dent and/or serious personal injury.
! To prevent possible malfunction, avoid
exposing the remote control to high lev-
els of electromagnetic radiation.
If you can no longer lock or unlock the vehi- cle with the remote control, the batteries
in the remote control are discharged, or

When loading, make sure no sharp objects
come into contact with the soft top or the
rear window.
Do not place any evenly distributed loads with a weight of more than 165 lbs (75 kg)
on the rear soft top when folded down.
Make sure the high-mounted brake lamp
is not concealed.
! Do not block the soft top system’s lock-
ing apertures.
Only place the side rails in the desig-
nated storage space of the tailgate.
! Do not sit on the folded-down rear soft
top.
Do not fold down the rear soft top at tem-
peratures below 14¦ (-10¥).
Do not place any pointed, sharp-edged,
hot (above 176¦ [80¥]), incandescent or
burning objects on the soft top’s lining.
Do not apply wax to the soft top fabric and select only wax-free washing products
when using an automatic car wash.
Only drive with the retaining clips
closed, as exhaust fumes could otherwise
reach the vehicle’s interior.
! Please keep in mind that weather con-
ditions can sometimes change rapidly.
Make sure to close the retractable soft
top and the rear soft top when leaving the
vehicle. If water enters the vehicle inte- rior, vehicle electronics could be dam-
aged which is not covered by the smart
Limited Warranty. Opening and closing the retractable
soft top
You can open and close the retractable soft
top when the vehicle is either stationary or in motion. G
WARNING
Never operate the retractable soft top if
there is the possibility of anyone being harmed by the opening or closing proce-
dure.
G
WARNING
The retractable soft top is made out of fab- ric. In the event of an accident, the fabric
may tear. This may result in an opening in
the roof.
In a vehicle rollover, occupants not wear-
ing their seat belts or not wearing them
properly may be thrown out of the opening.
Such an opening also presents a potential
for injury for occupants wearing their seat
belts properly as entire body parts or por- tions of them may protrude from the
passenger compartment. G
WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key from the starter switch, take it with
you, and lock the vehicle. Do not leave chil- dren unattended in the vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. A child’s
unsupervised access to a vehicle could
result in an accident and/or serious per-
sonal injury.
! To avoid damaging the seals, do not
transport any objects with sharp edges
which can stick out of the retractable
soft top.
Do not open the retractable soft top if
there is snow or ice on the roof, as this
could result in malfunctions.
If you cannot open or close the retracta-
ble soft top due to a malfunction contact
Roadside Assistance or an authorized
electric drive smart center.
i To avoid draining the battery, leave the
drive system running when opening and
closing the retractable soft top.
Opening from outside You can open the retractable soft top com-
pletely with the key. Soft top system (cabriolet only)

Make sure the drive system is active when-
ever the vehicle is rolling. Have the brake system repaired at an authorized electric
drive smart center, if there is a fault in the
brake system. If a brake circuit has failed (Y
page 167),
you must depress brake pedal :further
down to achieve the same effect and the
braking distance is increased.
i The brake servo will only function with
the ignition switched on. Switching off the drive system
G
WARNING
Do not turn off the drive system before the
vehicle has come to a complete stop. With
the drive system not running, there is no
power assistance for the brake and steering systems. In this case, it is important to
keep in mind that a considerably higher
degree of effort is necessary to brake and
steer the vehicle.

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:

charged
R the key is in starter switch position 1.86

WARNING
Never drive with iced up or fogged win-
dows. Visibility will be significantly
impaired. Impaired visibility could
endanger yourself and others. This may
prevent you from observing the traffic con- ditions, thereby causing an accident.
The best defrosting of windows is achieved
if the ice is completely removed from the
windows manually with an ice scraper
before driving off.
Also use the "Air conditioning before
start" function (Y page 90).

The rear window defroster serves to de-ice
the rear window quickly and clear the view if the rear window is fogged.
The rear window defroster uses a large
amount of power. To keep battery drain to a
minimum, switch off the rear window
defroster as soon as the rear window is
clear. The rear window defroster is auto-
matically deactivated after approximately 10 minutes of operation. X
Make sure the key is in starter switch
position 1.

defroster switch :comes on.
X Switching off: Press rear window
defroster switch :once more.
The indicator lamp in rear window

Switch to air recirculation mode to prevent unpleasant odors from entering the vehicle
from the outside (e.g. before driving
through a tunnel). This setting cuts off the
intake of outside air and recirculates the
air in the passenger compartment. G
WARNING
When the air recirculation mode is
switched on, windows can fog on the inside immediately. Fogged windows impair vis-
ibility, endangering you and others. If the
windows begin to fog on the inside, switch- ing off the air recirculation mode imme-
diately should clear interior window fog-
ging. If interior window fogging persists,
make sure the air conditioning is switched on, turn air distribution control Bto
