Preparing the vehicle
Upon experiencing any type of problem
with the vehicle’s tires, switch on the
hazard warning flasher, carefully slow
down and exit the roadway in a cautious
manner.
XPark the vehicle at a safe distance from
moving traffic on a hard, flat surface
when possible.XMake sure the tire valve of the damaged
tire is located below the horizontal axle
of the wheel hub.XEngage the parking brake.XTurn the steering wheel so that the front
wheels are in a straight ahead position.XMove the gear selector lever to park
position P.XTurn off the engine.XRemove the key from the starter switch
and take the key with you.
i Open door only when conditions are safe
to do so.
XHave any passenger exit the vehicle at a
safe distance from the roadway.
Using the tire repair kit
! Depending on the type of damage on the
tire, the tire sealant could damage the
sensor of the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)*. Such damage is not
covered by the smart Limited Warranty.
When having the damaged tire replaced,
also have the TPMS sensors* checked for
proper function. When the sensor is
damaged, the TPMS* will not function
properly. The sensor must then be
replaced at an authorized smart center as
soon as possible.

adversely affect handling and fuel
economy, and are more likely to fail from
being overheated.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated
tires can adversely affect handling and
ride comfort, wear unevenly, increase
stopping distance, and result in sudden
deflation (blowout) because they are more
likely to become punctured or damaged by
road debris, potholes etc.
Do not overload the tires by exceeding the
specified load limit as indicated on the
Tire and Loading Information placard on
the driver’s door B‑pillar. Overloading the
tires can overheat them, possibly causing
a blowout. Overloading the tires can also
result in handling or steering problems, or
brake failure.XDrive to the nearest authorized smart
center, to have the damaged tire
replaced.XContact an authorized smart center as
soon as possible to obtain a new filler
hose and a new tire sealant container.XBring used tire sealant materials to an
authorized smart center for proper
disposal.XReplace your tire sealant container
every 4 years. Replacement containers
are available at any authorized smart
center.GWarning!
After changing a tire, contact a smart
center to make sure the bolts holding the
wheel to the car are tight enough.
Otherwise, the wheels could come off. Each
bolt should be tightened to a torque of
81 lb‑ft (110 Nm).

Removing the wheel
GWarning!
When jacking up the vehicle, only use a
suitable jack. Observe the manufacturer’s
safety instructions.
The jack must be designed for jacking up
this vehicle at the jack take-up brackets
built into both sides of the vehicle.
The jack is intended only for lifting the
vehicle briefly for wheel changes. It is not
suited for performing maintenance work
under the vehicle. To help avoid personal
injury, use the jack only to lift the vehicle
during a wheel change.
Never get beneath the vehicle while it is
supported by the jack. Keep hands and feet
away from the area under the lifted vehicle.
Always lower the vehicle onto sufficient
capacity jackstands before working under
the vehicle.
Always firmly engage the parking brake and
block the wheels with wheel chocks or other
sizeable objects before raising the
vehicle with the jack. Do not release the
parking brake while the vehicle is raised.
Make sure the ground on which the vehicle
is standing and where you place the jack is

Moreover, tires and rims not approved by
smart may, under load, exhibit
dimensional variations and different
tire deformation characteristics that
could cause them to come into contact
with the vehicle body or axle parts.
Damage to the tires or the vehicle may be
the result.
