2014 SMART FORTWO COUPE ELECTRIC DRIVE radio

function exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may
not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation of
incompatible replacement or alternate
tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement
or alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function properly.
i If a condition causing the TPMS to mal-
function develops, it may take up to
10 minutes for the system to signal a mal-
function using the TPMS telltale flash-
ing and illumination sequence.
The telltale extinguishes after a few
minutes driving if the malfunction has
been corrected.
i Operating radio transmission equip-
ment (e.g. wireless headsets, two-way
radios) in or near the vehicle could
cause the TPMS to malfunction.

Restarting the TPMS G
WARNING
It is the driver’s responsibility to cali-
brate the TPMS on the recommended cold
inflation pressure. Underinflated tires
affect the ability to steer or brake and
might cause you to lose control of the vehi-
cle.
When you restart the TPMS, the system sets
new reference values for each tire.
The TPMS must be restarted when you have
adjusted the tire inflation pressure to a
new level (e.g. because of different load or
driving conditions). The TPMS is then
recalibrated to the current tire inflation
pressures.
X Using the Tire and Loading Information
placard on the driver’s door B‑pillar
(Y page 134), make sure the tire infla-
tion pressure of all four tires is correct.
i Restart the TPMS after adjusting the
tire inflation pressure to the inflation
pressure recommended for the vehicle
operating condition. Tire pressure
should only be adjusted on cold tires.
Observe the recommended tire inflation
pressure on the Tire and Loading Infor-
mation placard on the driver’s door

The TIN is a unique identifier which facil-
itates efforts by tire manufactures to
notify purchasers in recall situations or
other safety matters concerning tires and
gives purchasers the means to easily iden-
tify such tires.
The TIN is comprised of “Manufacturer’s
identification mark” 0044, “Tire size”0087,
“Tire type code” 0085, and “Date of manufac-
ture” 0083.
i For illustration purposes only. Actual
data on tires are specific to each vehicle
and may vary from data shown in above
illustration.
DOT (Department of Transportation) Tire branding symbol
0043which denotes the
tire meets requirements of the U.S. Depart-
ment of Transportation.
Manufacturer’s identification mark Manufacturer’s identification mark
0044
denotes the tire manufacturer.
New tires have a mark with two symbols.
Retreaded tires have a mark with four sym-
bols. For more information on retreaded
tires (Y page 127).
Tire size Code
0087indicates the tire size. Tire type code Tire type code
0085may, at the option of the
manufacturer, be used as a descriptive
code for identifying significant charac-
teristics of the tire.
Date of manufacture Date of manufacture
0083identifies the week
and year of manufacture.
The first two figures identify the week,
starting with “01” to represent the first
full week of the calendar year. The second
two figures represent the year.
For example, “3202” represents the 32nd
week of 2002. Tire ply material

Standing water
Do not drive through flooded areas or water
of unknown depth. Before driving through
water, determine its depth. Never acceler-
ate before driving into water.

drive slowly to prevent water from entering

WARNING
Always fasten items being carried as
securely as possible.
In an accident, during hard braking or sud-
den maneuvers, loose items thrown around
inside the vehicle may injure vehicle
occupants.

WARNING
Please do not forget that your primary
responsibility is to drive the vehicle
safely. Only operate the radio or tele- phone

if road, weather and traffic condi-
tions permit.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approx-
imately 14 m) every second.
Telephones and two-way radios G
WARNING
Never operate radio transmitters equipped
with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e.
without being connected to an external
antenna) from inside the vehicle while the
drive system is switched on. Doing so could
lead to a malfunction of the vehicle’s elec-
tronic system, possibly resulting in an
accident and/or serious personal injury.
Radio transmitters, such as a mobile phone
or a citizens band unit should only be used
inside the vehicle if they are connected to
an antenna that is installed on the outside
of the vehicle.
Refer to the radio transmitter operation
instructions regarding use of an external
antenna. Coolant temperature
During severe operating conditions and
stop-and-go city traffic, the coolant tem-
perature may rise.
! Excessive coolant temperature causes
the red coolant temperature warning
lamp 00AC in the instrument cluster to
come on.
The drive system should not be operated
with the red coolant temperature warn-
ing lamp 00ACilluminated. Doing so may
cause serious damage to the drive system
and the high-voltage battery, which is
not covered by the smart Limited War-
ranty.

Retrofitting electrical and electronic
devices
Electrical and electronic devices can
endanger vehicle operating safety.
! Damage or consequential damage due to
retrofitting a device in the vehicle is
not covered by smart’s warranty.
If you install telephones or radio trans-
mitters in the vehicle you must have such
retrofits approved. smart approves the
installation of telephones and radio devi-
ces if the work is done professionally and
the device is connected to a low-reflection
exterior antenna.
The transmitting power of the telephone or
radio must not exceed the following maxi-
mum values. Frequency range
(band) Maximum transmit-
ting power (Watts)
Short wave
(<50 MHz) 100
2 m wavelength 50
0.7 m wavelength 35
0.25 m wavelength 10

WARNING
Radio transmitters can interfere with the
vehicle’s electronic system, endanger the
operating safety of the vehicle and thus
your own safety, if
R there is no external antenna
R the external antenna is not low-reflec-
tion
R the external antenna is incorrectly
installed
Excessive electromagnetic radiation can
damage your health and that of others.
Using an external antenna addresses and
considers the concerns currently being
discussed in scientific circles about the health hazards possibly posed by electro-
magnetic fields.
Because of this, have the external antenna
installed exclusively at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required, e.g. at a smart center. In
particular, work relevant to safety or on
safety-related systems must be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
