Driving
>Important driving notes!
쮿Drain openings are found in the driver
and passenger seats as well as in the
floor pan so that rain will not collect
on the seat surfaces or in the footwell.
쮿Ensure that the drain holes are clean
and not covered up. Only then can
rainwater freely flow out of the
vehicle.
쮿Never drive with the wind deflector
open; see page 7.
쮿Please put all loose objects away in the
provided stowage compartments prior
to driving. The airstream created inthe
cabin when driving can especially blow
out paper and other lightweight
objects.
쮿For your safety, wear a suitable pair of
protective glasses when driving. A
helmet with a visor will protect your
head from airborne rocks and similar.
Danger of accident!
The crossblade and its safety
systems are intended for use on
surfaced roads only. Driving the
crossblade over any other type of terrain
introduces an increased accident hazard.
In order to avoid this risk, ensure that you
only drive on surfaced roads.
Danger of accident!
Wateranddirtinthedriverfootwell
can lead to the floor mats sliding
and getting caught in between the
pedals. This could lead to an accident.
Therefore, remove any water and dirt
that may have accumulated (especially on
the seats and in the footwell) each time
before you start driving. Ensure that the
pedals have a free range of motion (i.e.
nothing is blocking them) and that the
floor mats cannot slide.

>Important!
Ensure that you read through the detailed smart operating instructions to ensure that you enjoy your smart to the fullest and that you avoid any dangers to yourself and others. - 5
Driving
Driving in the rain
쮿The crossblade is not designed to be
driven in the rain for extended
periods of time.
쮿If you happen to be driving when it is
raining, protect the driver-side
airbag in the steering wheel and the
controls in the centre console by
fitting both covers. Also do this when
parking in the rain.
> You will find both covers in the
drawer in the centre console.
After driving in the rain
- Park the crossblade in a dry and well-
ventilated garage.
- Also be sure to dry off the covers and
the tarpaulin; see page 9.
>Notes on child restraint systems!
- The child restraint systems are only
intended to be used when it is not
raining.
- When using the child restraint system,
pay attention to the airbag indicator
lamp.
Danger of injury!
Always protect the driver-side
airbag with the provided cover when
the vehicle is exposed to the rain. This will
ensure that the airbag retains its
functionality.
Danger of injury!
For your own safety, wear a
suitable pair of protective glasses or a
helmet with a visor when driving.
Dust, rocks and other airborne objects
could be thrown into your face,
distracting and injuring you. This could
ultimately lead to a car accident.

After opening the crossblade with the
radio remote control, you can unlock the
tailgate in the door handle recess (A).
The tailgate can also be opened
mechanically from the outside.
>Important!
Do not place any objects behind the seats
on the luggage compartment.
What you are permitted to load
쮿Luggage compartment volume:
>122l
쮿Gross weight limit:
>250kg
쮿Luggage compartment load weight:
>max.50kg
Reducing the load
- Optional extras and accessories
increasethecurbweight;thisresultsin
a payload reduction.
> Please study the operating
instructions for each individual
accessory part!
Danger of injury!
Objects on the passenger seat
should always be secured in such a way
that they will not distract the driver
during the journey.
Environment!
Unnecessary ballast increases
gross vehicle weight and increases fuel
consumption.
Danger of injury!
Loaded objects must always be
properly tied down. In the event of a
sudden full application of the brakes or in
an accident they could penetrate into the
passenger compartment.
Danger of accident!
Pulling a trailer with the smart
poses increased danger of an accident
and can reduce the longevity of the
vehicle, which is why the manufacturer
does not approve the smart for towing a
trailer. Never use your smart to tow a
trailer.
