Protection of the environment
General notes
HEnvironmental note
Daimler's declared policy is one of com-
prehensive environmental protection.
The objectives are for the natural resour-
ces that form the basis of our existence on
this planet to be used sparingly and in a
manner that takes the requirements of both
nature and humanity into account.
You too can help to protect the environment
by operating your vehicle in an environ-
mentally responsible manner.
Fuel consumption and the rate of engine,
transmission, brake and tire wear are
affected by these factors:
Roperating conditions of your vehicle
Ryour personal driving style
You can influence both factors. You should
bear the following in mind:
Operating conditions:
Ravoid short trips as these increase fuel
consumption.
Ralways make sure that the tire pressures
are correct.
Rdo not carry any unnecessary weight.
Ra regularly serviced vehicle will con-
tribute to environmental protection. You
should therefore adhere to the service
intervals.
RAlways have service work carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style:
Rdo not depress the accelerator pedal
when starting the engine.
Rdo not warm up the engine when the vehi-
cle is stationary.
Rdrive carefully and maintain a safe dis- tance from the vehicle in front.
Ravoid frequent, sudden acceleration and
braking.
Rchange gear in good time and use each
gear only up to 00C3of its maximum engine
speed.
Rswitch off the engine in stationary traf-
fic.
Rkeep an eye on the vehicle's fuel con-
sumption.
Environmental concerns and recom-
mendations
Wherever the operating instructions require you to dispose of materials, first try to
regenerate or re-use them. Observe the rel-
evant environmental rules and regulations
when disposing of materials. In this way you
will help to protect the environment.
Genuine smart parts
HEnvironmental note
Daimler AG also supplies reconditioned
major assemblies and parts which are of the
same quality as new parts. They are covered
by the same Limited Warranty entitlements
as new parts.
!Air bags and Emergency Tensioning Devi-
ces, as well as control units and sensors for
these restraint systems, may be installed
in the following areas of your vehicle:
Rdoors
Rdoor pillars
Rdoor sills
Rseats
Rcockpit
Rinstrument cluster
Rcenter console
Do not install accessories such as audio
systems in these areas. Do not carry out
repairs or welding. You could impair the
operating efficiency of the restraint sys-
tems.
Have aftermarket accessories installed at
a qualified specialist workshop.
You could jeopardize the operating safety of
your vehicle if you use parts, tires and wheels
16>> Introduction.

will be determined by our authorized smart
center technical help or the tow service pro-
vider on a case-by-case basis. Additional
charges may be applicable for a breakdown
location determined not to be a reasonably
accessible roadside location as determined
by our authorized technician and tow service
provider.
For additional information refer to the smart
Roadside Assistance Program brochure (USA)
or the Warranty Booklet (Canada) in your vehi-
cle literature portfolio.
Change of address or change of owner-
ship
In the USA: If you change your address, be sure
to send in the “Information Change Card”
found in the Warranty Information Booklet.
In Canada: If you change your address, be sure
to send in the “Change of Address Notice”
found in the Warranty Booklet, or simply call
the Customer Service at 1-800-387-0100.
Maintaining your current address informa-
tion with smart will enable us to contact you
should important new information about the
vehicle, such as recalls, become available.
If you sell your smart, please leave all liter- ature with the vehicle to make it available to
the next operator.
In the USA: If you bought this vehicle used, be
sure to send in the “Information Change Card”
found in the Warranty Information Booklet.
In Canada: If you bought this vehicle used, be
sure to send in the “Notice of Pre‑Owned
Vehicle Purchase” found in the Warranty
Booklet, or call the Customer Service at
1-800-387-0100.
Operating your vehicle outside the USA
or Canada
When you are abroad with your vehicle,
observe the following points:
RService facilities or replacement parts
may not be readily available.
RUnleaded gasoline for vehicles with cata-
lytic converters may not be available; the use of leaded fuels will damage the cata-
lysts.
RGasoline may have a considerably lower
octane rating, and improper fuel can cause
engine damage.
Operating safety
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you do not have the prescribed service/
maintenance work or any required repairs
carried out, this can result in malfunctions or system failures. There is a risk of an
accident.
Always have the prescribed service/main-
tenance work as well as any required
repairs carried out at a qualified special-
ist workshop.
GWARNING
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact
with hot parts of the exhaust system. There
is a risk of fire.
When driving off road or on unpaved roads,
check the vehicle's underside regularly. In
particular, remove parts of plants or other
flammable materials which have become
trapped. In the case of damage, contact a
qualified specialist workshop.
GWARNING
Modifications to electronic components,
their software as well as wiring can impair
their function and/or the function of other
networked components. In particular, sys-
tems relevant to safety could also be affec-
ted. As a result, these may no longer func-
tion as intended and/or jeopardize the
operating safety of the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an accident and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software.
You should have all work to electrical and

let.
Always have the following work carried out at
a smart center:
Rwork relevant to safety
Rservice and maintenance work
Rrepair work
Ralterations, installation work and modifi-
cations
Rwork on electronic components
Correct use
If you remove any warning stickers, you or
others could fail to recognize certain dan-
gers. Leave warning stickers in position.

driving your vehicle:
Rthe safety notes in this manual
Rthe Technical Data section in this manual
Rtraffic rules and regulations
Rlaws and safety standards pertaining to
motor vehicles
Problems with your vehicle
If you should experience a problem with your
vehicle, particularly one that you believe
may affect its safe operation, we urge you to
immediately contact an authorized smart
center to have the problem diagnosed and
corrected if required. Do not drive the vehi-
cle if you believe it may not be safely oper-
ated. If the matter is not handled to your sat-
isfaction, please discuss the problem with
the smart center management, or if necessarycontact us at one of the following addresses:

QR codes for rescue card
The QR codes are secured in the fuel filler
flap and on the opposite side on the B-pillar.
In the event of an accident, rescue services
can use the QR code to quickly find the appro-
priate rescue card for your vehicle. The cur-
rent rescue card contains the most important
information about your vehicle in a compact
form, e.g. the routing of the electric cables.

Data stored in the vehicle
Data recording
This vehicle is capable of recording diag-
nostic information relating to vehicle oper-
ation, malfunctions, and user settings. This
may include information about the perform-
ance or status of various systems, including
but not limited to, engine, throttle, steering
or brake systems, that is stored and can be
read out with suitable devices, particularly
when the vehicle is serviced. The data
obtained is used to properly diagnose and
service your vehicle or to further optimize
and develop vehicle functions.
Event data recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is
to record data that will assist in understand-
ing how a vehicle’s systems performed in cer-
tain crash or near crash-like situations, such
as during air bag deployment or when hitting
a road obstacle. The EDR is designed to record
