center or look under
http://www.smartUSA.com (only USA).
iThe service display does not show any
information on the engine oil level.
Observe the notes on the engine oil level
(
Ypage 150).
Whenever a service is due, this is shown
approximately 30 days or 1500 km (1000 miles)
beforehand. After starting the engine, a ser-
vice message appears in the instrument clus-
ter display for a few seconds; see the follow-
ing example.
Next
Servicein.. Daystogether with the
0099 or009A symbol. If the service due date
has been exceeded, Service Due .. Days
Ago.
The symbol shows the type of service. 0099
stands for a minor service and 009Afor a
major service.
The service display does not take into
account any periods of time during which the

Information about Service
Resetting the service display
!Have service work carried out as descri-
bed in the Maintenance Booklet. This may
otherwise lead to increased wear and dam-
age to the major assemblies or the vehicle.
A qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart center, will reset the service interval dis-
play after the service work has been carried
out. You can also obtain further information
on maintenance work, for example.
Special service requirements
The prescribed service interval is based on
normal operation of the vehicle. Service work
will need to be performed more often if the
vehicle is operated under arduous conditions
or increased loads, for example:
Rregular city driving with frequent inter-
mediate stops
Rif the vehicle is primarily used to travel
short distances
Rfor frequent operation in mountainous ter-
rain or on poor road surfaces
Rif the engine is often left idling for long
periods
In these or similar operating conditions,
have, for example, the air filter, engine oil
and oil filter changed more frequently. The
tires must be checked more frequently if the
vehicle is operated under increased loads.
You can obtain further information at a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart
center.
Driving abroad
An extensive smart service network is also
available in other countries. For further
information inquire at any smart center.

>> Maintenance and care.

XTurn the key to position1in the ignition
lock (Ypage 87).
XPress on/off switch 0084on tire inflation
compressor 0044toI.
The tire inflation compressor is switched
on. The tire is inflated.
iFirst, tire sealant is pumped into the
tire. The pressure can briefly rise to
approximately 600 kPa (6.0 bar/86 psi).
Do not switch off the tire inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
XLet the tire inflation compressor run for a
maximum of 15 minutes. The tire should then
have attained a pressure of at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi).
If a tire pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) is
achieved after a maximum of 15 minutes, see
"Tire pressure is achieved" (
Ypage 163).
If a tire pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
has not been achieved after a maximum of
15 minutes, see "Tire pressure is not ach-
ieved" (
Ypage 163).
iIf tire sealant leaks out, allow it to dry. It
can then be removed like a layer of film.
If your clothes are soiled with tire sealant,
have them cleaned with perchloroethylene
at a dry cleaner as soon as possible.
Tire pressure not reached
If a tire pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
has not been achieved after a maximum of
10 minutes:
XSwitch off the tire inflation compressor.
XUnscrew the filler hose from the valve of
the faulty tire.
XVery slowly drive forwards or reverse
approximately 30 ft (10 m).
XPump up the tire again.
After a maximum of 10 minutes, the tire
pressure must be at least 180 kPa (1.8 bar/
26 psi).
GWARNING
If the required tire pressure is not reached after the specified time, the tire is too
badly damaged. The tire sealant cannot
repair the tire in this instance. Damaged
tires and a tire pressure that is too low can
significantly impair the vehicle's braking
and driving characteristics. There is a
risk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact a quali-
fied specialist workshop.
Tire pressure reached
GWARNING
A tire temporarily sealed with tire sealant impairs the driving characteristics and is
not suitable for higher speeds. There is a
risk of accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving
style accordingly and drive carefully. Do
not exceed the specified maximum speed
with a tire that has been repaired using
tire sealant.
The maximum speed for a tire sealed with tire
sealant is 50 mph (80 km/h). The 50 mph
(80 km/h) maximum speed sticker must be
affixed to the instrument cluster within the
driver's field of vision.
!After use, excess tire sealant may run out
of the filler hose. This could cause stains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the
plastic bag that contained the TIREFIT kit.
HEnvironmental note
Have the used tire sealant bottle disposed
of professionally, e.g. at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
If a tire pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
has been achieved after 10 minutes:
XSwitch off the tire inflation compressor.
XUnscrew the filler hose from the valve of
the faulty tire.
XStow the tire sealant bottle and the tire
inflation compressor.
XPull away immediately.
XStop after driving for approximately
2 miles (3 km) and check the tire pressure
with the tire inflation compressor.
The tire pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).

on the mixing ratio does not affect the func-
tion.
iWhen the vehicle is first delivered, it is
filled with a coolant mixture that ensures
adequate antifreeze and corrosion protec-
tion.
iThe coolant is checked with every main-
tenance interval at a qualified specialist
workshop.
Windshield washer system
General notes
!Do not add distilled or de-ionized water
to the washer fluid container. Otherwise,
the level sensor may be damaged.
!Only MB SummerFit and MB WinterFit
washer fluid should be mixed together. The spray nozzles may otherwise become
blocked.
When handling washer fluid, observe the
important safety notes on service products
(
Ypage 207).
At temperatures above freezing:
XFill the washer fluid reservoir with a mix- ture of water and windshield washer fluid,
e.g. MB SummerFit.
Add 1 part MB SummerFit to 100 parts water.
At temperatures below freezing:
XFill the washer fluid reservoir with a mix-
ture of water and washer fluid, e.g. MB Win-
terFit.
The correct mixing ratio can be taken from
the information on the antifreeze protec-
tion container.
iAdd windshield washer fluid, e.g. MB
SummerFit or MB WinterFit, to the washer
fluid all year round.
