following:
Danger of injury!
Take the car to a qualified spe!
cialist workshop, e.g. a smart center if
the seats have become damaged.
The seat is an integral part of the car's
safety system in the same way as
e.g. seat belts and airbags. Its safety
function can only be upheld if the seats
are free of damage.

! Reposition the seat or bench seat.
! Release the handle.
Danger of injury!
Do not insert your hands into the
seat rail when adjusting the seat's lon!

considerable risk of injury.
The front seats and the rear bench seat
can be adjusted forward or back.

Seat belts
Danger of injury!
If you do not fit the seat belt cor!
rectly or do not engage it properly in
the catch, it will be unable to protect
you in the manner intended. In certain
circumstances this could result in se!
rious or even fatal injuries. You should
therefore make sure that all occupants
! particularly pregnant women ! are al!
ways wearing their seat belt correctly.
Make sure that the belt

possible, i.e. across the hip joint
and not across the stomach.

Seat belts
Danger of injury!
Persons less than 150 centimetres
tall and children under 12 years of age
will be unable to fit the seat belts cor!
rectly. They consequently require ad!
ditional restraint systems* mounted on
suitable car seats (e.g. child seats or
child booster seats) for added protec!
tion in the event of an accident. Please
also always observe the fitting in!
structions supplied by the manufactur!
er of the child restraint systems*.
Danger of injury!
The seat belt only provides the
intended degree of occupant restraint
if the backrest is almost vertical and
the occupant is sitting upright. Avoid
seated positions that prevent the seat
belt from lying correctly across the
wearer's body. For this reason, posi!
tion the backrest as vertically as pos!
sible. Never drive with a backrest
reclined well back. You otherwise risk
sustaining serious injury in the event
of an accident or abrupt braking, with
potentially fatal consequences in the
case of accidents.
Danger of injury!
The seat belt may no longer func!
tion correctly if the belt or catch is
dirty or damaged. For this reason, keep
the belt and catch clean, as the buckle
may otherwise not engage properly.
Check the seat belts regularly to ensure
that
! they are not damaged,
! they are not running across sharp
edges,
! they are not trapped.
The belt could otherwise tear in the
event of an accident. You or others
could sustain serious or fatal injuries
as a result.
If seat belts have been damaged or sub!
jected to high loads in an accident,
have them replaced and have the belt
anchorages checked.
For safety reasons, smart gmbh recom!
mends using only seat belts that smart
gmbh has specifically approved for
your vehicle.

Modifications or work performed
inexpertly to a restraint system (seat

Airbag disabling
Danger of injury!
An incorrectly installed child
seat could become dislodged in an ac!
cident or by braking manoeuvres or an
abrupt change of direction and cause
serious or even fatal injuries to the
child and other occupants.
For this reason, never place other ob!
jects (such as cushions) beneath the
child restraint system*. The entire
base area of the child restraint system
must always be in contact with the seat
surface.

Airbag disabling
Danger of injury!
To reduce the risk of serious or
even fatal injuries to the child in the
event of an accident, braking manoeu!
vres or sudden changes of direction,
please note the following:
! On child restraint systems* that do
not have their own belt system, the
shoulder belt of the car's built!in
three!point seat belt must run ap!
proximately across the middle of the
child's shoulder ! never across the
neck ! and lie firmly against the up!
per body. The lap section of the seat
belt must run across the pelvis ! not
across the stomach ! and always lie
firmly in place. Tighten the belt if
necessary.
Danger of injury!
If the child restraint system* or
its fastenings have previously been
damaged or subjected to loads in an ac!
cident, the child it is intended to pro!
tect could sustain serious or even fatal
injuries as a result of another acci!
dent, braking manoeuvres or abrupt
changes of direction.
You should therefore have restraint
systems and fastenings that have been
damaged or subjected to loads in an ac!
cident checked without delay in a qual!
ified specialist workshop, such as a
smart center, and have them replaced if
necessary.

Airbags
Airbag operating principle
The airbag is inflated in a matter of mil!
liseconds. The indicator light comes on.
>Note!
If the airbags are activated, you will
hear a loud noise and some dust may be
generated. The explosion fundamentally
represents no risk to your hearing, and
the dust is harmless.
The inflated airbag slows and reduces
the movement of the occupant. When the
occupant makes contact with the airbag,
hot gas flows out of the inflated front
airbags and side airbags. This reduces
the load on the occupant's head and upper
body. These airbags are consequently de!
flated after the accident.
Danger of injury!
After airbags have been inflated:
! airbag components will be hot. Do not
touch them as you otherwise risk sus!
taining burns.
! the airbags must be changed by a
qualified specialist workshop,
which will have the necessary exper!
tise and tools for performing the
work involved. smart gmbh recom!
mends that you visit a smart center
for this. It is particularly important
to have safety!relevant work and work
on safety!relevant systems per!
formed by a qualified specialist
workshop.
Danger of injury!
A small amount of fine powder is
released for a short period when an
airbag is inflated. This fine powder is
entirely harmless; its smoky appear!
ance does not indicate a fire in the car.
The fine powder could provoke tempo!
rary breathing difficulties in people
with asthma or respiratory problems.
To avoid these breathing difficulties,
such persons should either leave the
car provided it is safe to do so, or open
the windows to let fresh air in.

Airbags
Danger of injury!
In the interests of safety, smart
gmbh recommends that seat covers that
have been tested for cars built by smart
gmbh and have a designated tear seam
be used on cars with side airbags. A
side airbag could otherwise fail to de!
ploy correctly and achieve its intended
protective potential in the event of an
accident.
Danger of injury!
If the airbag indicator light
does not come on when a baby carrier is
fitted to the passenger's seat, the pas!
senger's airbag has not been deactivat!
ed. If the passenger's airbag has not
been deactivated, a child could sustain
serious or even fatal injuries in the
event of the airbag on the passenger's
side being triggered, particularly if
the child is in the immediate vicinity
of the passenger's airbag at the time of
its activation.
The passenger's airbag is only deacti!
vated when you fit an original smart
baby carrier to the passenger's seat.

Airbags
Side airbags
The side airbags are integrated into the
driver's and front passenger's seat back!
rests. If activated, they are intended to
increase the potential protection for the
thorax (but not the head, neck and arms) of
the occupants on the side of the car that
is struck.
Danger of injury!
To minimise the risk of injury if
a side airbag deploys, you should en!
sure that
! there are no other persons, pets or
objects between each occupant and
the range protected by a side airbag.
! only lightweight garments are hung
from the clothes hooks in the car.
! there are no heavy or sharp!edged
objects in the pockets of such gar!
ments.
Danger of injury!
Observe the following notes to
reduce the risk of serious or fatal in!
juries if the side airbag deploys:
! Occupants ! particularly children !
should never rest their head on the
area around the window from which
the side airbag could emerge if de!
ployed.
! The car's occupants must always be
wearing a seat belt correctly and re!
cline against a backrest that is more
or less upright.
! Always secure children under 150
centimetres (approx. 5 feet) tall and
under 12 years of age with suitable
child restraint systems*.

Airbags
Side head!level airbags (windowbags)*
The windowbags are integrated into the
roof frame. They run along the top edges
of the doors on the left and right, from
the windscreen to the rear seats. Only the
windowbags on the side that is struck are
activated in the event of an accident, and
are intended to increase the protective
potential for the head (but not the thorax
or arms) of any occupants on the side that
is struck.
Danger of injury!
So that the windowbag can realise
its protective potential if activated,
ensure that:
! there are no other persons, pets or
objects between the occupants and
the range protected by the window!
bags,
! only lightweight garments are hung
from the clothes hooks in the car,
! there are no heavy or sharp!edged

Airbags
Danger of injury!
If the airbag indicator light
does not come on when a baby carrier is
fitted to the passenger's seat, the pas!
senger's airbag has not been deactivat!
ed. If the passenger's airbag has not
been deactivated, a child could sustain
serious or even fatal injuries in the
event of the airbag on the passenger's
side being triggered, particularly if
the child is in the immediate vicinity
of the passenger's airbag at the time of
its activation.
The passenger's airbag is only deacti!
vated when you fit an original smart
baby carrier to the passenger's seat.
Danger of injury!
For this reason, you should never
carry a child on the passenger's seat in
a child restraint system that faces to
the rear if the passenger's airbag has
not been deactivated, i.e. if the airbag
indicator light is not lit.
Also observe the corresponding warn!
ing sticker on the instrument panel.
If you have installed an original smart
baby carrier on the passenger's seat
and the airbag indicator light does not
come on (restraint system not identi!
fied), have the automatic restraint sys!
tem recognition function checked
without delay by a qualified specialist
workshop, such as a smart center.
Until this problem has been rectified,
do not carry children in the car, as they
could sustain serious or even fatal in!
juries in the event of an accident.
Danger of injury!
If the indicator light does not
come on when you switch the ignition
on, or does not go out again after a few
seconds once the engine is running or
comes on again, there is a fault. There
is the possibility of individual sys!
tems being activated unintentionally
or not being triggered off in an acci!
dent involving a high rate of decelera!
tion. In this instance, have the safety
system checked and repaired immedi!
ately by a qualified specialist work!

larly important to have safety!relevant
work and work on safety!relevant sys!

Accident risk!
The ball head is only securely
fitted if the green mark on the hand!
wheel is aligned with the green mark on
the ball head and the key can be re!

ball head is locked and unable to work
loose during a journey.
If the ball head cannot be locked and
the key cannot be removed, take off the
ball head and clean it (see also page 7!

Fuel is a very flammable liquid.
Fire, naked flames and smoking are
therefore prohibited when handling
fuel.
Avoid allowing fuel to come into con!
tact with your skin or clothes. You will
damage your health if

>Note!
If you wish to fill the fuel tank to its
maximum level,
! wait for a period of five seconds after
the first switch off,

Accident risk!
Insufficient tyre pressure leads
to
! excessive tyre heat build!up,
! increased tyre wear and an increased
risk of causing an accident due to
tyre pressure loss and changes to
driving stability,
! increased fuel consumption.
High tyre pressure leads to
! a longer brake distance,
! poorer traction from all tyres and
! increased, uneven wear.
Tyres that are inflated too high are
moreover more susceptible to damage
and therefore increase the general risk
of accidents.
Accident risk!
Always inflate your car's tyres to
the specified pressures. The tempera!
ture and pressure of the tyres rise dur!
ing operation. For this reason, never
reduce the tyre pressure of tyres while
warm. The pressure of the tyres would
then be too low once they had cooled
down. If tyre inflation pressure is too
low, tyres could be damaged, particu!
larly if the car is carrying a high load
and is travelling at high speed.
Tyre damage could e.g. result in a tyre
bursting, causing you to lose control
over your car; you or others could be
injured as a result.
You should therefore check the tyre in!
flation pressure regularly, but at least
every 14 days.

The tyre inflation pressures quoted for
low car loads are minimum values which

technically appropriate. The standard of
ride comfort will, however, be slightly
lower.
Tyre inflation pressures change by about

perature. Always adjust the tyre infla!
tion pressure when you have loaded up the
car. Observe the maximum tyre pressure
for the tyres.

Washing the car's exterior
Things you should watch out for before
washing your car!
! Remove caked!on grime such as
! dead insects, bird droppings and
tree resins,
! oils, grease, fuel and tar.
! Do not aim the high!pressure cleaning
jet directly on the vehicle's seals.
Accident risk!
After washing the car, the brakes
may still be wet and thus their func!
tionality impaired. Therefore, when
you start off, brake lightly several
times without endangering traffic.
Removing insects
Remove insects before you start to wash
the car.
! Use the smartcare insect remover
spray.
! After this, allow the insect remover to
work itself in for a few minutes.
! Rub it in lightly with a damp cloth or
sponge.
! Rinse off thoroughly with a generous
supply of water.
! Apply hard wax to the cleansed surface.
Removing tar
Remove any tar marks before washing the
car.
! Apply the tar remover with a damp
cloth.
! After this, allow the tar remover to
work itself in for a few minutes.
! Rub it in lightly.
! Rinse off thoroughly with a generous

Tips on battery care
! Your car's battery requires no mainte!
nance in normal vehicle operation
(DIN 43539/T2).
However, have the battery's charge sta!
tus and acid level checked at the start
of the cold season by a qualified spe!
cialist workshop, e.g. a smart center.
! The battery stoppers on the top must be
opened to check the acid level. Acid
must come up to MAX mark.

ed by the battery represents an explo!
sion risk. Avoid causing sparks. Do not
use any naked flames or smoke within
the vicinity of the battery. Do not touch
the battery terminal with metal objects
and do not remove the battery charger's
terminal clamps until the battery
charger has been switched off and no
further gas is being discharged by the

Driving over curbs or sharp!
edged objects can cause damage to the
tyre's carcass that is not externally
visible. Damage to the tyre's carcass
will only become evident much later

Accident risk!
Never clean tyres with high!
pressure equipment. This could lead to
tyre damage and failure. You could con!
sequently cause an accident or injure
other persons.
Interchanging wheels
Accident risk!
Only interchange the front and
rear wheels if they are of the same di!
mensions, e.g. rim size, wheel offset.
On cars with the same size of wheels all
round, depending on the level of wear you
can interchange the wheels every 5,000 to
10,000 kilometres (approx. 3,000 to 6,000
miles). Always keep a wheel's direction
of rotation the same.
The front and rear wheels will wear at
different rates, depending on the oper!
ating conditions. Interchange the wheels
before a characteristic wear pattern has
become established on the tyres.
Clean the contact surface of the wheels
and brake disc/inner side of the wheel
each time the wheels are changed. Check
the tyre pressure.

premium plus,
EN 228, at least
98RON1/88MON
1 The petrol engines are designed to run on unleaded petrol of at least 95RON/85MON (130 kW: 98RON/88MON). In countries in which unleaded fuel with at least 95RON/
85MON (130 kW: 98RON/88MON) is not available, you can use unleaded fuel with 91RON (130 kW: 95RON) in emergencies. This, however, can reduce engine output and in!
crease fuel consumption. When subjected to heavy loads while burning grade 91RON fuel (130 kW: 95RON), engine damage could result. smart recommends that you always
run your petrol engine on unleaded petrol with a minimum grade of 95RON/85MON (130 kW: 95RON/88MON).
