the driver and passenger to always be in a
properly seated position and to wear their respective seat belt.
For maximum protection in the event of a
collision always be in normal seated posi-
tion with your back against the backrest.
Fasten your seat belt and ensure it is prop-
erly positioned on your body.
Since the air bag inflates with considera- ble speed and force, a proper seating and
hands on steering wheel position will help
to keep you at a safe distance from the air
bag.
Occupants who are unbelted, out of position
or too close to the air bag can be seriously
injured or killed by an air bag as it
inflates extremely quickly and with great
force:
R Sit properly belted in a position that is
as upright as possible with your back
against the seat backrest.
R Adjust the driver’s seat as far as possible
rearward, still permitting proper oper-
ation of vehicle controls. The distance
from the center of the driver’s breast-
bone to the center of the air bag cover on
the steering wheel must be at least
10 inches (25 cm) or more. You should be
able to accomplish this by adjustments to the seat. If you have any problems, please contact an authorized electric drive
smart center.
R Do not lean your head or chest close to the
steering wheel or dashboard.
R Keep hands on the outside of the steering
wheel rim. Placing hands and arms inside the rim can increase the risk and poten-
tial severity of hand/arm injury when the
driver’s front air bag inflates.
R Adjust the passenger seat as far as pos-
sible rearward from the dashboard when
the seat is occupied.
R Occupants, especially children, should
never place their bodies or lean their
heads in the area of the door where the
head-thorax air bag (cabriolet) or thorax-pelvis side air bag (coupé)
inflates. This could result in serious
injuries or death should the head-thorax air bag (cabriolet) or thorax-pelvis side
air bag (coupé) be deployed. Always sit as
upright as possible, wear the seat belt
properly and use an appropriately sized
infant restraint, toddler restraint, or
booster seat recommended for the size
and weight of the child.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in severe injuries to you or other
occupants.
If you sell your vehicle, it is important that you make the buyer aware of this safety
information. Be sure to give the buyer this
Operator’s Manual.
i Air bags are designed to deploy only in
certain frontal impacts (front air bags
and knee bags), or side impacts (head-
thorax air bags, window curtain air bags and thorax-pelvis air bags) which
exceed preset thresholds. Only during
these events will they provide their sup-
plemental protection.
The driver and passenger should always
wear their seat belts. Otherwise it is not
possible for air bags to provide their
supplemental protection.
In case of other types of impacts and
impacts below air bag deployment
thresholds, air bags will not deploy. The
driver and passenger will then be pro-
tected to the extent possible by a prop-
erly fastened seat belt. A properly fas-
tened seat belt is also needed to provide the best possible protection in a roll-
over.
We caution you not to rely on the presence
of the air bags in order to avoid wearing your seat belt.
It is important to your safety and that of
your passenger that you replace deployed
air bags and repair any malfunctioning
air bags to make sure the vehicle will 34
Occupant safety>> Safety.

An inflated air bag slows down and reduces
the movement of the occupant. When the
occupant makes contact with a front air bag
or head-thorax air bag (cabriolet only),
hot gas flows out of the inflated front air
bags and head-thorax air bags (cabriolet
only). This reduces the load on the occu-
pant’s head and upper body. These air bags
are consequently deflated after the acci-
dent.
Driver front air bag/passenger front air
bag The front air bags are designed to reduce
the potential of injury in certain frontal
impacts.
Driver front air bag and passenger front
air bag are deployed
R at the start of an accident with high
vehicle deceleration in the longitudinal direction
R independently of other air bags in the
vehicle being deployed
R never in the event of a rollover, unless
high vehicle deceleration in the longi-
tudinal direction is detected
i The front air bags in this vehicle have
been designed to inflate in two stages.
This allows the air bag to have different rates of inflation that are based on the
rate of relevant vehicle deceleration
and a fastened or unfastened seat belt as assessed by the air bag control unit.
On the passenger side, the front air bag
deployment is additionally influenced
by the passenger’s weight category as
identified by the Occupant Classifica-
tion System (OCS) (Y page 39).
The lighter the passenger side occupant,
the higher the vehicle deceleration rate required for the second stage inflation
of the air bag.
The air bags will not deploy in impacts
which do not exceed the system’s deploy- ment thresholds. In such instances, the seat
belts are designed to protect you.
The passenger air bag will only be
deployed if
R the system, based on OCS weight sensor
readings, senses that the passenger seat
is occupied and the 40
indicator lamp is not lit (Y page 41)
R the impact exceeds a preset deployment
threshold
The driver front air bag is located in the
steering wheel housing, the passenger
front air bag above the glove box. :

