WARNING
Follow the recommended settings for heat-
ing and cooling given on the following pages. Otherwise the windows could fog up,
impairing visibility and endangering you
and others.
The air conditioning improves the level of
comfort when driving at high outside tem-
peratures by cooling and dehumidifying
the air.
Nearly all dust particles, pollutants, are
filtered out by an integrated particle fil-
ter before outside air enters the passenger compartment through the air distribution
system. It also operates when the air con-
ditioning is switched off and you have
switched on the blower.
The dehumidification of the air by the air
conditioner prevents the windows from
misting up when the outside air humidity
is high.
This effect can also be used to defrost the
windows. For this, make sure, in addition
to the air conditioner, that the heater is on the maximum setting.
The air conditioner only works when:
R the ignition is switched on
R the blower is switched on
R the driver's door is closed
Maximum effectiveness is achieved if you
drive with the windows closed.
If the operating temperature of the
high‑voltage battery is too high, the
high‑voltage battery is cooled by the air
conditioner. When the air conditioner
switches on, the cooling output in the vehi- cle's interior is reduced as a result. The
temperature in the vehicle's interior may
rise briefly.
If the air conditioner is not switched on,
the compressor of the air conditioner and
the vehicle's cooling fan are switched on
automatically. This cools the high‑voltage
battery but not the vehicle's interior. When
the high‑voltage battery reaches the nom-
inal temperature again, the air condi-
tioner switches off automatically. Air conditioning with climate control

If you remove the charging cable from the
power supply socket, the value is reset to
the default value for the next charging
process.
i You can also set the maximum charge
current via the control system
(Y page 92).
If differing values are set on the charg- ing cable and the control system, the
high‑voltage battery is charged using
the lowest value.

The payment procedure and charging pro-
cesses may differ between public charging
stations, depending on the provider.
Please make yourself familiar with the
proper procedures of the public charging
station at which you are intending to
charge your vehicle.
Charging station without charging com- munication You must activate charging stations with-
out charging communication before the
charging process. This can be done with an
RFID card or a telephone call, for example. High-voltage battery
117>> Operation. Z

Observe the provider's instructions at the
charging station.
Charging station with charging commu-
nication („Plug&Charge“) You do not have to activate charging sta-
tions with charging communication before
the charging process. This is done by the
vehicle. This function is called "Plug &
Charge". Information is exchanged
between the vehicle and the charging sta-
tion via the charging cable for activation.
This is for:
R mutual authorization of the vehicle and
the charging station
R verification of contract data
R automatic billing of the energy costs
Electronic certificates are used here for
secure exchange of data.
If the verification of contract data is suc-
cessful, the charging process is initiated.
i A preliminary version of the
ISO/IEC 15118 standard is used for com-
munication between the vehicle and the
charging station. If it is necessary to
update your vehicle, consult an author-
ized electric drive smart center.
In order to use "Plug & Charge", you have to
configure the functions of your vehicle on
the "Vehicle Homepage" (Y page 120). For
this you require a "Plug & Charge" certif-
icate which you receive from your power
company after concluding a suitable con-
tract. Consult an authorized electric drive
smart center if you have problems with the
configuration or have no access to the
Internet.
The charging station offers information on the availability of electricity and costs.
This information is processed by the vehi-
cle and is used for an optimum charging of the high‑voltage battery (Y page 123). The
energy costs are automatically calculated
after the charging process is complete. With your existing electricity contract,
you and others who have access to your vehi-
cle can charge the costs to your electricity
bill. For this reason, cancel your existing electricity contract for this vehicle
before you sell it. Delete your "Plug &
Charge" certificate by all means.
i You can delete the certificate from the
vehicle's data on the "Vehicle Home-
page". Please consult an authorized
electric drive smart center if you do not have access to the Internet.
If the charging station allows the connec-
ted vehicle access to the Internet, you can
call up and change information pertaining to the vehicle on the "Vehicle Homepage"
(Y page 120).

WARNING
The cooling system is pressurized. There-
fore, do not unscrew the cap before the
drive system has cooled down. Wait for a
cooling period of at least 30 minutes. Oth- erwise, you could be seriously burned if hot coolant escapes.
The coolant is a mixture of water and anti-
corrosion/antifreeze. To check the coolant
level the vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the drive system must have
cooled down. For more information, see
„Coolants“ (Y page 219).
The battery coolant reservoir is located in the front compartment on the driver’s side.
i The coolant expansion tank for the bat-
tery‑ and drive system cooling is located

WARNING
Windshield washer concentrate is highly
flammable. Fire, naked flames and smoking
are prohibited when windshield washer
concentrate is being handled. Coolants
The battery and drive system coolant is a
mixture of water and anticorrosion/anti-
freeze, which provides: R Corrosion protection
R Freeze protection
R Boiling protection (by increasing the
boiling point)
The cooling system was filled at the factory with a coolant providing freeze protection
to approximately -35¦ (-37¥) and corro-
sion protection.
! Add premixed coolant solution only.
Adding water and MB 325.0 Anticorro-
sion/Antifreeze separately from each
other, could cause drive system damage
not covered by the smart Limited War-
ranty.
If the antifreeze mixture is effective to
-35¦ (-37¥), the boiling point of the
coolant in the pressurized cooling system
is reached at approximately 266¦ (130¥).
The coolant solution must be used year
round, even in countries which have high
temperatures to provide the necessary cor-
rosion protection and increase boil‑over
protection. Refer to Maintenance/ Service
Booklet for replacement interval.
Coolant system design and coolant used
determine the replacement interval. The
replacement interval published in the
Maintenance booklet is only applicable if
MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze solu-
tion or other smart approved products of
equal specification are used to renew the
coolant concentration or bring it back up
to the proper level. For information on other smart approved
products of equal specification, contact an
authorized electric drive smart center.
To provide important corrosion protec-
tion, the solution must be at least 50% anti-
corrosion/antifreeze (equivalent to freeze
protection to approximately -35¦
[-37¥]).
If you use a solution that is more than 55%
anticorrosion/antifreeze (freeze protec-
tion to approximately -49 ¦[(-45¥ ]), the
drive system and battery temperature will
increase due to the lower heat transfer
capability of the solution. Therefore, do
not use more than this amount of anticor-
rosion/antifreeze.
If the coolant level is low, water and
MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze should
be used to bring it up to the proper level
(have cooling system checked for signs of
leakage). Please make sure the mixture is
in accordance with label instructions.
Always use anticorrosion/antifreeze that
has been approved by smart. For informa-
tion contact an authorized electric drive
smart center.
The water in the cooling system must meet
minimum requirements, which are usually
satisfied by normal drinking water.
If you are not sure about the water quality, consult an authorized electric drive smart
center.

Failure to use such anticorrosion/anti-
freeze coolant will result in a signifi-
cantly shortened service life.
Therefore, the following product is
strongly recommended for use in your vehi- cle: MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze
agent.
Before the start of the winter season (or
once a year in hot southern regions), you
should have the anticorrosion/antifreeze
concentration checked.
The coolant is also regularly checked each
time you bring your vehicle to an author-
ized electric drive smart center for ser-
vice.
