2015 SMART FORTWO COUPE key battery

R
Three segments: maximum power is
available.
R Two segments: Less than 66 % amount of
power is available.
R One segment: Less than 33 % amount of
power is available.
Under normal operating conditions the
indicator for the maximum power is at the
maximum range :.
The available amount of power can vary
from the the maximum range due to:
R very high or low outside temperatures
R very high power demand over a long time
period
R very low charge level of the high-voltage
battery
By charging the high-voltage battery, the
reduced availability of power can be
improved (Y page 114). ECO indicator
ECO indicator
:helps you to optimize
your driving style. The energy consumption of your vehicle can be reduced and the
cruising range can be increased.
The calculated ECO value in percent indi-
cates if and how your driving style differs
from an ideal driving style (100 %).
It is calculated from the dynamic factors
R acceleration
R braking behavior
R constant driving Feedback is provided by:
R
your driving style when accelerating and
coasting
- If you accelerate evenly and moder-
ately, the ECO value increases. If you
accelerate hard, the ECO value decrea-
ses.
- Anticipatory, constant driving and
coasting without sudden braking
increases the ECO value.
R the uniformity of your driving style
- If you accelerate moderately, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal early
and avoid frequent braking, your driv- ing style is constant and uniform.
Thus, the ECO value increases.
The ECO indicator summarizes the driving
characteristics from the start of the jour- ney to its completion. For this reason, it
changes dynamically at the beginning of
the journey.
After a prolonged standstill of the vehicle, ECO indicator display :always starts at a
value of 50 %.
Re setting the YSTARTSTART menu (Y page 90),
sets the value of the ECO indicator back to
50 %.
The ECO-value is displayed:
R while driving
R if the key is in starter switch position 2. In place of the ECO display, battery charge
level :and charging time ;appear , if:
R the high‑voltage battery is being
charged
R the key is in starter switch position 1.86

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).

X Turn air distribution control Bto posi-
tion z.
X Push temperature control Afully up. Rear window defroster
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
Make sure the key is in starter switch
position 1.
X Switching on: Press rear window

The indicator lamp in rear window
defroster switch :comes on.
X Switching off: Press rear window
defroster switch :once more.
The indicator lamp in rear window
defroster switch :goes out. Air recirculation mode
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 Bto
position zand increase the air volume

Auxiliary power outlet
The auxiliary power outlet supplies power
to the following electrical accessories
when the key is turned to starter switch
position 1:
R the electric air pump, available in con-
junction with the tire repair kit*
R other consumers which operate up to a
maximum of 60 W
! The auxiliary power outlet can accom-
modate 12V DC electrical accessories
designed for use with the standard “cig-
arette lighter” plug type.
Keep in mind, however, that connecting
accessories to the auxiliary power outlet (for example extensive connecting and
disconnecting, or using plugs that do not
fit properly) can damage the auxiliary
power outlet.
The auxiliary power outlet is located in the
lower center console. Auxiliary power outlet
X Turn the key to starter switch position 1.
! Please observe the safety instructions
given in the respective operating
instructions.
Please note that
R if using the auxiliary power outlet the
maximum current drawn may not exceed
5 A or 60 W
R the electric air pump* can be connected
to the auxiliary power outlet for the time it takes to inflate the tire without any
problem
R the vehicle battery will discharge when
current is drawn. 110

three days. Intelligent charging management
If you wish to charge economically and with
minimal damage to the battery, you must set a departure time (Y page 90). This option to
optimize the charging process depends on
your electricity contract and the local
power supplier. Your vehicle detects this
option automatically. Depending on the
departure time which is set, the charging
process of the high-voltage battery may not be started immediately or may be inter-
rupted during the process. Front compartment

About replacing bulbs
Safe vehicle operation depends on proper
exterior lighting and signaling. It is
therefore essential that all bulbs and lamp
assemblies are in good working order at all times.
Correct headlamp adjustment is extremely
important. Have headlamps checked and
readjusted at regular intervals and when a
bulb has been replaced. Contact an author- ized electric drive smart center for head-
lamp adjustment. G
WARNING
Bulbs and bulb sockets can be very hot.
Allow the lamp to cool down before changing a bulb. Otherwise you could be burned if you
touch them.
Keep bulbs out of the reach of children.
Halogen lamps contain pressurized gas. A
bulb can explode if you:
R touch or move it when hot
R drop the bulb
R scratch the bulb
Wear eye and hand protection.
i If the headlamps or front fog lamps* are
fogged up on the inside as a result of
high humidity, driving the vehicle a
distance with the lights on should clear
up the fogging. Notes on bulb replacement:
R Only use bulbs of the same type and with
the specified watt rating.
R Switch the lights off before replacing a
bulb to prevent short circuits.
R Always use a clean lint-free cloth when
handling bulbs.
R Your hands should be dry and free of oil
and grease.
R Avoid touching the glass of the bulb with
bare fingers.
R If the newly installed bulb does not come
on, contact an authorized electric drive
smart center.
R Have the bulbs for the front fog lamps*
and the LED daytime running lamps*
replaced at an authorized electric drive
smart center. Replacing bulbs
