public charging station is available.
R The operating range of your vehicle is
limited due to the availability of public
charging stations.
R Public charging stations may not be
available at all in some areas.
In light of the foregoing, proper care must
be exercised in the planning of a long dis-
tance trip with the vehicle. smart is not
responsible for the availability of public
charging stations. Roadside Assistance
The smartmove Assistance (Canada) and
smart 1 service (USA) Program provides
factory trained technical help in the event
of a breakdown. Calls to the toll-free Road-
side Assistance number
1-800-762-7887 (in the USA)
1-877-627-8004 (in Canada)
will be answered by smart Customer Assis-
tance Representatives 24 hours a day,
365 days a year.
Roadside Assistance will be provided in
accordance with standard program guide-
lines which include providing service to
the vehicle up to a reasonable distance
from a paved roadway. We will make every
effort to assist in a breakdown situation,
however, the accessibility of your vehicle
will be determined by our authorized elec-
tric drive smart center technician or the
tow service provider on a case-by-case
basis and may be a factor in our ability to
respond.
Additional charges may be applicable for
a breakdown location determined not to be
a reasonably accessible roadside location
as determined by our authorized techni-
cian and tow service provider.
For additional information refer to the
smart Roadside Assistance Program bro-
chure (USA) or the Warranty Booklet (Can-
ada) in your vehicle literature portfolio. Change of address or ownership
In the USA: If you change your address, be
sure to send in the “Information Change
Card” found in the Warranty Information
Booklet.
In Canada: If you change your address, be
sure to send in the “Change of Address
Notice” found in the Warranty Booklet, or
simply call the Customer Service at
1-800-387-0100.
Maintaining your current address infor-
mation with smart will enable us to contact
you should important new information
about the vehicle, such as recalls, become
available.
If you sell your smart, please leave all lit-
erature with the vehicle to make it avail-
able to the next operator.

or Canada
If you plan to operate your vehicle in for-
eign countries, please be aware that:

Operating safety
G
WARNING
Some safety systems only function while the
drive system is switched on. You should
therefore never switch off the drive system
while driving. G
WARNING
Work improperly carried out on electronic
components and associated software could
cause them to cease functioning. Because
the vehicle’s electronic components are
interconnected, any modifications made
may produce an undesired effect on other
systems. Electronic malfunctions could
seriously impair the operating safety of
your vehicle.
See an authorized electric drive smart
center for repairs or modifications to
electronic components.
Improper work or modifications on other
vehicle systems could also have a negative
impact on the operating safety of the vehi-
cle. G
WARNING
Heavy blows against the vehicle underbody
or tires/wheels, for example when running
over an obstacle, road debris or a pothole,
may cause serious damage and impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
If you feel a sudden significant vibration
or ride disturbance, or you suspect that
damage to your vehicle has occurred, you
should turn on your hazard warning flash-
ers, carefully slow down, and drive with
caution to an area which is a safe distance
from the road.
Inspect the vehicle underbody and tires/
wheels for possible damage. If the vehicle
appears unsafe, have it towed to the nearest
authorized electric drive smart center or
other maintenance or repair facility that
is qualified to work on smart electric vehi-
cles for further inspection or repairs. G
WARNING
A vehicle with an electric motor produces
significantly lower noise levels than a
vehicle with a combustion engine. Other
motorists or pedestrians, especially those
who are visually or hearing impaired, may
be unable to hear your vehicle while it is
in motion. This is particularly true when
driving at lower speeds and during parking
maneuvers. At all times, it is the respon-
sibility of the driver to be aware of their
surroundings, especially in these low
speed situations. Otherwise other road
users could be seriously or fatally injured.
Vehicles equipped with an Acoustic Vehi-
cle Indication* emit a certain noise. Thus,
your vehicle will be better noticed by other
road users at low speeds (Y page 48). Danger of electric shock
The components of the drive system are
indicated by yellow warning labels to make
you aware of high voltage.
High‑voltage cables are orange‑colored.
G
WARNING
Due to the high-voltage technology, elec-
trical leads under high voltage are instal-
led in the vehicle. For this reason, work on
the vehicle may only be carried out by spe-
cially trained technicians.
For safety reasons, smart recommends all
work to be carried out by a smart service 16

G
WARNING
With the drive system inactive, there is no
power assistance for the brake and steering
systems. In this case, it is important to
keep in mind that a considerably higher
degree of effort is necessary to brake and
steer the vehicle. Adapt your driving
accordingly. G
WARNING
Vehicle movement can cause serious per-
sonal injury. Therefore, always do the fol-
lowing before exiting and leaving the
vehicle:
R Keep right foot on the brake pedal.
R Engage the parking brake.
R Move the gear selector lever to park
position P.
R Slowly release the brake pedal.
R When parked on an incline, always turn
the front wheels towards the curb.
R Turn the key to starter switch position 0
and remove the key from the starter
switch.
R Take the key with you and lock the vehicle
when leaving.
X Properly stop and park the vehicle.
X Depress the brake pedal.
X Engage the parking brake (Y page 77).
When the ignition is switched on, the
brake warning lamp 0027(USA only) or
004D (Canada only) in the instrument
cluster comes on.
X Release the brake pedal.
Parking brake The parking brake serves to secure the
vehicle against rolling away when it is
stationary or parked. Driving and parking

G
WARNING
Engaging the parking brake while the vehi-
cle is in motion can cause the rear wheels
to lock up. You could lose control of the
vehicle and cause an accident. In addition,
the vehicle’s brake lights do not light up
when the parking brake is engaged. X
Releasing: Depress the brake pedal.
X Pull up slightly on parking brake
lever 0044and press release button 0043.
X Push parking brake lever 0044down as far
as it will go.
When the ignition is switched on, the
brake warning lamp 0027(USA only) or
004D (Canada only) in the instrument
cluster goes out.
X Engaging: Pull up parking brake
lever 0044firmly.
When the ignition is switched on, the
brake warning lamp 0027(USA only) or
004D (Canada only) in the instrument
cluster comes on. G
WARNING
Getting out of your vehicle with the trans-
mission not fully engaged in park position
P is dangerous. When the drive system is
switched off and the brakes are released,
the vehicle can be moved freely with the
gear selector lever in all positions except
park position P. Also, when parked on an
incline, park position Palone may not pre-
vent your vehicle from moving, possibly
hitting people or objects. Always engage the parking brake in addi-
tion to shifting to park position
P.
When parked on an incline, always turn the
front wheels towards the curb. G
WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
key from the starter switch, take it with
you, and lock the vehicle. Do not leave chil-
dren unattended in the vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Children
could release the parking brake and/or
move the gear selector lever from park
position P, either of which could result in
an accident and/or serious personal
injury.
Brake pedal The brake pedal has two brake circuits
independent of each other. When the igni-
tion is switched on, a brake servo is used
during braking to increase pedal force.
G
WARNING
Make sure absolutely no objects are
obstructing the pedals’ range of motion.
Keep the driver’s footwell clear of all
obstacles. If there are any floormats* or
carpets in the footwell, make sure the ped-
als still have sufficient clearance.
During sudden acceleration or braking
maneuvers, the objects could get caught
between or beneath the pedals and restrict
your ability to brake or accelerate. This
could lead to accidents and/or injury. G
WARNING
Considerably more effort will be required
to apply the brakes if
R the brake servo has failed
R a brake circuit has failed
R the ignition is switched off, e.g. for tow-
ing the vehicle
The braking distance is likewise greater. 78
