Protection of the environment
General notes
The declared policy of Daimler AG is one of
comprehensive environmental protection.
The objective is to use the natural resources
which form the basis of our existence on this
planet sparingly and in a manner which takes
the requirements of both nature and humanity
into account.
Everyone can do their part to protect the
environment by operating their vehicles in
an environmentally responsible manner. Fuel
consumption and wear on engine, transmis-
sion, brakes and tyres can be reduced in the
following ways:
Optimising vehicle operating conditions:
RMaintaining the correct tyre pressure.
RNot travelling with unnecessary weight.
RRemoving roof racks when not needed.
RAdhering to service intervals.
RAlways having maintenance work carried
out at a qualified specialist workshop.
Adapting your personal driving style:
RDo not depress the accelerator pedal when
starting the engine.
RDo not run the engine on idle when the vehi-
cle is stationary.
RDrive carefully and maintain a suitable
distance from the vehicle in front.
RAvoid frequent or sudden acceleration and
braking.
ROnly use each gear up to ⅔ of its range.
RSwitch off the engine when waiting in sta-
tionary traffic.
RBe aware of the vehicle's fuel consumption.
Returning an end-of-life vehicle
EU countries only:
smart will take back and dispose of end-of-
life vehicles in an environmentally-respon-
sible manner in accordance with the European
Union (EU) End of Life Vehicles Directive.
Everyone can play a valuable part in protect-
ing resources by returning their vehicle to a
collection point or disassembly plant.
Returning vehicles to these facilities is free
of charge.
For further information on recycling old
vehicles, recovery and the terms of the pol-
icy, visit the smart homepage.
smart genuine parts
HEnvironmental note
Daimler AG also supplies reconditioned
assemblies and parts which are of the same
quality as new parts. For these, the same
warranty applies as for new parts.
! Airbags and seat belt tensioners, as well
as control units and sensors for these
restraint systems, may be installed in the
following areas of your vehicle:
Rdoors
Rdoor pillars
Rdoor sills
Rseats
Rdashboard
Rinstrument cluster
Rcentre console
Do not install accessories such as audio
systems in these areas. Do not carry out
repairs or welding. You could impair the
operating efficiency of the restraint sys-
tems.
Have accessories retrofitted at a qualified
specialist workshop.
Only smart genuine parts or parts of the same
quality may be used. In addition, only
approved wheels, tyres and accessories for
the particular type of vehicle may be used.
Always specify the vehicle identification
number (VIN) when ordering smart genuine
parts.
Using parts, tyres, wheels or safety-relevant
equipment not approved by smart could jeop-
ardise the operational safety of the vehicle.
Safety-relevant systems, such as the brake
system, may malfunction.
smart tests genuine parts and conversion
parts and accessories that have been specif-
ically approved for your vehicle for their
reliability, safety and suitability. Despite
ongoing market research, smart is unable to
assess other parts. smart therefore accepts no
responsibility for the use of such parts in

smart vehicles, even if they have been offi-
cially approved or independently approved
by a testing centre.
In Germany, certain parts are only officially
approved for installation or modification if
they comply with legal requirements. This
also applies to some other countries. All gen-
uine smart parts meet the approval require-
ments. The use of non-approved parts may
invalidate the vehicle's general operating
permit.
The following situations will invalidate the
operating permit:
RThe vehicle type changes from that stated
in the vehicle's operating permit, due to
modifications.
ROther road users are likely to be endan-
gered.
REmissions or noise characteristics dete-
riorate.
Warranty for the smart Audio-System
and smart Media-System
The smart sales organisation provides a war-
ranty for a period of 24 months without a kil-
ometre limit for the smart Audio-System and
the smart Media-System.
The warranty issuer is the respective sales
organisation in the country in which the
accessory or replacement part was purchased
(see list in the service booklet).
Vehicle equipment
This Owner's Manual describes all models and
all standard and optional equipment availa-
ble for the vehicle at the time of publication
of this Owner's Manual. Country-specific
differences are possible. Please note that the
vehicle equipment may differ from certain
descriptions and illustrations provided in
this manual. This is also the case for systems
and functions relevant to safety.
The vehicle's original purchase contract
documentation contains a list of all the sys-
tems in your vehicle. Please contact any smart
centre to help clarify any questions related
to the vehicle equipment and operation.
Operating safety
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you do not have the prescribed service/
maintenance work or necessary repairs
carried out, this could result in malfunc-
tions or system failures. There is a risk of
an accident.
Always have the prescribed service/main-
tenance work as well as necessary repairs
carried out at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
GWARNING
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact
with hot parts of the exhaust system. There
is a risk of fire.
When driving off road or on unpaved roads,
check the vehicle's underside regularly. In
particular, remove parts of plants or other
flammable materials which have become
trapped. In the case of damage, contact a
qualified specialist workshop.
GWARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell may
restrict the clearance around the pedals or
block a depressed pedal. This jeopardises
the operating and road safety of the vehi-
cle. There is a risk of an accident.
Stow all objects securely in the vehicle so
that they do not get into the driver's foot-
well. Always fit the floormats securely and
as prescribed in order to ensure that there
is always sufficient room for the pedals. Do
not use loose floormats and do not place
several floormats on top of one another.
GWARNING
Operating the integrated information sys-
tems and communications equipment in the
vehicle while driving will distract you
from traffic conditions. You could then
