WARNING
When operating the heating or air
conditioning with climat econtrol, 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. Air conditioning with climate control

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
fresh air can flow freely into the vehicle
interior.
R Do not obstruct air vents or ventilation
grilles in the vehicle interior.

WARNING
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 driving off.
Also use the "Air conditioning before
start" function (Y page 86).

The rear window defroster serves to de-ice
the rear window quickly and clear the view
if the rear window is fogged.
The rear window defroster uses a large
amount of power. To keep battery drain to a
minimum, switch off the rear window
defroster as soon as the rear window is
clear. The rear window defroster is
automatically deactivated after
approximately 10 minutes of operation. X

"Vehicle Homepage". For this reason, make
sure than no unauthorized persons have
access to your personal area.
After selling the vehicle, you are required
to delete the vehicle from your personal
area on the "Vehicle Homepage". You must
also destroy the vehicle verification code
(VVC) documents.
If you have bought a pre-owned vehicle, it
may be possible that the previous owner
still has access to the "Vehicle Homepage".
For this reason, have a new vehicle
verification code (VVC) reissued to you at
an authorized electric drive smart center
after purchase. With this new code you can
set up the access to your vehicle as
described in the "Personal area setup"
section. Here you can also deactivate the
previous owner's access ,should it still be
active.
Calling up the functions of the "Vehicle
Homepage" If the vehicle is registered in your
personal area of the "Vehicle Homepage",
you can, for example, access the following
functions:
R call up the current charge level
R program the departure time
R activate the "Air conditioning before
start" function
When the vehicle is being charged, you can
call up the estimated charging time and the
attainable range. Both results are
estimated values because, for example,
they are influenced by the following
factors:
R outside temperature
R active electrical consumers, e.g. air
conditioning, lights
R personal driving style
R traffic conditions
Plan for a sufficient reserve accordingly. Connecting the vehicle to the Internet
via powerline If you wish to use the "Vehicle Homepage"
at home, your vehicle must be able to access
the Internet
.This is possible via your DSL
router, for example. This connection is
established by means of the inserted
charging cable using powerline
technology.
The vehicle supports powerline
communicatio naccording to the "HomePlug
AV" standard. Data is transmitted via phase
L1 and the neutral conductor of the power
line.
In order for the vehicle to access the
Internet, you require a commercially
available adapter of the "HomePlug AV"
standard. This adapter must also have an
encryption button so that it can be
configured to communicate with the
vehicle. Connect the adapter to the power
supply as well as your Internet connection.
If the adapter is connected to different
phase than L1, a phase coupler must be
additionally installed. Only in this way
can stable communication be guaranteed.
For questions, consult a qualified
electrician.
i If you already have a powerline network
installed, the vehicle can be integrated
into it.
To establish a connection between the
vehicle and a powerline adapter, carry out
the following:
X Connect the vehicle to a power socket or
a wallbox.
The right 0004indicator lamp on the
vehicle socket must flash green.
X Insert the powerline adapter into a
neighboring power socket. Observe that
the vehicle and the adapter are
connected via phase L1.
X Switch on the ignition.
X Call up the Charge current menu on the
control system (Y page 88). High-voltage battery

tire meets requirements of the U.S.
Department of Transportation. GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) The GAWR is the maximum permissible axle
weight. The gross vehicle weight on each
axle must never exceed the GAWR for the
front and rear axle indicated on the
certification label located on the driver’s
door B‑pillar.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) The GVW comprises the weight of the
vehicle including fuel, tools, installed
accessories, passengers and cargo. The
GVW must never exceed the GVWR indicated
on the certification label located on the
driver’s door B‑pillar.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) This is the maximum permissible vehicle
weight of the fully loaded vehicle (weight
of the vehicle including all options,
passengers, fuel, and cargo. It is indicated
on certification label located on the
driver’s door B‑pillar.
Kilopascal (kPa)
The metric unit for air pressure. There are
6.9 kPa to 1 psi; another metric unit for air
pressure is bars. There are
100 kilopascals (kPa) to 1 bar.
Maximum load rating
The maximum load in kilograms and pounds
that can be carried by the tire.
Maximum loaded vehicle weight
The sum of curb weight, accessory weight,
total load limit and production options
weight.

WARNING
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.
Only brake fluid approved by smart is
recommended. Any authorized electric
