WARNING
Batteries contain poisonous and corrosive
substances. Therefore keep the batteries
out of reach of children.
If a battery is swallowed, seek medical help
immediately. Batteries contain materials that can harm
the environment if disposed of improperly.
Recycling of batteries is the preferred
method of disposal. Many states/provinces
require sellers of batteries to accept old
batteries for recycling. Replacing battery
Replacement battery: CR 2016 button cell

X
Screw the end of filler hose 0085onto tire
valve 006F.
X Insert electrical plug 0084into the aux-
iliary power outlet (Y page 110).
X Insert the key in the starter switch and
turn it to position 1.
i The vehicle’s 12‑volt battery is drained
by use of the electric air pump. You
should therefore keep the drive system
running while inflating the tire. X
Press Ion electric air pump switch 006B.
The electric air pump is switched on and
inflates the tire.
i First, the sealant is pumped into the
tire. The pressure may briefly increase
to a high value. This is normal and not an
indication of a malfunction. Do not
switch off the electric air pump.
X Let the electric air pump inflate the tire
for a maximum of ten minutes.
Pressure gauge 0044must display at least
180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 psi). !
Do not operate the electric air pump
longer than ten minutes without inter-
ruption. Otherwise it may overheat.
You may operate the electrical air pump
again after it has cooled off.
X If a tire inflation pressure of at least
180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 psi) is not attained,
turn off the electric air pump by press-
ing 0on electric air pump switch 006B.
X Unscrew the end of filler hose 0085from
tire valve 006F.
X After clearing the area around the vehi-
cle of people and obstacles, drive vehi-
cle back or forth very slowly approx-
imately 30 ft (10 m).
This serves to better distribute the tire
sealant material inside the tire.
X Screw the end of filler hose 0085onto tire
valve 006F.
X Inflate the tire again. G
WARNING
If a tire inflation pressure of
180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 psi) is not attained, the
tire is too severely damaged for the tire
sealant to provide a reliable tire repair.
In this case, the tire sealant cannot prop-
erly seal the tire.
Do not drive the vehicle.
Contact the nearest authorized electric
drive smart center for assistance or call
Roadside Assistance.
X After attaining a tire inflation pressure
of at least 180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 psi), press

130 kPa (1.3 bar, 19 psi) do not continue to
drive the vehicle.
Park your vehicle safely away from the
roadway and contact the nearest authorized
electric drive smart center or call Road-
side Assistance.
Have the damaged tire replaced.

tems secured by that fuse will stop operat-
ing. G
WARNING
Only use fuses approved by smart with the
specified amperage for the system in ques-
tion and do not attempt to repair or bridge
a blown fuse this may cause an overload
leading to a fire, and/or cause damage to
electrical components and/or systems.
Contact an authorized electric drive smart
center if you encounter any electrical
problems.
! A blown fuse must be replaced by an
appropriate spare fuse (recognizable by
its color or the fuse rating given on the
fuse) of the amperage recommended in
the fuse chart. Any smart center will be
glad to advise you on this subject.
If a newly inserted fuse blows again, have
the cause determined and rectified at an
authorized electric drive smart center.
Before replacing fuses:
R Engage the parking brake.
R Make sure the gear selector lever is in
park position P.