panel. They are designed to operate
together with the front air bags in certain
frontal impacts if the system determines
that air bag deployment can offer addi-
tional protection to that provided by the
seat belts. Knee bags operate best in con-
junction with a properly positioned and
fastened seat belts.
Head-thorax air bags (cabriolet only) G
WARNING
There is a possibility for a head-thorax air bag related injury if occupants, especially children, are not properly seated or
restrained when next to a head-thorax air
bag which needs to deploy rapidly in a side
impact in order to do its job.
To help avoid the possibility of injury,
please follow these guidelines:
(1) Occupants, especially children, should never place their bodies
or lean their heads in the area of
the door where the head-thorax
air bag inflates. This could
result in serious injuries or
death should the head-thorax air
bag be deployed.
(2) Always sit as upright as possi- ble, properly use the seat belts,
and for all children 12 years old
or under, use an appropriately
sized infant restraint, toddler
restraint, or booster seat rec-
ommended for the size and
weight of the child.
(3) Always wear seat belts properly. G
WARNING
Only use seat covers which have been tested and approved by smart for your vehicle
model. A seat cover must have a deploymentcontrol seam for the head-thorax air bag.
Using other seat covers may interfere with
or prevent the deployment of the head-
thorax air bags. Contact an authorized electric drive smart center for availabil-
ity.
If activated, the head-thorax air bags are
intended to provide increased protection
for the head and thorax (but not arms) of the
occupants on the side of the vehicle that is struck.
The head-thorax air bags are deployed
R on the side of the vehicle that is struck
(when passenger side is struck only if the
seat is occupied)
R at the start of an accident with high
vehicle deceleration or acceleration
acting in a lateral direction, e.g. a side
impact
R regardless of whether or not the seat belt
is in use
R independently of the front air bags

WARNING
Only use seat covers which have been tested and approved by smart for your vehicle
model. A seat cover must have a deploymentcontrol seam for the thorax-pelvis side air
bag. Using other seat covers may interfere
with or prevent the deployment of the
thorax-pelvis side air bags. Contact an
authorized electric drive smart center for

Window curtain air bags
Window curtain air bags are designed to
provide increased protection for the head, but not the chest or arms.
Window curtain air bags are deployed
R on the impacted side of the vehicle
R in instances with a high rate of lateral
vehicle deceleration or acceleration
R independently of the front air bags R
regardless of whether the passenger seat
is occupied
R in a rollover if the system determines
that air bag deployment can offer addi-
tional protection to that provided by the
seat belt.
The window curtain air bags are integrated
into the inner side of the roof frame. They
run above the doors from the A-pillar to the B-pillar. :
Window curtain air bags
Thorax-pelvis side air bags
Thorax-pelvis side air bags are designed
to provide increased protection for the
thorax and pelvis, but not the arms.
Thorax-pelvis side air bags are deployed
R on the impacted side of the vehicle
R in instances with a high rate of lateral
vehicle deceleration or acceleration
R independently of the front air bags
R regardless of whether the seat belt on the
impacted side of the vehicle is in use
R independently of the ETDs.
Thorax-pelvis side air bags will generally not deploy in a rollover.
The thorax-pelvis side air bags will
deploy, however, if the system detects
R a high rate of lateral vehicle decelera-
tion or acceleration, and
R that air bag deployment can offer addi-
tional protection to that provided by the
seat belt. 38
