personal injury. Therefore, always do the
following before exiting and leaving the
vehicle:
R Keep right foot on the brake pedal.
R Engage the parking brake.
R Move the gear selector lever to park
position P.
R Slowly release the brake pedal.
R When parked on an incline, always turn
the front wheels towards the curb.

WARNING
Getting out of your vehicle with the
transmission not fully engaged in park
position Pis dangerous. When the drive
system is switched off and the brakes are
released, the vehicle can be moved freely
with the gear selector lever in all
positions except park position P. Also,
when parked on an incline, park position
P alone may not prevent your vehicle from
moving, possibly hitting people or
objects.
Always engage the parking brake in
addition to shifting to park position P.
When parked on an incline, always turn the
front wheels towards the curb. G
WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
key from the starter switch, take it with
you, and lock the vehicle. Do not leave
children unattended in the vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Children
could release the parking brake and/or
move the gear selector lever from park
position P, either of which could result in
an accident and/or serious personal
injury.
Brake pedal The brake pedal has two brake circuits
independent of each other. When the
ignition is switched on, a brake servo is
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

When the hill‑start assist system stops
braking the vehicle, it can roll
backwards.
If you open the driver’s door, the
hill‑start assist system is deactivated
and a warning signal sounds.
Your vehicle has a hill‑start assist system.
On uphill grades the hill‑start assist
system maintains the pressure in the brake
system for approximately one second after
you have released the brake pedal.
Therefore, you can start off smoothly
without the vehicle moving immediately
after releasing the brake pedal.
X Release the brake pedal.
X Apply sufficient pressure to the
accelerator pedal to drive off.
On uphill grades with higher inclination,
the hill-start assist system will release
the pressure in the brake system after
approximately two seconds. A warning
signal sounds and the transmission
position indicator shows a flashing N in
order to warn you of the vehicle rolling
backwards.
X Press the brake pedal.
X Release the brake pedal.
