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

Standing water
Do not drive through flooded areas or water of unknown depth. Before driving through
water, determine its depth. Never acceler-
ate before driving into water.
If you must drive through standing water,
drive slowly to prevent water from entering
R the front compartment
R the engine compartment
R the passenger compartment
! Water in these areas could cause dam-
age to
R electrical components
R electrical wiring
R the drive system
R the high-voltage battery
Any such damage is not covered by the
smart Limited Warranty. Passenger compartment

WARNING
Always fasten items being carried as
securely as possible.
In an accident, during hard braking or sud- den maneuvers, loose items thrown around
inside the vehicle may injure vehicle
occupants.
The cargo compartment is the preferred
place to carry objects. Control and operation of radio trans-
mitters
Radio and telephone G
WARNING
Please do not forget that your primary
responsibility is to drive the vehicle
safely. Only operate the radio or tele- phone
8
if road, weather and traffic condi-
tions permit.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approx-
imately 14 m) every second.
Telephones and two-way radios G
WARNING
Never operate radio transmitters equipped with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e.
without being connected to an external
antenna) from inside the vehicle while the
drive system is switched on. Doing so couldlead to a malfunction of the vehicle’s elec-
tronic system, possibly resulting in an
accident and/or serious personal injury.
Radio transmitters, such as a mobile phone
or a citizens band unit should only be used inside the vehicle if they are connected to an antenna that is installed on the outside
of the vehicle.
Refer to the radio transmitter operation
instructions regarding use of an external
antenna. Coolant temperature
During severe operating conditions and
stop-and-go city traffic, the coolant tem-
perature may rise. ! Excessive coolant temperature causes
the red coolant temperature warning
lamp ? in the instrument cluster to
come on.
The drive system should not be operated
with the red coolant temperature warn-
ing lamp ?illuminated. Doing so may
cause serious damage to the drive system
and the high-voltage battery, which is
not covered by the smart Limited War-
ranty.
