Maintenance
The Scheduled Maintenance Guide (USA) and
Service Booklet (Canada) describes all the
necessary maintenance work which should
be performed at regular intervals. It is
important that you service your vehicle in
accordance with the prescribed
maintenance schedule. Failure to do so may
render your vehicle unsafe, it may affect
the durability of the vehicle, and it may
otherwise void the limited, express
warranty.
Always have the Scheduled Maintenance
Guide (USA) or Service Booklet (Canada)
with you when you take the vehicle to your
authorized smart center for service. The
service advisor will record each service in
the booklet for you.
Roadside Assistance
The smartmove Assistance (Canada) and
smart 1 service (USA) Program provides
factory trained technical help in the event
of a breakdown. Calls to the toll-free
Roadside Assistance number
1-800-762-7887 (in the USA)
1-877-627-8004 (in Canada)
will be answered by smart Customer
Assistance Representatives 24 hours a day,
365 days a year.
Roadside Assistance will be provided in
accordance with standard program
guidelines which include providing
service to the vehicle up to a reasonable
distance from a paved roadway. We will
make every effort to assist in a breakdown
situation, however, the accessibility of
your vehicle will be determined by our
authorized smart center technician or the
tow service provider on a case-by-case
basis and may be a factor in our ability to
respond.
Additional charges may be applicable for
a breakdown location determined not to be
a reasonably accessible roadside location

Notes on HVAC
GWarning!
Follow the recommended settings for
heating and cooling given on the following
pages. Otherwise the windows could fog up,
impairing visibility and endangering you
and others.
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
the air conditioning is switched off and
you have switched on the blower.
The air conditioning only works when the
engine is running and the blower is
switched on. Maximum effectiveness is
achieved if you drive with the windows
closed.
i In warmer weather, ventilate the
passenger compartment for a short
period of time before utilizing the air
conditioning.

Adjusting air vents
GWarning!
When operating the heating or air
conditioning with climate control*, the
air that enters the passenger compartment
through the air vents can be very hot or very
cold (depending on the set temperature).
This may cause burns or frostbite on
unprotected skin in the immediate area of
the air vents. Always keep sufficient
distance between unprotected parts of the
body and the air vents. If necessary, use the
air distribution control to direct the air
to air vents in the vehicle interior that are
not in the immediate area of unprotected
skin.
To make sure the heating or air
conditioning with climate control* works
properly, please observe the following:
R Keep the air intake grill free from
deposits, e.g. ice or snow, to ensure that
