used during braking to increase pedal
force.
G
WARNING
Make sure absolutely no objects are
obstructing the pedals’ range of motion.
Keep the driver’s footwell clear of all
obstacles. If there are any floormats* or
carpets in the footwell, make sure the
pedals still have sufficient clearance.
During sudden acceleration or braking
maneuvers, the objects could get caught
between or beneath the pedals and restrict
your ability to brake or accelerate. This
could lead to accidents and/or injury. G
WARNING
Considerably more effort will be required
to apply the brakes if
R the brake servo has failed
R a brake circuit has failed
R the ignition is switched off, e.g. for
towing the vehicle
The braking distance is likewise greater.
Make sure the drive system is active
whenever the vehicle is rolling. Have the
brake system repaired at an authorized
electric drive smart center, if there is a
fault in the brake system. 76

maintain the value of your vehicle. The
best way to protect your vehicle from
harmful environmental influences is to
wash it and use protective treatments
regularly.

particular container. Always open your vehicle’s doors or windows when cleaning
the inside.

designed for cleaning your vehicle.

keep them out of reach of children.

preferably by hand.
While in operation or even while parked,
your vehicle is subjected to varying
external influences, which left unchecked
can attack the paint as well as the vehicle
underbody and lead to permanent damage.

and varying climatic conditions, but also
by:
R Air pollution
R Road salt

R Gravel and stone chipping
To avoid paint damage, you should
immediately remove:
R Insects
R Bird droppings
R Tree sap, etc.
R Grease and oil
R Brake fluid
R Coolant
R Fuel
R Tar spots

immediately can cause damage to the
