WARNING
When connected to a power supply socket, a
high electrical load during the charging
process can lead to overheating of the
external power supply. There is a risk of
fire.
Check the maximum permissible charge
current on site before you begin the charg-
ing process. Contact an authorized electric drive smart center should you require
assistance. If necessary, adjust the set-
tings of your vehicle.
! An excessive charge current can blow a
fuse or lead to overheating of the exter-
nal power supply. Check whether the
external power supply is compatible
with the set charge current. If necessary, lower the set charge current or use
another power socket. :

High-voltage battery>> Operation.

Observe the provider's instructions at the
charging station.
Charging station with charging commu-
nication („Plug&Charge“) You do not have to activate charging sta-
tions with charging communication before
the charging process. This is done by the
vehicle. This function is called "Plug &
Charge". Information is exchanged
between the vehicle and the charging sta-
tion via the charging cable for activation.
This is for:
R mutual authorization of the vehicle and
the charging station
R verification of contract data
R automatic billing of the energy costs
Electronic certificates are used here for
secure exchange of data.
If the verification of contract data is suc-
cessful, the charging process is initiated.
i A preliminary version of the
ISO/IEC 15118 standard is used for com-
munication between the vehicle and the
charging station. If it is necessary to
update your vehicle, consult an author-
ized electric drive smart center.
In order to use "Plug & Charge", you have to
configure the functions of your vehicle on
the "Vehicle Homepage" (Y page 120). For
this you require a "Plug & Charge" certif-
icate which you receive from your power
company after concluding a suitable con-
tract. Consult an authorized electric drive
smart center if you have problems with the
configuration or have no access to the
Internet.
The charging station offers information on the availability of electricity and costs.
This information is processed by the vehi-
cle and is used for an optimum charging of the high‑voltage battery (Y page 123). The
energy costs are automatically calculated
after the charging process is complete. With your existing electricity contract,
you and others who have access to your vehi-
cle can charge the costs to your electricity
bill. For this reason, cancel your existing electricity contract for this vehicle
before you sell it. Delete your "Plug &
Charge" certificate by all means.
i You can delete the certificate from the
vehicle's data on the "Vehicle Home-
page". Please consult an authorized
electric drive smart center if you do not have access to the Internet.
If the charging station allows the connec-
ted vehicle access to the Internet, you can
call up and change information pertaining to the vehicle on the "Vehicle Homepage"
(Y page 120).

/ 6 in (4 mm) on all four wheels for
the winter season to ensure normal bal-
anced handling characteristics. On packed
snow, they can reduce your stopping dis-
tance compared to summer tires.
Stopping distance, however, is still con-
siderably greater than when the road is not covered with snow or ice. Exercise appro-
priate caution.
! Avoid spinning of a drive wheel for an
extended period when driving off on
slippery road surfaces. Otherwise, the
drivetrain could be damaged, which is
not covered by the smart Limited War-
ranty. Tire speed rating
Regardless of the tire speed rating, local
speed limits should be obeyed. Use prudent
driving speeds appropriate to prevailing
conditions. G
WARNING
Even when permitted by law, never operate a
vehicle at speeds greater than the maximum speed rating of the tires.
Exceeding the maximum speed for which
tires are rated can lead to sudden tire fail-
ure, causing loss of vehicle control and
possibly resulting in an accident and/or
personal injury and possible death, for you and for others.
Make sure your tires have the required tire speed rating as specified for your vehicle
in the “Technical data section”
(Y page 216), for example when purchasing
new tires.
For information on how to identify the tire
speed rating on a tire’s sidewall, see “Tire size designation, load and speed rating”
(Y page 140).
If you are uncertain about the correct read-
ing of the information given on a tire’s sidewall, any authorized electric drive
smart center will be glad to assist you.
i For information on speed ratings for
winter tires, see “All-season and winter
tires” (Y page 141). Winter driving instructions
The most important rule for slippery or icy roads is to drive sensibly and to avoid
abrupt acceleration, braking and steering
maneuvers.
For information on driving with snow
chains*, see “Snow chains*” (Y page 146).
Road salts and chemicals can adversely
affect braking efficiency. Increased pedal force may become necessary to produce the
normal braking effect.
Depressing the brake pedal periodically
when traveling at length on salt-strewn
roads can bring road-salt-impaired brak- ing efficiency back to normal.
If the vehicle is parked after being driven
on salt-treated roads, the braking effi-
ciency should be tested as soon as possible after driving is resumed. G
WARNING
Make sure not to endanger any other road
users when carrying out these braking
maneuvers. G
WARNING
The outside temperature display is not
designed to serve as an ice-warning device and is therefore unsuitable for that pur-
pose. Indicated temperatures just above
the freezing point do not guarantee that the
road surface is free of ice.

cantly below the reference value.
X Carefully bring the vehicle to a halt, avoiding abrupt steer-

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
