Check Check
Tire
TirePressure
Pressure The tire inflation pressure in at least one tire is signifi-
cantly below the reference value.
X Carefully bring the vehicle to a halt, avoiding abrupt steer-
ing and braking maneuvers.
X Check and adjust tire inflation pressure as required
(Y page 130).
X If necessary, change the wheel (Y page 195).G
WARNING
Each tire should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure rec-
ommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the Tire and Loading Information placard. If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the Tire and Loading Infor- mation placard, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly underinflated. 164

tion of the tire repair kit in your vehicle
before sealing a tire.
The tire repair kit can be used to seal
punctures of up to approximately 0.16 in
(4 mm) on the tire tread.
The tire repair kit enables you to drive on the sealed tire to the nearest authorized
electric drive smart center.
X You should have the sealed tire replaced
at an authorized electric drive smart
center. G
WARNING
Take care not to allow the contents of the
tire sealant to come in contact with hair,
eyes or clothing. The tire sealant is harm- ful if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed
through the skin - causes skin, eye and res- piratory irritation. Wear gloves while
using this product if they are available.
Any contact with eyes or skin should be
flushed immediately with plenty of water.
If clothing comes in contact with the tire
sealant, change clothing as soon as possi-
ble.
In case of allergic reaction or rash, consult
a physician immediately. Notes
R Small tire punctures, particularly those
in the tread, can be sealed with the tire
sealant.
R The tire sealant can be used in ambient
temperatures from ‑4 ¦(‑20¥) to 104¦
(+40¥).
R Do not remove any foreign objects such as
nails or screws that have penetrated the
tire.
R Do not use the tire sealant if the tire has
been damaged by being driven when
insufficiently inflated (e.g. bumps,
cuts, cracks etc. on the tire).
R Allow escaped tire sealant to dry, then
peel it off. R
Immediately wash all painted surfaces
that came into contact with the tire seal-
ant using a damp cloth.
R Avoid skin and eye contact with the tire
sealant.
R Do not swallow the tire sealant.
R Allow the tire sealant that is inside the
damaged tire to dry and dispose of
together with the tire.
R Do not use the tire sealant after the expi-
ration date has elapsed (see top of con-
tainer).
Instead, have it replaced at an author-
ized electric drive smart center. G
WARNING
The tire sealant is a limited repair device. The tire sealant cannot be used for cuts or
punctures larger than approximately
0.16 in (4 mm) and tire damage caused by
driving with extremely low tire inflation
pressure, or on a flat tire, or a damaged
wheel.
Do not drive the vehicle under such cir-
cumstances.
If you are unsure of the condition of the tireor have any question whatsoever about its
suitability for driving contact the nearest
authorized electric drive smart center for
assistance or call Roadside Assistance. G
WARNING
Please review the instructions below for
using the tire repair kit. If you are not
confident that you can competently follow
the instructions for using this kit, do not
use the kit, but instead call for Roadside
Assistance. G
WARNING
Keep the tire sealant out of reach of chil-
dren. If swallowed, rinse mouth immedi-
ately with plenty of water and drink plenty of water.
Do not induce vomiting!
Consult a physician immediately. 188

Wheel change
Preparing the vehicle
X Park the vehicle on a hard, flat surface
when possible.
X Turn on the hazard warning flasher.
X Turn the steering wheel so that the front
wheels are in a straight-ahead position.
X Engage the parking brake.
X Move the gear selector lever to park
position P.

G
WARNING
When jacking up the vehicle, only use a
suitable jack. Observe the manufacturer’s
safety instructions.
The jack must be designed for jacking up
this vehicle at the jack take-up brackets
built into both sides of the vehicle.
The jack is intended only for lifting the
vehicle briefly for wheel changes. It is not suited for performing maintenance work
under the vehicle. To help avoid personal
injury, use the jack only to lift the vehicle during a wheel change.
Never get beneath the vehicle while it is
supported by the jack. Keep hands and feet
away from the area under the lifted vehicle.
Always lower the vehicle onto sufficient
capacity jackstands before working under
the vehicle.
Always firmly engage the parking brake and block the wheels with wheel chocks or othersizeable objects before raising the vehi-
cle with the jack. Do not release the parking
brake while the vehicle is raised.
Make sure the ground on which the vehicle
is standing and where you place the jack is solid, level and not slippery. If necessary,
use a large underlay. On slippery surfaces, such as tiled floors, you should use a non-
slip underlay, for example a rubber mat.
Do not use wooden blocks or similar objects
to support the jack. Otherwise the jack may
not be able to achieve its load-bearing
capacity if it is not at its full height.
The jack must always be vertical when in
use. Always try to use the jack on level sur- face. If you do not position the jack cor-
rectly, the vehicle can fall off the jack and
seriously or fatally injure you or others.
Never switch on the drive system when the
vehicle is raised.
Also observe the notes on the jack.
X Make sure to have a suitable jack 10
, wheel
wrench 10
and wheel chock 10
.
Contact an authorized electric drive
smart center for information on which
jack and wheel wrench are required.
X Prepare the vehicle as described
(Y page 195).
X Make sure the surface is level.
Prevent the vehicle from rolling away by
blocking wheels with wheel chocks or other sizeable objects:
X Place one wheel chock or other sizeable
object in front of and another wheel
chock or other sizeable object behind
the wheel that is diagonally opposite to
the wheel being changed.
X On wheel to be changed, loosen but do not
yet remove the wheel bolts (approx-
imately one full turn with wheel wrench).
! Only position the jack on the designa-
ted take-up brackets.
You must not position the jack under the
high-voltage battery. Otherwise, the
high-voltage battery could be damaged.

Warning label
The take-up brackets are identified by the
embossed recesses in the area of the door
sills. X
Position jack ;under take-up
bracket :so that it is always vertical as
seen from the side, even if the vehicle is
parked on an incline.
X Jack up the vehicle until the wheel is a
maximum of 1.2 in (3 cm) from the ground.
X Unscrew and remove the wheel bolts.
! Do not place wheel bolts in sand or dirt.
This could result in damage to the wheel
bolts and wheel hub threads.
X Remove the wheel. Mounting the wheel
G
WARNING
Always replace wheel bolts that are dam-
aged or rusted.
Never apply oil or grease to wheel bolts. Damaged wheel hub threads should be
repaired immediately. Do not continue to
drive under these circumstances! Contact
an authorized electric drive smart center
or call Roadside Assistance.
Incorrect wheel bolts or improperly tight-
ened wheel bolts can cause the wheel to
come off. This could cause an accident. Be
sure to use the correct wheel bolts. G
WARNING
Only use genuine smart wheel bolts. Other
wheel bolts may come loose.
Do not tighten the wheel bolts when the
vehicle is raised. Otherwise the vehicle
could fall off the jack.
X Clean contact surfaces of wheel and wheel
hub.
! To avoid paint damage, place wheel flat
against hub and hold it there while
installing first wheel bolt. X
Guide the wheel onto the wheel hub and
push it on.
X Insert two wheel bolts and tighten them
slightly.
X Install last wheel bolt and tighten it
slightly.
X Lower the vehicle until the vehicle is
resting fully on its own weight.
X Remove the jack.
X Tighten the wheel bolts. Observe a tight-
ening torque of 80 lb-ft (110 Nm). 196
