Introduction
G
WARNING
The following factors increase the risk of
accidents:
R Excessive speed, especially in turns
R Wet and slippery road surfaces
R Following another vehicle too closely
The driving safety systems described in
this section cannot reduce these risks or
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle.
Always adapt your driving style to the pre-
vailing road and weather and traffic con-
ditions and keep a safe distance to other
road users and objects on the street.
i In winter operation, the maximum
effectiveness of the ABS, the hydraulic
brake assistant, and the ESP ®
is only ach-
ieved with winter tires (Y page 146) or
snow chains* as required. Antilock Brake System (ABS)
G
WARNING
Do not pump the brake pedal. Use firm,
steady brake pedal pressure instead. Pump-
ing the brake pedal defeats the purpose of
the ABS and significantly reduces braking
effectiveness.
The Antilock BrakeSystem (ABS) regulates
the brake pressure so that the wheels do not
lock during braking. This allows you to
maintain the ability to steer your vehicle.
On slippery road surfaces, the ABS will
respond even to light brake pressure.
The ABS indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster (Y page 24) comes on when you
switch on the ignition. It goes out when the
drive system is active.
Braking At the instant one of the wheels is about to
lock up, a slight pulsation can be felt in
the brake pedal, indicating that the ABS is
regulating the brake pressure.
X
Keep firm and steady pressure on the
brake pedal while experiencing the pul-
sation.
Continuous, steady brake pedal pressure
yields the advantages provided by the ABS,
namely braking power and the ability to
steer the vehicle.
A pulsating brake pedal can be an indica-
tion of hazardous road conditions and
functions as a reminder to take extra care
while driving.
Emergency brake maneuver X
Keep continuous full pressure on the
brake pedal. G
WARNING
When the ABS is malfunctioning, the
hydraulic brake assistant and the ESP ®
are
also switched off. 46

Seats
Safety notes
G
WARNING
All seat adjustments, as well as fastening
of seat belts, must be done before the vehi-
cle is operated. G
WARNING
When adjusting the seat, make sure no one
becomes trapped.
Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driv-
ing. Adjusting the seat while driving could
cause the driver to lose control of the vehi-
cle.
Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat
backrest in an excessively reclined posi-
tion as this can be dangerous. You could
slide under the seat belt in a collision. If
you slide under the seat belt, it could apply
force at the abdomen or neck, potentially
causing serious or fatal injuries. The seat
backrest and seat belts provide the best
restraint when the wearer is in a position
that is as upright as possible and seat belts
are properly positioned on the body.
Your seat must be adjusted so that you can
correctly fasten your seat belt.
Observe the following points:
R Adjust the seat backrest until your arms
are slightly angled when holding the
steering wheel.
R Adjust the seat to a comfortable seating
position that still allows you to reach the
accelerator/brake pedal safely. The
position should be as far back as possi-
ble with the driver still able to operate
the controls properly.
R Never place hands under the seat or near
any moving parts while a seat is being
adjusted.
Failure to do so could result in an accident
and/or serious personal injury.
Observe the notes on the air bag system. G
WARNING
Children 12 years old and under must be
seated and properly secured in an appro-
priately sized infant restraint, toddler
restraint, or booster seat recommended for
the size and weight of the child. For addi-
tional information, see “Children in the
vehicle”.
A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries
is significantly increased if the child
restraints are not properly secured in the
vehicle and/or the child is not properly
secured in the child restraint. G
WARNING
Contact an authorized electric drive smart
center if the seats have become damaged.
The seat is an integral part of the vehicle’s
safety system in the same way as seat belts
and air bags. Damage to the seats may
reduce their ability to protect the occu-
pants in an accident. Seat adjustment

X Make sure the seat belt is fastened prop-
erly (Y page 62). Lighting
Exterior lamp switch
For safety, smart recommends that you
drive with your low‑beam headlamps on
during the day. In certain countries, local
laws dictate that low‑beam headlamps are
switched on automatically during opera-
tion of the vehicle.
i If you drive in countries where vehi-
cles drive on the other side of the road
than the country in which the vehicle is
registered, you must have the headlamps
modified for symmetrical low beams.
Relevant information can be obtained at
any authorized electric drive smart
center. Exterior lamp switch

Windshield wipers
Switching windshield wipers on and off
Example illustration coupé
X
Make sure the key is in starter switch
position 1.
X Switching on: Turn the wiper switch to
position 0048or0049, depending on the
intensity of the rain.
! Do not operate the windshield wipers
when the windshield is dry. Dust that
accumulates on a windshield might
scratch the glass and/or damage the
wiper blades when wiping occurs on a dry
windshield. If it is necessary to operate
the windshield wipers in dry weather
conditions, always operate the wind-
shield wipers with windshield washer
fluid.
! If anything blocks the windshield wip-
ers (leaves, snow, etc.), switch them off
immediately.
For safety reasons, stop the vehicle in a
safe location and
R -
remove the key from the starter
switch
- engage the parking brake
before attempting to remove any
blockage.
R Remove blockage.
R Turn the windshield wipers on again.
X Switching off: Turn the wiper switch to
position 005A. Intermittent wiping
Only switch on intermittent wiping under
wet weather conditions or in the presence
of precipitation.
Vehicles with rain-light sensor*: When you
select intermittent wiping, the sensor is
activated. The sensor automatically sets a
suitable wiping interval depending on the
wetness of the sensor surface.
! Vehicles with rain-light sensor*:
Do not leave windshield wipers in inter-
mittent setting when the vehicle is taken
to an automatic car wash or during wind-
shield cleaning. Windshield wipers will
operate in the presence of water sprayed
on the windshield, and windshield wip-
ers may be damaged as a result.
! Vehicles with rain-light sensor*:
If you have set intermittent wiping, dirt
on the surface of the sensor or optical
effects may cause the windshield wipers
to wipe in an undesired fashion. This
could then damage the windshield wiper
blades or scratch the windshield. You
should therefore switch off the wind-
shield wipers when weather conditions
are dry.
X Make sure the key is in starter switch
position 1.
X Activating intermittent wiping: Turn the
wiper switch to position 0047.
After the initial wipe, pauses between
wipes are automatically controlled
depending on the vehicle speed and by the
rain-light sensor*.
X Deactivating intermittent wiping: Turn
the wiper switch to position 005A. Windshield wipers
