Tire
TirePressure
Pressure The tire inflation pressure in at least one tire is signifi-
cantly below the reference value.
X
Carefully bring the vehicle to a halt, avoiding abrupt steer-
ing and braking maneuvers.
X Check and adjust tire inflation pressure as required
(Y page 130).
X If necessary, change the wheel (Y page 195).G
WARNING
Each tire should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure rec-
ommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the Tire and Loading Information placard. If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the Tire and Loading Infor-
mation placard, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires
is significantly underinflated. 164
Display messages>> Practical hints.

Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s
handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even
if underinflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the
low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately 1 minute and then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction
exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of incom-
patible replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly. Display messages Possible causes/consequences and

briefly (Y page 83). G
WARNING
The display message Danger: Danger:Ice
Iceis not designed as an ice-warning device and is therefore
unsuitable for that purpose.
Indicated temperatures just above the freezing point do not guarantee that the road surface
is free of ice. The road may still be icy, especially in wooded areas or on bridges. Your
vehicle could start to skid if you do not adjust your driving style accordingly.
Therefore, always adjust your driving style to the prevailing road and weather conditions. Display messages

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.

WARNING
After changing a tire, contact an author-
ized electric drive smart center to make
sure the bolts holding the wheel to the car
are tight enough. Otherwise, the wheels
could come off. Each bolt should be tight-
ened to a torque of 81 lb‑ft (110 Nm). Sealing a tire (Version 2)

About towing
This section offers information on towing
methods for breakdown situations and
emergency towing. Recommended towing method - Break-
down situation
! To prevent damage during transport, do
not tie down the vehicle by its chassis or
suspension parts — use only wheel straps
to position and hold down the vehicle.
Improper tie down on a flatbed carrier
truck or trailer can damage suspension
parts and body panels.
smart recommends that the vehicle be
transported with all wheels off the ground
using a flatbed carrier truck or appropri-
ate wheel lift/dolly equipment.
Always have your vehicle transported:
R when the 0075warning lamp for the high-
voltage system lights up in the instru-
ment cluster
R when the Do not tow (away)
Do not tow (away) message
appears in the instrument cluster
R when the multifunction display is inop-
erative R
when one or several of the following
warning lamps light up:
-00ED Drive diagnostics (red)
- 003D 12‑Volt battery
0052 Power steering
R if the brake pedal already starts to pul-
sate just after towing begins
R if you have to transport the vehicle over
long distances
X Switch off the tow‑away protection* and
interior motion sensor* (Y page 50). Emergency towing
When circumstances do not permit the rec-
ommended towing method, the vehicle may
be towed with all wheels on the ground
using a strap or tow bar connected to
another vehicle. Only tow the vehicle as far
as necessary to have the vehicle moved to a
safe location where the recommended tow-
ing method can be employed. G
WARNING
If circumstances require towing the vehi-
cle with all wheels on the ground, always tow
with a tow bar if:
R the drive system will not run
R there is a malfunction in the brake sys-
tem
R there is a malfunction in the power sup-
ply or in the vehicle’s electrical system Towing
