WARNING
Never drive with iced up or fogged win-
dows. Visibility will be significantly
impaired. Impaired visibility could
endanger yourself and others. This may
prevent you from observing the traffic con-
ditions, thereby causing an accident.
The best defrosting of windows is achieved
if the ice is completely removed from the
windows manually with an ice scraper
before driving off.
Also use the "Air conditioning before
start" function (Y page 90).

The rear window defroster serves to de-ice
the rear window quickly and clear the view
if the rear window is fogged.
The rear window defroster uses a large
amount of power. To keep battery drain to a
minimum, switch off the rear window
defroster as soon as the rear window is
clear. The rear window defroster is auto-
matically deactivated after approximately
10 minutes of operation. X

Switch to air recirculation mode to prevent
unpleasant odors from entering the vehicle
from the outside (e.g. before driving
through a tunnel). This setting cuts off the
intake of outside air and recirculates the
air in the passenger compartment. G
WARNING
When the air recirculation mode is
switched on, windows can fog on the inside
immediately. Fogged windows impair vis-
ibility, endangering you and others. If the
windows begin to fog on the inside, switch-
ing off the air recirculation mode imme-
diately should clear interior window fog-
ging. If interior window fogging persists,
make sure the air conditioning is switched
on, turn air distribution control 0084to
position 0085and increase the air volume
using air volume control 0043.

at any authorized electric drive smart
center.
The "Vehicle Homepage" is available in the
following languages:
R German
R English
R French
R Italian
R Spanish
R Portuguese
R Dutch
i Further information concerning sup-
ported end devices and available lan-
guages can be found under the following
address: http://vh.smart.com/info.
In order to call up the "Vehicle Homepage",
the vehicle must be connected to the Inter-
net.
This is enabled:
R via a mobile service module (if your
vehicle is equipped with it)
(Y page 122)
R via powerline (Y page 122)
Further information can be found here
(Y page 114).
Personal area setup You must first set up your personal access
under http://vh.smart.com in order to
access the "Vehicle Homepage". For this,
you need a valid Email address.
Following registration, you then have
access to your personal area on the "Vehi-
cle Homepage". The vehicle must be regis-
tered in the personal area for you to access
the settings of your vehicle. Call up the
corresponding input field within the
"Vehicle Homepage". Enter the vehicle
identification number (VIN) and the vehi-
cle verification code (VVC). This informa- tion can be obtained at your authorized
electric drive smart center when you
receive the vehicle.
Notes on data protection Please note that the "Vehicle Homepage"
allows access to your personal data. For
this reason, keep your vehicle verification
code (VVC) and your user data in a secure
place and safe from unauthorized persons.
Each person who has access to the above
information can use the functions on the
"Vehicle Homepage". For this reason, make
sure than no unauthorized persons have
access to your personal area.
After selling the vehicle, you are required
to delete the vehicle from your personal
area on the "Vehicle Homepage". You must
also destroy the vehicle verification code
(VVC) documents.
If you have bought a pre-owned vehicle, it
may be possible that the previous owner
still has access to the "Vehicle Homepage".
For this reason, have a new vehicle veri-
fication code (VVC) reissued to you at an
authorized electric drive smart center
after purchase. With this new code you can
set up the access to your vehicle as descri-
bed in the "Personal area setup" section.
Here you can also deactivate the previous
owner's access, should it still be active.

conditioning, lights
R personal driving style
R traffic conditions
Plan for a sufficient reserve accordingly.
Connecting the vehicle to the Internet Via mobile service module
i
This function is only available if the
vehicle is equipped with a mobile
service module.
You can use the “Vehicle Homepage” when
the vehicle has connected to the Internet
via the mobile service module. The mobile
service module uses GSM (Global System for
Mobile Communications) and transfers the
required data via radio transmission. The
vehicle automatically detects if a connec-
tion to the Internet via the mobile service
module is available or not. No pre-settings
need to be done.
In order to use data transfer via the mobile
service module you do not need a SIM card
and no contract.
i There may be service limitations if the
vehicle is located for example in a
underground garage. Service limita-
tions may also appear in areas with poor
mobile service coverage. In theses cases
you can launch the Internet connection
via powerline (Y page 122).
Via powerline
You can also access the “Vehicle Homepage”
if you do not have GSM reception. This is
possible for example via your DSL router.
This connection is built by the plugged in
charging cable with the aid of the power-
line technology.
The vehicle supports powerline communi-
cation according to the "HomePlug AV" standard. Data is transmitted via phase L1
and the neutral conductor of the power line.
In order for the vehicle to access the Inter-
net, you require a commercially available
adapter of the "HomePlug AV" standard.
This adapter must also have an encryption
button so that it can be configured to com-
municate with the vehicle. Connect the
adapter to the power supply as well as your
Internet connection. If the adapter is con-
nected to different phase than L1, a phase
coupler must be additionally installed.
Only in this way can stable communication
be guaranteed. For questions, consult a
qualified electrician.
i If you already have a powerline network
installed, the vehicle can be integrated
into it.
To establish a connection between the
vehicle and a powerline adapter, carry out
the following:
X Connect the vehicle to a power socket or
a wallbox.
The right 003Dindicator lamp on the
vehicle socket must flash green.
X Insert the powerline adapter into a
neighboring power socket. Observe that
the vehicle and the adapter are con-
nected via phase L1.
X Switch on the ignition.
X Call up the Charge current
Charge current menu on the
control system (Y page 92).
Carry out the following steps within
30 seconds:
X If the value of the charge current is not
set to 8 A: set the value to 8 A and confirm.
X Set the value of the charge current to
12 A and confirm.
X Set the value of the charge current to
8 A and confirm. 122
