R retractable soft top
R rear soft top
R side rails
You can remove the side rails over the doors when you open the retractable soft top and

i Opening the rear soft top is possible
after the retractable soft top has been
opened completely. Notes on the soft top system
! When transporting long objects inside
the vehicle, make sure they do not press
against the retractable soft top when it
is closed.
When carrying objects that protrude from the rear of the vehicle, make sure they
are not resting on the retaining clips. 70
Soft top system (cabriolet only)>> Controls.

When loading, make sure no sharp objects
come into contact with the soft top or the
rear window.
Do not place any evenly distributed loads with a weight of more than 165 lbs (75 kg)
on the rear soft top when folded down.
Make sure the high-mounted brake lamp
is not concealed.
! Do not block the soft top system’s lock-
ing apertures.
Only place the side rails in the desig-
nated storage space of the tailgate.
! Do not sit on the folded-down rear soft
top.
Do not fold down the rear soft top at tem-
peratures below 14¦ (-10¥).
Do not place any pointed, sharp-edged,
hot (above 176¦ [80¥]), incandescent or
burning objects on the soft top’s lining.
Do not apply wax to the soft top fabric and select only wax-free washing products
when using an automatic car wash.
Only drive with the retaining clips
closed, as exhaust fumes could otherwise
reach the vehicle’s interior.
! Please keep in mind that weather con-
ditions can sometimes change rapidly.
Make sure to close the retractable soft
top and the rear soft top when leaving the
vehicle. If water enters the vehicle inte- rior, vehicle electronics could be dam-
aged which is not covered by the smart
Limited Warranty. Opening and closing the retractable
soft top
You can open and close the retractable soft
top when the vehicle is either stationary or in motion. G
WARNING
Never operate the retractable soft top if
there is the possibility of anyone being harmed by the opening or closing proce-
dure.
G
WARNING
The retractable soft top is made out of fab- ric. In the event of an accident, the fabric
may tear. This may result in an opening in
the roof.
In a vehicle rollover, occupants not wear-
ing their seat belts or not wearing them
properly may be thrown out of the opening.
Such an opening also presents a potential
for injury for occupants wearing their seat
belts properly as entire body parts or por- tions of them may protrude from the
passenger compartment. G
WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key from the starter switch, take it with
you, and lock the vehicle. Do not leave chil- dren unattended in the vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. A child’s
unsupervised access to a vehicle could
result in an accident and/or serious per-
sonal injury.
! To avoid damaging the seals, do not
transport any objects with sharp edges
which can stick out of the retractable
soft top.
Do not open the retractable soft top if
there is snow or ice on the roof, as this
could result in malfunctions.
If you cannot open or close the retracta-
ble soft top due to a malfunction contact
Roadside Assistance or an authorized
electric drive smart center.
i To avoid draining the battery, leave the
drive system running when opening and
closing the retractable soft top.
Opening from outside You can open the retractable soft top com-
pletely with the key. Soft top system (cabriolet only)

WARNING
Make sure absolutely no objects are
obstructing the pedals’ range of motion.
Keep the driver’s footwell clear of all
obstacles. If there are any floormats* or
carpets in the footwell, make sure the ped- als still have sufficient clearance.
During sudden acceleration or braking
maneuvers, the objects could get caught
between or beneath the pedals and restrictyour ability to brake or accelerate. This
could lead to accidents and/or injury. 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).

This is useful:
R if you wish to cool the interior of the
vehicle before driving
R if you wish to charge the vehicle at a
charging station/wallbox at the most
inexpensive electricity rate
With the "Air conditioning before start"
function, the vehicle interior is cooled
prior to a desired departure time.
Prerequisites:
R The doors and tailgate are closed.
R The charging cable for the high‑voltage
battery is connected to a power source
and inserted into the vehicle's power
socket.
R The high‑voltage battery has a suffi-
cient charge.
The maximum duration of "Air condition-
ing before start" is 30 minutes.
Set the air distribution of your vehicle as
follows so that the "Air conditioning
before start" function has the greatest
effect:
R in summer, to the center and side vents
R in winter, onto the windshield and side
windows
Information on air distribution can be
found on (Y page 102).
The setting of the airflow regulator has no
influence on the "Air conditioning before
start" function.
i If the programmed time is too short, the
high‑voltage battery cannot be com-
pletely charged. After setting the depar- ture time, the maximum charge level
which can be reached is then shown.
i If the high‑voltage battery is not suf-
ficiently charged and the "Air condi-
tioning before start" function is acti-
vated, the high‑voltage battery is
charged first. When a charge level of at
least 20 %has been reached, the "Air con-
ditioning before start" function is acti-
vated. This function then has priority over the charging of the high‑voltage
battery.

Notes

WARNING
Follow the recommended settings for heat-
ing and cooling given on the following pages. Otherwise the windows could fog up,
impairing visibility and endangering you
and others.
The air conditioning improves the level of
comfort when driving at high outside tem-
peratures by cooling and dehumidifying
the air.
Nearly all dust particles, pollutants, are
filtered out by an integrated particle fil-
ter before outside air enters the passenger compartment through the air distribution
system. It also operates when the air con-
ditioning is switched off and you have
switched on the blower.
The dehumidification of the air by the air
conditioner prevents the windows from
misting up when the outside air humidity
is high.
This effect can also be used to defrost the
windows. For this, make sure, in addition
to the air conditioner, that the heater is on the maximum setting.
The air conditioner only works when:
R the ignition is switched on
R the blower is switched on
R the driver's door is closed
Maximum effectiveness is achieved if you
drive with the windows closed.
If the operating temperature of the
high‑voltage battery is too high, the
high‑voltage battery is cooled by the air
conditioner. When the air conditioner
switches on, the cooling output in the vehi- cle's interior is reduced as a result. The
temperature in the vehicle's interior may
rise briefly.
If the air conditioner is not switched on,
the compressor of the air conditioner and
the vehicle's cooling fan are switched on
automatically. This cools the high‑voltage
battery but not the vehicle's interior. When
the high‑voltage battery reaches the nom-
inal temperature again, the air condi-
tioner switches off automatically. Air conditioning with climate control
