restraints are not properly secured in the
vehicle and/or the child is not properly
secured in the child restraint.
Children too big for a toddler restraint
must ride in a seat using regular seat belt.
Position shoulder belt across chest and
shoulder, not face or neck. A booster seat
may be necessary to achieve proper seat
belt positioning for children over 41 lbs
until they reach a height where a lap-
shoulder belt fits properly without a
booster.
When the child restraint is not in use,
remove it from the vehicle or secure it with
the seat belt to prevent the child restraint
from becoming a projectile in the event of
an accident.
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, even if the children are secured in
a child restraint system. Unsupervised
children in a child restraint system may
use vehicle equipment and may cause an
accident and/or serious personal injury.
If you are using a rear-facing child
restraint system on the passenger seat, you
must verify that the passenger front air bag
is deactivated. When the passenger front
air bag is deactivated, the
007F 007B indicator lamp is
illuminated ( Y page 40).
Top tether
Top tether permits an additional
connection between a child restraint
system and the passenger seat. Proper
usage of the top tether, in accordance with
instructions provided by the child
restraint manufacturer, can further reduce
the risk of injuries.
The top tether anchorage is located on the
floor of the cargo compartment. The top
tether guide for the top tether strap is
located above, on the head restraint.XThread top tether strap 0086 through top
tether guide 0046 down the back of
passenger seat 0047 to top tether

anchorage 008A on the floor of the cargo
compartment.
i If you are using divider plus*, the
hooks of the top tether and the divider
plus* are attached to the same anchorage.
XInstall the child restraint system and
tighten top tether strap 0086 according to
the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.GWarning!
After installing top tether straps, make
sure the seat backrests are in an upright
position and are properly locked. Push and
pull on the seat backrests to ensure they are
properly secured in the locked position. If
a seat backrest is not properly locked, the
seat backrest could fold. The child seat

child. For additional information, see
“Children in the vehicle”.
A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries
is significantly increased if the child
restraints are not properly secured in the
vehicle and/or the child is not properly
secured in the child restraint.GWarning!
Contact an authorized smart center if the
seats have become damaged.
The seat is an integral part of the vehicle’s
safety system in the same way as seat belts
and air bags. Damage to the seats may
reduce their ability to protect the
occupants in an accident.

Air recirculation mode*
Switch to air recirculation mode 13
to
prevent unpleasant odors from entering the
vehicle from the outside (e.g. before
driving through a tunnel). This setting cuts
off the intake of outside air and
recirculates the air in the passenger
compartment.
GWarning!
When the air recirculation mode is
switched on, windows can fog on the inside
immediately. Fogged windows impair
visibility, endangering you and others. If
the windows begin to fog on the inside,
switching off the air recirculation mode
immediately should clear interior window
fogging. If interior window fogging
persists, make sure the air conditioning is
switched on, turn air distribution control
0087 to position 0087 and increase the air
volume using air volume control 0046.

Loading and storing
Cup holder
GWarning!
In order to help prevent spilling liquids
on vehicle occupants and/or vehicle
equipment, only use containers that fit
into the cup holder. Use lids on open
containers and do not fill containers to a
height where the contents, especially hot
liquids, could spill during braking,
vehicle maneuvers, or an accident. Liquids
spilled on vehicle occupants may cause
serious personal injury. Liquids spilled
on vehicle equipment may cause damage not
covered by the smart Limited Warranty.
Keep in mind that objects placed in a cup
holder may come loose during braking,
vehicle maneuvers, or an accident and be
thrown around in the vehicle interior.
Objects thrown around in the vehicle
interior may cause an accident and/or
serious personal injury.
The cup holder can be used to safely store
sealed drink bottles, containers with a lid,
or beverage cans.
! Do not use the cup holder as an ashtray.
Otherwise it could be damaged.

Tire width
Tire width 0046 indicates the nominal tire
width in mm.
Aspect ratio
Aspect ratio 0047 is the dimensional
relationship between tire section height
and section width and is expressed as a
percentage. The aspect ratio is arrived at
by dividing section height by section
width.
Tire code
Tire code 008A indicates the tire
construction type. The “R” stands for radial
tire type. Letter “D” means diagonal or
bias ply construction; letter “B” means
belted-bias ply construction.
At the tire manufacturer’s option, any tire
with a speed capability above 149 mph
(240 km/h) can include a “ZR” in the size
designation (for example: 245/40 ZR 18).
For additional information, see “Tire
speed rating” ( Y page 127).
Rim diameter
Rim diameter 0088 is the diameter of the
bead seat, not the diameter of the rim edge.
Rim diameter is indicated in inches (in).
Tire load ratingGWarning!
The tire load rating must always be at least
half of the GAWR of your vehicle. Otherwise,
tire failure may result and cause an
accident and/or serious personal injury to
you or others.
Always replace rims and tires with the same
designation, manufacturer and type as
shown on the original part.
GWarning!
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.
Tire load rating 0086 is a numerical code
associated with the maximum load a tire
can support.
For example, a load rating of 91
corresponds to a maximum load of 1 356 lbs
(615 kg) the tire is designed to support.
See also “Maximum tire load” ( Y page 122)
where the maximum load associated with
the load index is indicated in kilograms
and lbs.
For additional information on tire load
rating, see “Load identification”
( Y page 128).
Tire speed rating GWarning!
Even when permitted by law, never operate
a vehicle at speeds greater than the
maximum speed rating of the tires.
Exceeding the maximum speed for which
tires are rated can lead to sudden tire
failure, causing loss of vehicle control and
possibly resulting in an accident and/or
personal injury and possible death, for you
and for others.
Regardless of the tire speed rating, local
speed limits should be obeyed. Use prudent
driving speeds appropriate to prevailing
conditions.
Tire speed rating 0087 indicates the
approved maximum speed for the tire.

Tire ply material
iFor illustration purposes only. Actual
data on tires are specific to each vehicle
and may vary from data shown in above

This marking tells you about the type of
cord and number of plies in the
sidewall 0046 and under the tread 0047.
Tire and loading terminology
Accessory weight
The combined weight (in excess of those
standard items which may be replaced) of
automatic transmission, power steering,
power brakes, power windows, power seats,
radio, and heater, to the extent that these
items are available as factory-installed

Air pressure
The amount of air inside the tire pressing
outward on each square inch of the tire. Air
pressure is expressed in pounds per square
inch (psi), or kilopascal (kPa) or bars.
Aspect ratio
Dimensional relationship between tire
section height and section width expressed
in percentage.
Bar
Another metric unit for air pressure. There
are 14.5038 pounds per square inch (psi) to

front and rear axle indicated on the
certification label located on the driver’s
door B‑pillar.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight)

solid, level and not slippery. If necessary,
use a large underlay. On slippery surfaces,
such as tiled floors, you should use a non-
slip underlay, for example a rubber mat.
Do not use wooden blocks or similar objects
to support the jack. Otherwise the jack may
not be able to achieve its load-bearing
capacity if it is not at its full height.
The jack must always be vertical when in
use. Always try to use the jack on level
surface. If you do not position the jack
correctly, the vehicle can fall off the jack
and seriously or fatally injure you or
others.
Never start the engine when the vehicle is
