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

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
