wheels/tires each time the wheels/
tires are changed. Check for and ensure
proper tire inflation pressure. G
WARNING
Have the tightening torque checked after
changing a wheel. Wheels could become
loose if not tightened with a torque of
81 lb‑ft (110 Nm).
Only use genuine smart wheel bolts speci-
fied for your vehicle’s rims.
For information on wheel change, see “Flat
tire” (Y page 187). Tire labeling
Besides tire name (sales designation) and
manufacturer name, a number of markings
can be found on a tire.
