Follow the recommended settings for
heating and cooling given on the following

Air conditioning with climate control*
The air conditioning improves the level of
comfort when driving at high outside
temperatures by cooling and
dehumidifying the air.
Nearly all dust particles, pollutants, are
filtered out by an integrated particle
filter before outside air enters the
passenger compartment through the air
distribution system. It also operates when

Engine oils are specifically tested for
their suitability in our engines and
durability for our service intervals.
Therefore, only use engine oils and oil
filters required for vehicles with the
Maintenance System. For a listing of
approved engine oils and oil filters
contact an authorized smart center.
! Using engine oils and oil filters of
specification other than those expressly
required for the Maintenance System, or
changing of oil and oil filter at change
intervals longer than those called for bythe Maintenance System will result in
engine or emission control system
damage not covered by the smart Limited

Please follow Maintenance System
recommendations for scheduled oil
changes. Failure to do so will result in

Coolants
The engine coolant is a mixture of water
and anticorrosion/antifreeze, which
provides:
R Corrosion protection
R Freeze protection
R Boiling protection (by increasing the
boiling point)
The cooling system was filled at the factory
with a coolant providing freeze protection
to approximately -35 ¦ (-37 ¥) and
corrosion protection.
! Add premixed coolant solution only.
Adding water and MB 325.0
Anticorrosion/Antifreeze separately
from each other, could cause engine
damage not covered by the smart Limited
Warranty.
If the antifreeze mixture is effective to
-35 ¦ (-37 ¥), the boiling point of the
coolant in the pressurized cooling system
is reached at approximately 266¦ (130 ¥).
The coolant solution must be used year
round, even in countries which have high
temperatures to provide the necessary
corrosion protection and increase
boil‑over protection. Refer to
Maintenance/ Service Booklet for
replacement interval.
Coolant system design and coolant used
determine the replacement interval. The
replacement interval published in the
Maintenance booklet is only applicable if
MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze
solution or other smart approved products
of equal specification are used to renew
the coolant concentration or bring it back
up to the proper level.
For information on other smart approved
products of equal specification, contact an
authorized smart center.
To provide important corrosion
protection, the solution must be at least
50% anticorrosion/antifreeze (equivalent
to freeze protection to approximately
-35 ¦ [-37 ¥]).
If you use a solution that is more than 55%
anticorrosion/antifreeze (freeze
protection to approximately -49 ¦
[(-45 ¥]), the engine temperature will
increase due to the lower heat transfer
capability of the solution. Therefore, do
not use more than this amount of
anticorrosion/antifreeze.
If the coolant level is low, water and
MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze should
be used to bring it up to the proper level
(have cooling system checked for signs of
leakage). Please make sure the mixture is
in accordance with label instructions.
Always use anticorrosion/antifreeze that
have been approved by smart. For
information contact an authorized smart
center.
The water in the cooling system must meet
minimum requirements, which are usually
satisfied by normal drinking water.
If you are not sure about the water quality,
consult an authorized smart center.Service fluids and capacities209>> Technical data.451_AKB; 3; 22, en-USd2ureepe,Version: 2.11.8.12009-07-27T09:36:34+02:00 - Seite 209Z
Anticorrosion/antifreeze
Your vehicle contains a number of
aluminum parts. The use of aluminum
components in motor vehicle engines
necessitates that anticorrosion/
antifreeze coolant used in such engines be
specifically formulated to protect the
aluminum parts.
Failure to use such anticorrosion/
antifreeze coolant will result in a
significantly shortened service life.
Therefore, the following product is
strongly recommended for use in your
vehicle: MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/
Antifreeze agent.
Before the start of the winter season (or
once a year in hot southern regions), you
should have the anticorrosion/antifreeze
concentration checked.
The coolant is also regularly checked each
time you bring your vehicle to an
authorized smart center for service.Anticorrosion/antifreeze quantity:ModelApproximate freeze protection-35 ¦ (-37 ¥)-49 ¦ (-45 ¥)Cooling systemAll models2.27 US qt (2.15 l)2.45 US qt (2.32 l)210Service fluids and capacities>> Technical data.
