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
WARNING
Modifications to or work improperly con-
ducted on restraint systems (such as seat 30

keep both feet on the floor in front of the
seat.
R When using a seat belt to secure infant or
toddler restraints or children in booster
seats, always follow the child seat man-
ufacturer’s instructions. Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs)
and seat belt force limiters
The seat belts are equipped with Emer-
gency Tensioning Devices and seat belt
force limiters.
Emergency Tensioning Devices are
designed to activate in the following
cases:
R in frontal or rear-end impacts exceed-
ing the system deployment threshold
R if the restraint systems are operational
and functioning correctly
R in collisions with high vehicle decel-
eration/acceleration in the longitudi-
nal direction, e.g. a head-on collision
R on passenger side when the seat is occu-
pied and the seat belt is fastened
R independently of the front air bags
When activated, Emergency Tensioning
Devices remove slack from the seat belts in
such a way that the seat belts fit more
snugly against the body. Seat belt force
limiters, when activated, reduce the force
exerted by the seat belts on occupants dur-
ing a crash.
When the emergency tensioning device is
triggered, the SRS indicator lamp 0075in
the instrument cluster illuminates, see
“SRS indicator lamp” (Y page 169).G
WARNING
Once they have been triggered, Emergency
Tensioning Devices will no longer function
properly and must be replaced. smart rec-
ommends that you visit a qualified work-
shop to have this done. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys- tems must be carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
Comply with safety regulations when dis-
posing of Emergency Tensioning Devices.
These regulations are available at any
smart center.
The belt force limiter is designed to oper-
ate in unison with the front air bag, which
absorbs a portion of the seat belt’s decel-
erating forces, distributing the load over
a larger area.
In the event of a head-on or rear-end col-
lision, the emergency tensioning device is
activated if the vehicle is decelerated or
accelerated sufficiently in the longitudi-
nal direction at the start of impact with the
ignition switched on. Air bags
Air bags can reduce the severity of inju-
ries in serious collisions, e.g. in a head-
on collision or a side impact. G
WARNING
Air bags are designed to reduce the poten-
tial of injury in certain frontal impacts
(front air bags and knee bags), or side
impacts (head-thorax air bags, window
curtain air bags and thorax-pelvis air
bags) which may cause significant inju-
ries. However, no system available today
can completely eliminate injuries and
fatalities.
The deployment of the air bags temporarily
releases a small amount of dust from the air
bags. This dust is neither injurious to your
health, nor does it indicate a fire in the
vehicle. The dust might cause some tempo-
rary breathing difficulty for people with
asthma or other breathing trouble. To avoid
this, you may wish to get out of the vehicle
as soon as it is safe to do so. If you have any
breathing difficulty but cannot get out of
the vehicle after the air bag inflates, then
get fresh air by opening a window or door. Occupant safety

R
Do not lean on the armrests or lift your-
self from the seat by using the handle
over the door as this may cause the OCS to
be unable to correctly approximate the
occupant weight category.
R Only have the seat repaired or replaced
by an authorized electric drive smart
center.
R Read and observe all warnings in this
chapter.
Self-test Occupant Classification Sys-
tem After turning the key in the starter switch
to position 1or 2, the 0073006Findi-
cator lamp located in the center console
illuminates. If an adult occupant is prop-
erly sitting on the passenger seat and the
system senses the occupant as being an
adult, the 0073006Findicator lamp
will illuminate and go out after approx-
imately 4 seconds.
If the seat is not occupied and the system
senses the passenger seat as being empty,
the 0073006Findicator lamp will
illuminate and not go out. G
WARNING
If the 0073006Findicator lamp does
not illuminate immediately after switch-
ing on the drive system, the system is not
functioning. You must contact an author-
ized electric drive smart center before
seating any child on the passenger seat.
More information can be found in the
“Practical hints” section (Y page 175).G
WARNING
Never place anything between seat cushion
and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it
reduces the effectiveness of the Occupant
Classification System. The bottom of the
child seat must make full contact with the
passenger seat cushion. An incorrectly
mounted child seat could cause injuries to the child in case of an accident, instead of
increasing protection for the child.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
installation of child seats. Children in the vehicle
If an infant or child is traveling with you
in the vehicle:
X Secure the child using an infant or child
restraint appropriate to the age and size
of the child.
X Make sure the infant or child is properly
secured at all times while the vehicle is
in motion. G
WARNING
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a child
restraint system. The children could
R injure themselves on parts of the vehicle
R be seriously or fatally injured through
excessive exposure to extreme heat or
cold
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight. The child restraint sys-
tem’s metal parts, for example, could
become very hot, and the child could be
burned on these parts.
If children open a door, they could
R injure other persons
R get out of the vehicle and injure them-
selves or be injured by following traffic
Do not carry heavy or hard objects in the
passenger compartment unless they are
firmly secured in place.

Safety notes
G
WARNING
All seat adjustments, as well as fastening
of seat belts, must be done before the vehi-
cle is operated. G
WARNING
When adjusting the seat, make sure no one
becomes trapped.
Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driv-
ing. Adjusting the seat while driving could
cause the driver to lose control of the vehi-
cle.
Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat
backrest in an excessively reclined posi-
tion as this can be dangerous. You could
slide under the seat belt in a collision. If
you slide under the seat belt, it could apply
force at the abdomen or neck, potentially
causing serious or fatal injuries. The seat
backrest and seat belts provide the best
restraint when the wearer is in a position
that is as upright as possible and seat belts
are properly positioned on the body.
Your seat must be adjusted so that you can
correctly fasten your seat belt.
Observe the following points:
R Adjust the seat backrest until your arms
are slightly angled when holding the
steering wheel.
R Adjust the seat to a comfortable seating
position that still allows you to reach the
accelerator/brake pedal safely. The
position should be as far back as possi-
ble with the driver still able to operate
the controls properly.
R Never place hands under the seat or near
any moving parts while a seat is being
adjusted.
Failure to do so could result in an accident
and/or serious personal injury.
Observe the notes on the air bag system. G
WARNING
Children 12 years old and under must be
seated and properly secured in an appro-
priately sized infant restraint, toddler
restraint, or booster seat recommended for
the size and weight of the child. For addi-
tional information, see “Children in the
vehicle”.
A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries
is significantly increased if the child
restraints are not properly secured in the
vehicle and/or the child is not properly
secured in the child restraint. G
WARNING
Contact an authorized electric drive smart
center if the seats have become damaged.
The seat is an integral part of the vehicle’s
safety system in the same way as seat belts
and air bags. Damage to the seats may
reduce their ability to protect the occu-
pants in an accident. Seat adjustment
