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

WARNING
When connected to a power supply socket, a
high electrical load during the charging
process can lead to overheating of the
external power supply. There is a risk of
fire.
Check the maximum permissible charge
current on site before you begin the charg-
ing process. Contact an authorized electric
drive smart center should you require
assistance. If necessary, adjust the set-
tings of your vehicle.
! An excessive charge current can blow a
fuse or lead to overheating of the exter-
nal power supply. Check whether the
external power supply is compatible
with the set charge current. If necessary,
lower the set charge current or use
another power socket. 0043

About replacing bulbs
Safe vehicle operation depends on proper
exterior lighting and signaling. It is
therefore essential that all bulbs and lamp
assemblies are in good working order at all
times.
Correct headlamp adjustment is extremely
important. Have headlamps checked and
readjusted at regular intervals and when a
bulb has been replaced. Contact an author-
ized electric drive smart center for head-
lamp adjustment. G
WARNING
Bulbs and bulb sockets can be very hot.
Allow the lamp to cool down before changing
a bulb. Otherwise you could be burned if you
touch them.
Keep bulbs out of the reach of children.
Halogen lamps contain pressurized gas. A
bulb can explode if you:
R touch or move it when hot
R drop the bulb
R scratch the bulb
Wear eye and hand protection.
i If the headlamps or front fog lamps* are
fogged up on the inside as a result of
high humidity, driving the vehicle a
distance with the lights on should clear
up the fogging. Notes on bulb replacement:
R
Only use bulbs of the same type and with
the specified watt rating.
R Switch the lights off before replacing a
bulb to prevent short circuits.
R Always use a clean lint-free cloth when
handling bulbs.
R Your hands should be dry and free of oil
and grease.
R Avoid touching the glass of the bulb with
bare fingers.
R If the newly installed bulb does not come
on, contact an authorized electric drive
smart center.
R Have the bulbs for the front fog lamps*
and the LED daytime running lamps*
replaced at an authorized electric drive
smart center. Replacing bulbs

X Remove the jumper cables from positive terminals 0043and 0044.
You can now switch on the headlamps.
X Remount the positive terminal cover.
X Have the 12-volt battery checked at the nearest authorized electric drive smart center.
i Please keep in mind that it will take quite some time to charge the 12-volt battery.
When you switch off the drive system after driving a short distance, you may not be able
to start it again.
Charge the 12-volt battery completely as soon as possible. Towing
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
