charge the high‑voltage battery when no
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.
In the USA: If you bought this vehicle used, be sure to send in the “Information ChangeCard” found in the Warranty Information
Booklet.
In Canada: If you bought this vehicle used,
be sure to send in the “Notice of Pre‑Owned Vehicle Purchase” found in the Warranty
Booklet, or call the Customer Service at

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

may not be readily available.
R The AC power sockets in some countries,
especially overseas, require different
plugs on the charging cable.
R Charging stations may not be available. >> Introduction.

partner which is qualified for smart elec-
tric drive.
Particular care should be taken involving
all areas which are in the vicinity of high
voltage parts, e.g. parts in the engine com-
partment. Orange-colored cables and their respective sockets carry high voltage and
must not be damaged.
Serious injury or death can result if you:
R remove the covers of components which
are labeled with a warning sticker.
R handle components of the high-voltage
vehicle electrical system.
R open the housing.
R disconnect plug connectors.
R come into contact with components or
orange-colored cables of the high-volt-
age vehicle electrical system following
an accident.
R come into contact with orange-colored
cables or their damaged plug connectors.
R come into contact with damaged compo-
nents of the high-voltage vehicle elec-
trical system.
Have the damaged orange-colored cables or their damaged plug connectors replaced
immediately at an authorized electric
drive smart center. The service partner
must have the required knowledge and tools
to carry out the necessary work. For safety
reasons, smart recommends using a smart
center which is qualified for smart elec-
tric drive. Particularly for safety-rele-
vant work and work on safety-relevant vehi- cle systems, servicing by an authorized
electric drive smart center is essential.
Do not remove the high-voltage battery of
the high-voltage vehicle electrical sys-
tem. Have the required work carried out by
an authorized electric drive smart center.
smart recommends that you use an author-
ized electric drive smart center. G
WARNING
The high‑voltage battery of the drive sys-
tem is located under the vehicle’s under-
body. When the pressure inside the
high‑voltage battery exceeds a certain
value, for example in case of a vehicle fire, inflammable gas will escape via a duct. Theinflammable gas escapes to an area under
the vehicle. This prevents the high‑voltage
battery from exploding.
Stay away from this area of the vehicle.
When you carry out common works like
replacing bulbs or checking coolant level,
make sure that
R the ignition is switched off
R the charging cable for the high-voltage
battery is disconnected. Automatic switch-off of the high-volt-
age system
The high-voltage system will be automati- cally switched off, in the event:
R of an accident in which the restraint
systems are triggered
R of a short circuit in the high-voltage
system is detected
R that an electric connection in the high-
voltage system has been disconnected
This helps to avoid that you get in contact
with high-voltage. High-voltage battery

the vehicle. This prevents the high‑voltage
battery from exploding.
Stay away from this area of the vehicle. High-voltage disconnect device
Your vehicle is equipped with a high-volt-
age disconnect device :to disable the
vehicle’s high-voltage system.
! The high-voltage system must only be
switched off at vehicle standstill by
specially trained service engineers.
Otherwise the high-voltage system may
be damaged. Proper use of the vehicle
Proper use of the vehicle requires that you
are familiar with the following informa-
tion and rules:
R the safety precautions in this manual
R the “Technical data” section in this man-
ual
R traffic rules and regulations
R motor vehicle laws and safety standards G
WARNING
Various warning labels are attached to your vehicle. These warning labels are intended
to make you and others aware of various
risks. You should not remove any of these
warning labels unless explicitly instruc-
ted to do so by information on the label
itself. Removal of any of these labels may cause you and others to be unaware of cer-
tain risks which may result in an accident
and/or personal injury. Problems with your vehicle
If you should experience a problem with
your vehicle, particularly one that you
believe may affect its safe operation, we
urge you to immediately contact an author-
ized electric drive smart center to have the problem diagnosed and corrected if
required. Do not drive the vehicle if you
believe it may not be safely operated. If the
matter is not handled to your satisfaction, please discuss the problem with the smart
center management, or if necessary contact
us at one of the following addresses:
