as determined by our authorized
technician and tow service provider.
For additional information refer to the
smart Roadside Assistance Program
brochure in your vehicle literature
portfolio.

Operating safety
GWarning!
Work improperly carried out on electronic
components and associated software could
cause them to cease functioning. Because
the vehicle’s electronic components are
interconnected, any modifications made
may produce an undesired effect on other
systems. Electronic malfunctions could
seriously impair the operating safety of
your vehicle.
See an authorized smart center for repairs
or modifications to electronic
components.
Improper work or modifications on other
vehicle systems could also have a negative
impact on the operating safety of the
vehicle.
GWarning!
Some safety systems only function while the
engine is running. You should therefore
never turn off the engine while driving.
GWarning!
Heavy blows against the vehicle underbody
or tires/wheels, for example when running
