Occupant safety
Introduction
The smart vehicle is equipped with seat
belts and dual stage air bags to protect you
in a crash. However, children can be killed
or seriously injured by an inflating air
bag. Indeed, there is a stronger risk of
serious death or bodily injury when an air
bag deploys on a child positioned in a
rear-facing child seat in the passenger
seat. Because this vehicle has only two
front seats and no backseat, it is limited
as are other two-seat vehicles, in the
extent to which it may restrain children
traveling in the passenger front seat. Many
states have laws against placing children
of certain ages in the front seat of a vehi-
cle that has both front and back seats. Those
laws make exceptions to permit children to
be restrained in the front seat of two seat
vehicles. Special instructions and warn-
ings are provided below about when and if
you may restrain a child in the passenger
seat of the smart vehicle. Under certain
circumstances, it is appropriate for the
passenger air bag not to operate when a
child is restrained in a car seat in the
passenger seat, and this vehicle is equip-
ped with technology to accomplish this.
Please pay very close attention to the
instructions and warnings below, particu-
larly as they relate to children.
In this section you will learn the most
important facts about the restraint system
components of the vehicle.
The restraint systems are:
R Seat belts (Y page 31)
R Child restraints (Y page 43) Additional protection potential is pro-
vided by:
R
Supplemental RestraintSystem (SRS)
with
- Air bags (Y page 33)
- Air bag control unit (with crash sen-
sors)
- Emergency Tensioning Devices and
seat belt force limiters (Y page 33)
R Air bag system components with
-Passenger front air bag off indicator
lamp (Y page 41)
- Passenger seat with OccupantClassi-
fication System (OCS) (Y page 39)
Although independent systems, their pro-
tective functions work in conjunction with
each other.
i For information on infants and chil-
dren traveling with you in the vehicle
and restraint systems for infants and
children, see “Children in the vehicle”
(Y page 42).
The SRS system conducts a self-test when
the ignition is switched on and in regular
intervals while the engine is running. This
facilitates detection of malfunctions. The
SRS indicator lamp 0075in the instrument
cluster comes on when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after approx-
imately four seconds.
The SRS components are in operational
readiness if the SRS indicator lamp 0075
is not lit when the engine is running.
A malfunction in the system has been
detected if the SRS indicator lamp 0075
R fails to go out after approximately 4 sec-
onds after the ignition was switched on
R does not come on at all
R comes on after the engine was started or
while driving G

ducted on restraint systems (such as seat 30

Head-thorax air bag
Window curtain air bags and thorax-pel-
vis side air bags (coupé only) G
WARNING
There is a possibility for a thorax-pelvis
side air bag related injury if occupants,
especially children, are not properly
seated or restrained when next to a thorax-
pelvis side air bag which needs to deploy
rapidly in a side impact in order to do its
job.
To help avoid the possibility of injury,
please follow these guidelines:
(1) Occupants, especially children, should never place their bodies
or lean their heads in the area of
the door where the thorax-pelvis
side air bag inflates. This could
result in serious injuries or
death should the thorax-pelvis
side air bag be deployed.
(2) Always sit as upright as possi- ble, properly use the seat belts,
and for all children 12 years old
or under, use an appropriately
sized infant restraint, toddler
restraint, or booster seat rec-
ommended for the size and
weight of the child.
(3) Always wear seat belts properly. G
WARNING
Only use seat covers which have been tested
and approved by smart for your vehicle
model. A seat cover must have a deployment
control seam for the thorax-pelvis side air
bag. Using other seat covers may interfere
with or prevent the deployment of the
thorax-pelvis side air bags. Contact an
authorized electric drive smart center for
availability.
Window curtain air bags
Window curtain air bags are designed to
provide increased protection for the head,
but not the chest or arms.
Window curtain air bags are deployed
R on the impacted side of the vehicle
R in instances with a high rate of lateral
vehicle deceleration or acceleration
R independently of the front air bags
R regardless of whether the passenger seat
is occupied
R in a rollover if the system determines
that air bag deployment can offer addi-
tional protection to that provided by the
seat belt.
The window curtain air bags are integrated
into the inner side of the roof frame. They
run above the doors from the A-pillar to the
B-pillar. 0043

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
