driving to make sure the
40
indicator lamp is illuminated. If the
40indicator lamp goes out
or remains out, do not transport a child
on the passenger seat until the system has been repaired. A child in a rear-facing
child restraint on the passenger seat may
be seriously injured or even killed if the passenger front air bag inflates.
R If you place a child in a forward-facing
child restraint on the passenger seat,
move the seat as far back as possible, use a proper child restraint recommended
for the age, size and weight of the child,
and secure child restraint with the vehi- cle’s seat belt according to the child seat
manufacturer’s instructions. For chil-
dren larger than the typical
12‑month‑old child, the passenger front
air bag may or may not be activated. G
WARNING
Infants and small children should never
share a seat belt with another occupant.
During an accident, they could be crushed
between the occupant and seat belt.
A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is
significantly increased if the child
restraints are not properly secured in the
vehicle and/or the child is not properly
secured in the child restraint.
Children too big for a toddler restraint
must ride in a seat using regular seat belt.
Position shoulder belt across chest and
shoulder, not face or neck. A booster seat
may be necessary to achieve proper seat
belt positioning for children over 41 lbs
until they reach a height where a lap-
shoulder belt fits properly without a boos- ter.
When the child restraint is not in use,
remove it from the vehicle or secure it with
the seat belt to prevent the child restraint from becoming a projectile in the event of
an accident. Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, even if the children are secured in
a child restraint system. Unsupervised
children in a child restraint system may
use vehicle equipment and may cause an
accident and/or serious personal injury.
If you are using a rear-facing child
restraint system on the passenger seat, you
must verify that the passenger front air bag is deactivated. When the passenger front
air bag is deactivated, the 40
indicator lamp is illuminated (Y page 41).
Top tether
Top tether permits an additional connec-
tion between a child restraint system and
the passenger seat. Proper usage of the top
tether, in accordance with instructions
provided by the child restraint manufac-
turer, can further reduce the risk of inju-
ries.
The top tether anchorage is located on the
floor of the cargo compartment. The top
tether guide for the top tether strap is
located above, on the head restraint. 44

sure compact spares designed for tempo-
rary emergency use only.
Tire width
Tire width :indicates the nominal tire
width in mm.
Aspect ratio
Aspect ratio ;is the dimensional rela-
tionship between tire section height and
section width and is expressed as a per-
centage. The aspect ratio is arrived at by
dividing section height by section width.
Tire code
Tire code =indicates the tire construc-
tion type. The “R” stands for radial tire
type. Letter “D” means diagonal or bias ply
construction; letter “B” means belted-bias
ply construction.
At the tire manufacturer’s option, any tire
with a speed capability above 149 mph
(240 km/h) can include a “ZR” in the size
designation (for example: 245/40 ZR 18).
For additional information, see “Tire
speed rating” (Y page 141).

WARNING
When jacking up the vehicle, only use a
suitable jack. Observe the manufacturer’s
safety instructions.
The jack must be designed for jacking up
this vehicle at the jack take-up brackets
built into both sides of the vehicle.
The jack is intended only for lifting the
vehicle briefly for wheel changes. It is not suited for performing maintenance work
under the vehicle. To help avoid personal
injury, use the jack only to lift the vehicle during a wheel change.
Never get beneath the vehicle while it is
supported by the jack. Keep hands and feet
away from the area under the lifted vehicle.
Always lower the vehicle onto sufficient
capacity jackstands before working under
the vehicle.
Always firmly engage the parking brake and block the wheels with wheel chocks or othersizeable objects before raising the vehi-
cle with the jack. Do not release the parking
brake while the vehicle is raised.
Make sure the ground on which the vehicle
is standing and where you place the jack is solid, level and not slippery. If necessary,
use a large underlay. On slippery surfaces, such as tiled floors, you should use a non-
slip underlay, for example a rubber mat.
Do not use wooden blocks or similar objects
to support the jack. Otherwise the jack may
not be able to achieve its load-bearing
capacity if it is not at its full height.
The jack must always be vertical when in
use. Always try to use the jack on level sur- face. If you do not position the jack cor-
rectly, the vehicle can fall off the jack and
seriously or fatally injure you or others.
Never switch on the drive system when the
vehicle is raised.
Also observe the notes on the jack.
X Make sure to have a suitable jack 10
, wheel
wrench 10
and wheel chock 10
.
Contact an authorized electric drive
smart center for information on which
jack and wheel wrench are required.
X Prepare the vehicle as described
(Y page 195).
X Make sure the surface is level.
Prevent the vehicle from rolling away by
blocking wheels with wheel chocks or other sizeable objects:
X Place one wheel chock or other sizeable
object in front of and another wheel
chock or other sizeable object behind
the wheel that is diagonally opposite to
the wheel being changed.
X On wheel to be changed, loosen but do not
yet remove the wheel bolts (approx-
imately one full turn with wheel wrench).
! Only position the jack on the designa-
ted take-up brackets.
You must not position the jack under the
high-voltage battery. Otherwise, the
high-voltage battery could be damaged.
