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

over an obstacle, road debris or a pothole,
may cause serious damage and impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
If you feel a sudden significant vibration
or ride disturbance, or you suspect that
damage to your vehicle has occurred, you
should turn on your hazard warning
flashers, carefully slow down, and drive
with caution to an area which is a safe
distance from the road.
Inspect the vehicle underbody and tires/
wheels for possible damage. If the vehicle
appears unsafe, have it towed to the nearest
authorized smart center or other qualified
maintenance or repair facility for further
inspection or repairs.

Proper use of the vehicle requires that you
are familiar with the following
information and rules:
R the safety precautions in this manual
R the “Technical data” section in this
manual
R traffic rules and regulations
R motor vehicle laws and safety standards
GWarning!
Various warning labels are attached to your
vehicle. These warning labels are intended
to make you and others aware of various
risks. You should not remove any of these
warning labels unless explicitly
instructed to do so by information on the
label itself. Removal of any of these labels
may cause you and others to be unaware of
certain risks which may result in an
accident and/or personal injury.
