2014 SMART FORTWO COUPE maintenance

Parts service
The “Technical data” section provides the
necessary technical data for your vehicle.
Genuine smart Parts are subjected to strin-
gent quality inspections. Each part has
been specifically developed, manufac-
tured or selected for and adapted to smart
vehicles.
Therefore, Genuine smart Parts should be
installed.
! The use of non-genuine smart parts and
accessories not authorized by smart
could damage the vehicle, which is not
covered by the smart Limited Warranty,
or could compromise the vehicle’s dura-
bility or safety. Warranty coverage
Your vehicle is covered under the terms of
the warranties printed in the smart USA
Warranty booklet (USA only) or the Warranty
booklet (Canada only).
Your authorized electric drive smart
center will exchange or repair any defec-
tive parts originally installed on the
vehicle in accordance with the terms of the
following warranties:
R smart USA Limited Warranty (USA only)
R New Vehicle Limited Warranty (Canada
only)
R Emission System Warranty
R Emission Performance Warranty
R Corrosion Warranty
R California, Connecticut, Maine, Massa-
chusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, and Vermont Emission Control
System Warranty
R smartmove Assistance (Canada only)
R State Warranty Enforcement Laws (Lemon
Laws, USA only)
Replacement parts and accessories are
covered by the smart Parts and Accessories warranties, copies of which are available
at any authorized electric drive smart
center. Loss of Warranty booklet
Should you lose your smart USA Warranty
booklet (USA only) or the Warranty booklet
(Canada only), have an authorized electric
drive smart center arrange for a replace-
ment. It will be mailed to you. Drive system and high-voltage system

WARNING
Always have maintenance work on drive sys-
tem and high-voltage system electronics
and components performed by a qualified
specialist, e.g. at an authorized electric
drive smart center. In particular, work rel-
evant to safety or on safety related systems
must be carried out at a qualified special-
ist workshop with expert knowledge of
electric drive vehicles.
! Always have maintenance work on drive
system and high-voltage system elec-
tronics and components, such as control
modules, sensors and connecting cables,
performed by a qualified specialist
workshop with the necessary expert
knowledge of electric drive vehicles and
the tools to carry out the work required,
e.g. at an authorized electric drive
smart center. Otherwise there is a danger
that vehicle components may wear more
rapidly, which may void the vehicle’s
warranty. 212

Rims and tires
Notes
! Only use tires which have been tested
and approved by smart. Tires approved by
smart are developed to provide best pos-
sible performance in conjunction with
the driving safety systems on your vehi-
cle such as the ABS or the ESP ®
.
Using tires other than those approved by
smart may result in damage that is not
covered by the smart Limited Warranty.
! Using tires other than those approved
by smart can have detrimental effects,
such as
R poor handling characteristics
R increased noise
R increased energy consumption
Moreover, tires and rims not approved by
smart may, under load, exhibit dimen-
sional variations and different tire
deformation characteristics that could
cause them to come into contact with the
vehicle body or axle parts. Damage to the
tires or the vehicle may be the result.
i Further information on tires and rims
is available at any authorized electric
drive smart center. A placard with the
recommended tire inflation pressure is
located on the driver’s door B‑pillar.
The tire inflation pressure should be
checked regularly and should only be
adjusted on cold tires. Follow tire man-
ufacturer’s maintenance recommenda-
tion included with vehicle. Mobility
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire repair
kit (Y page 187). In case of a flat tire, it
enables you to drive to the nearest author-
ized electric drive smart center on the
sealed tire. If the tire is damaged too severely for the
tire sealant to provide a reliable tire
repair:

WARNING
Windshield washer concentrate is highly
flammable. Fire, naked flames and smoking
are prohibited when windshield washer
concentrate is being handled. Coolants
The battery and drive system coolant is a
mixture of water and anticorrosion/anti-
freeze, which provides:
R Corrosion protection
R Freeze protection
R Boiling protection (by increasing the
boiling point)
The cooling system was filled at the factory
with a coolant providing freeze protection
to approximately -35¦ (-37¥) and cor-
rosion protection.
! Add premixed coolant solution only.
Adding water and MB 325.0 Anticorro-
sion/Antifreeze separately from each
other, could cause drive system damage
not covered by the smart Limited War-
ranty.
If the antifreeze mixture is effective to
-35¦ (-37¥), the boiling point of the
coolant in the pressurized cooling system
is reached at approximately 266¦
(130¥ ).
The coolant solution must be used year
round, even in countries which have high
temperatures to provide the necessary cor-
rosion protection and increase boil‑over
protection. Refer to Maintenance/ Service
Booklet for replacement interval.
Coolant system design and coolant used
determine the replacement interval. The
replacement interval published in the
Maintenance booklet is only applicable if
MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze solu-
tion or other smart approved products of
equal specification are used to renew the coolant concentration or bring it back up
to the proper level.
For information on other smart approved
products of equal specification, contact an
authorized electric drive smart center.
To provide important corrosion protec-
tion, the solution must be at least 50% anti-
corrosion/antifreeze (equivalent to freeze
protection to approximately -35¦
[-37¥]).
If you use a solution that is more than 55%
anticorrosion/antifreeze (freeze protec-
tion to approximately -49
¦[(-45 ¥]), the
drive system and battery temperature will
increase due to the lower heat transfer
capability of the solution. Therefore, do
not use more than this amount of anticor-
rosion/antifreeze.
If the coolant level is low, water and
MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze should
be used to bring it up to the proper level
(have cooling system checked for signs of
leakage). Please make sure the mixture is
in accordance with label instructions.
Always use anticorrosion/antifreeze that
has been approved by smart. For informa-
tion contact an authorized electric drive
smart center.
The water in the cooling system must meet
minimum requirements, which are usually
satisfied by normal drinking water.
If you are not sure about the water quality,
consult an authorized electric drive smart
center.
