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

Charge level gauge
!
Do not hang any objects on the charge
level gauge.
This could cause the charge level gauge
to be torn from its mountings and be dam-
aged.
The charge level gauge :displays charge
status of the high-voltage battery as a per-
centage.
When the High-voltage Battery at High-voltage Battery at
Reserve Level
Reserve Level message appears in the
multifunction display while the drive sys- tem is in operation, the high-voltage bat-
tery has reached the reserve level.
i If the charge level of the high-voltage
battery has dropped below 20 %, recharge it at:
R an AC power socket (Y page 114)
R a private wall box (Y page 115)
R a public charging station
(Y page 117)
Power gauge G
WARNING
The operating condition of the high-volt-
age battery (e.g. not yet at normal operat-
ing temperature or fully charged) influen- ces the braking effect of the electric
motor.
In overrun or braking mode, the motor's
braking effect may therefore be reduced or
may not be present at all.
As a result of the reduced engine braking
effect, you may cause an accident and
injure yourself or others.
Compensate for the reduced engine braking effect by pressing the brake pedal accord-
ingly, as required.
! Do not hang any objects on the power
gauge.
This could cause the power gauge to be
torn from its mountings and be damaged. Power gauge
;contains two segments:
R Section right of 0
Power gauge ;indicates the current
power that the drive system delivers to
the rear wheels. 100 % correspond to 55 kW peak power.
R Section left of 0
When you release the accelerator pedal
or when you depress the brake pedal, the
electric motor operates as a generator.
Electric current is produced and stored
in the high-voltage battery. As long as
the high-voltage battery is being
charged, the electric motor simulates an
engine brake.
When the pointer of power gauge ;is in
the "OFF“ position, the vehicle is not ready to drive, because:
R the drive system has not been started
R the gear selector lever has not been
moved to position Nor Pwhen starting
the drive system
R the charging cable is connected to the
vehicle
R there is not enough power from the high-
voltage battery
R a problem occured in the high-voltage
system
After the drive system has been started, the pointer of power gauge ;moves to posi-
tion 0.READY
READY appears in the multifunction
display (Y page 87). The vehicle is ready
to drive. Adjusting instrument cluster illumi-
nation
You can adjust the illumination of R the switches and dials in the instrument
cluster
R the radio
R the climate control panel
R the charge level and power gauges
Five illumination levels are available. 82
Instrument cluster>> Controls.

R
Three segments: maximum power is
available.
R Two segments: Less than 66 % amount of
power is available.
R One segment: Less than 33 % amount of
power is available.
Under normal operating conditions the
indicator for the maximum power is at the
maximum range :.
The available amount of power can vary
from the the maximum range due to:
R very high or low outside temperatures
R very high power demand over a long time
period
R very low charge level of the high-voltage
battery
By charging the high-voltage battery, the
reduced availability of power can be
improved (Y page 114). ECO indicator
ECO indicator
:helps you to optimize
your driving style. The energy consumption of your vehicle can be reduced and the
cruising range can be increased.
The calculated ECO value in percent indi-
cates if and how your driving style differs
from an ideal driving style (100 %).
It is calculated from the dynamic factors
R acceleration
R braking behavior
R constant driving Feedback is provided by:
R
your driving style when accelerating and
coasting
- If you accelerate evenly and moder-
ately, the ECO value increases. If you
accelerate hard, the ECO value decrea-
ses.
- Anticipatory, constant driving and
coasting without sudden braking
increases the ECO value.
R the uniformity of your driving style
- If you accelerate moderately, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal early
and avoid frequent braking, your driv- ing style is constant and uniform.
Thus, the ECO value increases.
The ECO indicator summarizes the driving
characteristics from the start of the jour- ney to its completion. For this reason, it
changes dynamically at the beginning of
the journey.
After a prolonged standstill of the vehicle, ECO indicator display :always starts at a
value of 50 %.
Re setting the YSTARTSTART menu (Y page 90),
sets the value of the ECO indicator back to
50 %.
The ECO-value is displayed:
R while driving
R if the key is in starter switch position 2. In place of the ECO display, battery charge
level :and charging time ;appear , if:
R the high‑voltage battery is being
charged
R the key is in starter switch position 1.86

WARNING
The outside temperature display is not
designed as an ice-warning device and is
therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
Indicated temperatures just above the
freezing point do not guarantee that the
road surface is free of ice. The road may
still be icy, especially in wooded areas or on bridges. Your vehicle could start to skid if you do not adjust your driving style
accordingly.
Therefore, always adjust your driving style
to the prevailing road and weather condi-
tions. Example illustration (U.S. vehicles)
i
Canada vehicles: The outside tempera-
ture display shows °C °Cinstead of °F
°F.
The outside temperature display :
appears in the multifunction display con-
tinuously.

This is useful:
R if you wish to cool the interior of the
vehicle before driving
R if you wish to charge the vehicle at a
charging station/wallbox at the most
inexpensive electricity rate
With the "Air conditioning before start"
function, the vehicle interior is cooled
prior to a desired departure time.
Prerequisites:
R The doors and tailgate are closed.
R The charging cable for the high‑voltage
battery is connected to a power source
and inserted into the vehicle's power
socket.
R The high‑voltage battery has a suffi-
cient charge.
The maximum duration of "Air condition-
ing before start" is 30 minutes.
Set the air distribution of your vehicle as
follows so that the "Air conditioning
before start" function has the greatest
effect:
R in summer, to the center and side vents
R in winter, onto the windshield and side
windows
Information on air distribution can be
found on (Y page 102).
The setting of the airflow regulator has no
influence on the "Air conditioning before
start" function.
i If the programmed time is too short, the
high‑voltage battery cannot be com-
pletely charged. After setting the depar- ture time, the maximum charge level
which can be reached is then shown.
i If the high‑voltage battery is not suf-
ficiently charged and the "Air condi-
tioning before start" function is acti-
vated, the high‑voltage battery is
charged first. When a charge level of at
least 20 %has been reached, the "Air con-
ditioning before start" function is acti-
vated. This function then has priority over the charging of the high‑voltage
battery.
