Operating safety
G
WARNING
Some safety systems only function while the
drive system is switched on. You should
therefore never switch off the drive system
while driving. G
WARNING
Work improperly carried out on electronic
components and associated software could
cause them to cease functioning. Because
the vehicle’s electronic components are
interconnected, any modifications made
may produce an undesired effect on other
systems. Electronic malfunctions could
seriously impair the operating safety of
your vehicle.
See an authorized electric drive smart
center for repairs or modifications to
electronic components.
Improper work or modifications on other
vehicle systems could also have a negative
impact on the operating safety of the vehi-
cle. G
WARNING
Heavy blows against the vehicle underbody
or tires/wheels, for example when running
over an obstacle, road debris or a pothole,
may cause serious damage and impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
If you feel a sudden significant vibration
or ride disturbance, or you suspect that
damage to your vehicle has occurred, you
should turn on your hazard warning flash-
ers, carefully slow down, and drive with
caution to an area which is a safe distance
from the road.
Inspect the vehicle underbody and tires/
wheels for possible damage. If the vehicle
appears unsafe, have it towed to the nearest
authorized electric drive smart center or
other maintenance or repair facility that
is qualified to work on smart electric vehi-
cles for further inspection or repairs. G
WARNING
A vehicle with an electric motor produces
significantly lower noise levels than a
vehicle with a combustion engine. Other
motorists or pedestrians, especially those
who are visually or hearing impaired, may
be unable to hear your vehicle while it is
in motion. This is particularly true when
driving at lower speeds and during parking
maneuvers. At all times, it is the respon-
sibility of the driver to be aware of their
surroundings, especially in these low
speed situations. Otherwise other road
users could be seriously or fatally injured.
Vehicles equipped with an Acoustic Vehi-
cle Indication* emit a certain noise. Thus,
your vehicle will be better noticed by other
road users at low speeds (Y page 48). Danger of electric shock
The components of the drive system are
indicated by yellow warning labels to make
you aware of high voltage.
High‑voltage cables are orange‑colored.
G
WARNING
Due to the high-voltage technology, elec-
trical leads under high voltage are instal-
led in the vehicle. For this reason, work on
the vehicle may only be carried out by spe-
cially trained technicians.
For safety reasons, smart recommends all
work to be carried out by a smart service 16

partner which is qualified for smart elec-
tric drive.
Particular care should be taken involving
all areas which are in the vicinity of high
voltage parts, e.g. parts in the engine com-
partment. Orange-colored cables and their
respective sockets carry high voltage and
must not be damaged.
Serious injury or death can result if you:
R remove the covers of components which
are labeled with a warning sticker.
R handle components of the high-voltage
vehicle electrical system.
R open the housing.
R disconnect plug connectors.
R come into contact with components or
orange-colored cables of the high-volt-
age vehicle electrical system following
an accident.
R come into contact with orange-colored
cables or their damaged plug connectors.
R come into contact with damaged compo-
nents of the high-voltage vehicle elec-
trical system.
Have the damaged orange-colored cables or
their damaged plug connectors replaced
immediately at an authorized electric
drive smart center. The service partner
must have the required knowledge and tools
to carry out the necessary work. For safety
reasons, smart recommends using a smart
center which is qualified for smart elec-
tric drive. Particularly for safety-rele-
vant work and work on safety-relevant vehi-
cle systems, servicing by an authorized
electric drive smart center is essential.
Do not remove the high-voltage battery of
the high-voltage vehicle electrical sys-
tem. Have the required work carried out by
an authorized electric drive smart center.
smart recommends that you use an author-
ized electric drive smart center. G
WARNING
The high‑voltage battery of the drive sys-
tem is located under the vehicle’s under-
body. When the pressure inside the
high‑voltage battery exceeds a certain
value, for example in case of a vehicle fire,
inflammable gas will escape via a duct. The
inflammable gas escapes to an area under
the vehicle. This prevents the high‑voltage
battery from exploding.
Stay away from this area of the vehicle.
When you carry out common works like
replacing bulbs or checking coolant level,
make sure that
R the ignition is switched off
R the charging cable for the high-voltage
battery is disconnected. Automatic switch-off of the high-volt-
age system
The high-voltage system will be automati-
cally switched off, in the event:
R of an accident in which the restraint
systems are triggered
R of a short circuit in the high-voltage
system is detected
R that an electric connection in the high-
voltage system has been disconnected
This helps to avoid that you get in contact
with high-voltage. High-voltage battery

WARNING
Various warning labels are attached to your
vehicle. These warning labels are intended
to make you and others aware of various
risks. You should not remove any of these
warning labels unless explicitly
instructed to do so by information on the
label itself. Removal of any of these labels may cause you and others to be unaware of
certain risks which may result in an acci-
dent and/or personal injury. Problems with your vehicle
If you should experience a problem with
your vehicle, particularly one that you
believe may affect its safe operation, we
urge you to immediately contact an author-
ized electric drive smart center to have the
problem diagnosed and corrected if
required. Do not drive the vehicle if you
believe it may not be safely operated. If the
matter is not handled to your satisfaction,
