In order to avoid distraction which could
lead to an accident, the driver should enter
system settings with the vehicle at a
standstill and operate the system only when
road and traffic conditions permit. Always
pay full attention to traffic conditions
first before operating system controls
while driving.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet
(approximately 14 m) every second.
GWarning!
Always select a volume that allows you to
still hear ambient sound in your immediate
vicinity (e.g. horns, emergency rescue
vehicles, police vehicles, etc.). You could
otherwise cause an accident.
GWarning!
If you wish to have a radio other than an
original smart radio fitted in your
vehicle, please always have the necessary
work performed at an authorized smart
center.
This is particularly important if your
vehicle is fitted with a radio
preinstallation. Improper connection can
result in the failure of important vehicle
functions, thereby endangering the
operating safety of your vehicle and thus
your own safety and that of other people.
The following pages contain a brief
description of the audio systems available
for the coupé and cabriolet.
The devices are described with their full
complement of equipment. The description
for your individual equipment
specification applies.
Please refer to the separate operating
instructions for detailed functions.

The smart surround sound system
supplements the existing speakers with
more powerful and additional speakers
(including a digital amplifier in the
passenger footwell and a passive
subwoofer).
Driving systems
Cruise control*
The cruise control maintains the speed you
set for your vehicle automatically. On
downhill grades, the cruise control does
not brake the vehicle via the brake system.
The cruise control can only use the braking
power of the engine. You must apply the
brakes yourself in order to reduce the
vehicle speed. The cruise control will then
be canceled.
GWarning!
The cruise control is a convenience system
designed to assist the driver during
vehicle operation. The cruise control
cannot take road, traffic, and weather
conditions into account. The driver is and
must always remain responsible for the
vehicle’s speed and for safe brake
operation.
Do not use the cruise control
Rif the road, traffic, and weather
conditions do not make it advisable to
travel at a constant speed
Ron slippery roads
Rapid changes in tire traction can result
in wheel spin and loss of control.
Rwhen driving in fog
The use of the cruise control is
recommended for driving at a constant
speed for extended periods of time.
With the cruise control is activated and a
speed set, the following message appears
in the multifunction display:

The air volume is controlled depending on
the blower speed selected. Five blower
speeds are available.

Defrosting
GWarning!
Never drive with iced up or fogged
windows. Visibility will be significantly
impaired. Impaired visibility could
endanger yourself and others. This may
prevent you from observing the traffic
conditions, thereby causing an accident.
The best defrosting of windows is achieved
if the ice is completely removed from the
windows manually with an ice scraper
before starting the engine.

Air recirculation mode*
Switch to air recirculation mode 12
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.

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

The first 1000 miles (1500 km)
In the Operation section you will find
detailed information on operating,
maintaining and caring for your vehicle.
The more cautiously you treat your vehicle
during the break-in period, the more
satisfied you will be with its performance
later on.
R Drive your vehicle during the first
1 000 miles (1 500 km) at varying but
moderate vehicle and engine speeds.
R During this period, avoid heavy loads
(full throttle driving) and excessive
engine speeds (no more than 2
/ 3 of
maximum rpm in each gear).
R Shift gears in a timely manner.
R Do not attempt to slow the vehicle down
by shifting to a lower gear.
R Avoid accelerating by kickdown.
After 1 000 miles (1 500 km), you may
gradually increase vehicle and engine
speeds to the permissible maximum.
All of the above instructions also apply
when driving the first 1 000 miles (1 500 km)
after the engine has been replaced.
i Always obey applicable speed limits.

Refueling
GWarning!
Gasoline is highly flammable and
poisonous. It burns violently and can cause
serious personal injury.
Never allow sparks, flame or smoking
materials near gasoline!
Turn off the engine before refueling.
Whenever you are around gasoline, avoid
inhaling fumes and skin or clothing
contact. Extinguish all smoking materials.
Direct skin contact with fuels and the
inhalation of fuel vapors are damaging to
your health.
! Do not put diesel fuel in vehicles with
gasoline engines. Do not mix gasoline
with diesel fuel. Even small quantities
of diesel fuel will damage the injection
system. Damage caused by adding diesel
fuel will not be covered by the smart
Limited Warranty.
If diesel fuel has mixed with gasoline,
do not start the engine. Otherwise the
catalytic converter will be irreparably
damaged.
Contact an authorized smart center or
Roadside Assistance immediately and
have the vehicle towed.
! Damage resulting from mixing gasoline
with diesel fuel is not covered by the
smart Limited Warranty.
The fuel filler flap is located on the
passenger side towards the rear. Locking/
unlocking the vehicle with the key
automatically locks/unlocks the fuel filler
flap.

Brake fluid
GWarning!
During vehicle operation, the boiling
point of the brake fluid is continuously
reduced through the absorption of moisture
from the atmosphere. Under extremely
strenuous operating conditions, this
moisture content can lead to the formation
of bubbles in the system, thus reducing the
system’s efficiency.
Therefore, the brake fluid must be replaced
regularly. Refer to your vehicle’s
Maintenance Booklet for replacement
interval.
The brake fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir may be too low if the brake
warning lamp in the instrument cluster
comes on (Y page 22) although the parking
brake is released.
! If you find that the brake fluid in the
brake fluid reservoir has fallen to the
minimum mark or below, have the brake
system checked for brake pad thickness
and leaks immediately. Contact an
authorized smart center immediately. Do
not add brake fluid as this will not solve
the problem.
XRemove the service flap and insert it on
the front of the vehicle (Y page 122).
The brake fluid reservoir is located in the
front compartment on the passenger side.
