2013 SMART FORTWO COUPE sensor

Checking tire inflation pressure
manually
Follow the steps below to achieve correct
tire inflation pressure:
X Remove the cap from the valve on one tire.
X Firmly press a tire gauge onto the valve.
X Read the tire inflation pressure on tire
gauge and check against the
recommended tire inflation pressure on
the Tire and Loading Information
placard on the driver’s door B‑pillar
(Y page 128). If necessary, add air to
achieve the recommended tire inflation
pressure.
X If you have overfilled the tire, release
tire inflation pressure by pushing the
metal stem of the valve with e.g. a tip of
a pen. Then recheck the tire inflation
pressure with the tire gauge.
X Install the valve cap.
X Repeat this procedure for each tire.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)* Your vehicle may be equipped with a
Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
It monitors the tire inflation pressure in
all four tires .Awarning is issued to alert
you to a decrease in pressure in one or more
of the tires.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) is equipped with a combination low
tire pressure/TPMS malfunction telltale in
the instrument cluster. Depending on how
the telltale illuminates, it indicates a low
tire pressure condition or a malfunction in
the TPMS system itself:
R If the telltale illuminates continuously,
one or more of your tires is significantly
underinflated. There is no malfunction
in the TPMS.
R If the telltale flashes for 60 seconds and
then stays illuminated, the TPMS system
itself is not operating properly. The TPMS only functions on wheels that are
equipped with the proper electronic
sensors. G
WARNING
The TPMS does not indicate a warning for
wrongly selected inflation pressures.
Always adjust tire inflation pressure
according to the Tire and Loading
Information placard on the driver’s door
B‑pillar.
The TPMS is not able to issue a warning due
to a sudden dramatic loss of pressure (e.g.
tire blowout caused by a foreign object). In
this case bring the vehicle to a halt by
carefully applying the brakes and avoiding
abrupt steering maneuvers. G
WARNING
Each tire should be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
on the Tire and Loading Information
placard. If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on
the Tire and Loading Information placard,
you should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly
underinflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly underinflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead
to tire failure.
Underinflation also increases energy
consumption, reduces tire tread life, and
may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS
is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver’s Tires and wheels
125>> Operation.

Preparing the vehicle
Upon experiencing any type of problem
with the vehicle’s tires, switch on the
hazard warning flasher, carefully slow
down and exit the roadway in a cautious
manner.
X Park the vehicle at a safe distance from
moving traffic on a hard, flat surface
when possible.
X Make sure the tire valve of the damaged
tire is locate dbelow the horizontal axle
of the wheel hub.
X Engage the parking brake.
X Turn the steering wheel so that the front
wheels are in a straight ahead position.
X Move the gear selector lever to park
position P.
X Switch off the drive system.
X Remove the key from the starter switch
and take the key with you.
i Open door only when conditions are safe
to do so.
X Have any passenger exit the vehicle at a
safe distance from the roadway. Using the tire repair kit
! Depending on the type of damage on the
tire, the tire sealant could damage the
sensor of the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)*. Such damage is not
covered by the smart Limited Warranty.
When having the damaged tire replaced,
also have the TPMS sensors* checked for
proper function. When the sensor is
damaged, the TPMS* will not function
properly. The sensor must then be
replaced at an authorized electric drive
smart center as soon as possible.
i Depending on production date of your
vehicle, it will be equipped with version
1 or version 2 of the tire repair kit. 180

Install last wheel bolt and tighten it
slightly.
X Lower the vehicle until the vehicle is
resting fully on its own weight.
X Remove the jack.
X Tighten the wheel bolts. Observe a
tightening torque of 80 lb-ft (110 Nm). G
WARNING
Have the tightening torque checked after
changing awheel. The wheels could come
loose if they are not tightened to a torque
of 80 lb-ft (110 Nm).
i The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)* only functions on wheels that are
equipped with the proper electronic
sensors (Y page 125). Batteries
Notes on the vehicle’s electrical
system
The vehicle’s electrical system provides
power for the electric drive and all
electrical consumers or components of the
vehicle.
Power is supplied to the vehicle via two
batteries:
R 12-volt battery
R High-voltage battery Notes on the 12‑volt battery
Your vehicle’s 12‑volt battery is located in
the passenger footwell below the footrest
(Y page 192).
The 12 volt battery should always be
sufficiently charged in order to achieve
its rated service life. Refer to the
Scheduled Maintenance Guide (USA only) or
the Service booklet (Canada only) for
battery maintenance intervals.
If you use your vehicle mostly for short-
distance trips, you will need to have the 12 volt battery charge checked more
frequently.
When replacing the battery, always use
batteries approved by smart. For
information, contact an authorized
electric drive smart center.
If you do not intend to operat
eyour vehicle
for an extended period of time, consult an
authorized electric drive smart center
about steps you need to observe. G
WARNING
Observe all safety instructions and
precautions when handling automotive
batteries. Risk of explosion.
Fire, open flames and
smoking are prohibited
when handling batteries.
Avoid creating sparks.
Battery acid is caustic.
Do not allow it to come
into contact with skin,
eyes or clothing.
Wear suitable protective
clothing, especially
gloves, apron and
faceguard.
Wear eye protection.
Rinse any acid spills
immediately with clear
water. Contact a physician
if necessary.
Keep children away.

About towing
This section offers information on towing
methods for breakdown situations and
emergency towing. Recommended towing method -
Breakdown situation
! To prevent damage during transport, do
not tie down the vehicle by its chassis or
suspension parts — use only wheel straps
to position and hold down the vehicle.
Improper tie down on a flatbed carrier
truck or trailer can damage suspension
parts and body panels.
smart recommends that the vehicle be
transported with all wheels off the ground
using a flatbed carrier truck or
appropriate wheel lift/dolly equipment.
Always have your vehicle transported:
R when the 0002warning lamp for the high-
voltage system lights up in the
instrument cluster
R when the Do not tow (away) message
appears in the instrument cluster
R when the multifunction display is
inoperative R
when one or several of the following
warning lamps light up:
-0001 Drive diagnostics (red)
- 0004 12‑Volt battery
0002 Power steering
R if the brake pedal already starts to
pulsate just after towing begins
R if you have to transport the vehicle over
long distances
X Switch off the tow‑away protection* and
interior motion sensor* (Y page 47). Emergency towing
When circumstances do not permit the
recommended towing method, the vehicle
may be towed with all wheels on the ground
using a strap or tow bar connected to
another vehicle. Only tow the vehicle as far
as necessary to have the vehicle moved to a
safe location where the recommended
towing method can be employed. 196
