Dashboard instruments
!Do not drive in the overrevving range, as
this could damage the engine.
HEnvironmental note
Avoid driving at high engine speeds. This
unnecessarily increases the fuel consump-
tion of your vehicle and harms the envi-
ronment as a result of increased emissions.
The overrevving range of the engine is shown with dashed lines in the orange marking of
rev counter 0043. The fuel supply is interrupted
to protect the engine when the overrevving
range is reached.
Dashboard clock 0044is synchronized with the
clock in the on-board computer.
Rev counter 0043, together with dashboard
clock 0044, can be rotated approximately 60° on
the dashboard.
You can additionally set the brightness of the
instrument cluster lighting to different lev-
els (
Ypage 115).

Stop Switch OffEngine
The coolant temperature has exceeded 230 ‡(110 †). The airflow to
the engine radiator may be blocked or the coolant level may be too
low.
GWARNING
The engine is not being cooled sufficiently and may be damaged.
Do not drive when your engine is overheated. This can cause some
fluids which may have leaked into the engine compartment to catch
fire.
Steam from an overheated engine can cause serious burns, which
can occur just by opening the engine compartment cover.
There is a risk of injury.
XPull over and stop the vehicle safely and switch off the engine,
paying attention to road and traffic conditions.
XSecure the vehicle against rolling away (Ypage 100).
XLeave the vehicle and keep a safe distance from the vehicle until
the engine has cooled down.
XCheck the coolant level and top up the coolant. Observe the notes
as you do so (Ypage 210).
XIf you need to add coolant more often than usual, have the engine coolant system checked.
XMake sure that the air supply to the engine radiator is not
blocked, e.g. by snow, slush or ice.
XDo not start the engine again until the coolant temperature is
below 230 ‡(110 †). Otherwise, the engine could be damaged.
Avoid subjecting the engine to heavy loads, e.g. driving in
mountainous terrain, and stop-and-go traffic.

XClose the fuel filler cap.
If the fuel filler cap is correctly closed:
XVisit a qualified specialist workshop.

Do not use power washers with circular jet
nozzles to clean the vehicle. Have damaged
tires or chassis components replaced
immediately.
!Always maintain a distance of at least
11.8 in (30 cm) between the vehicle and the
power washer nozzle. Information about the
correct distance is available from the
equipment manufacturer.
Move the power washer nozzle around when
cleaning your vehicle.
Do not aim directly at any of the following:
Rtires
Rdoor gaps, roof gaps, joints, etc.
Relectrical components
Rbattery
Rconnectors
Rlights
Rseals
Rtrim
Rventilation slots
Damaged seals or electrical components
can lead to leaks or failures.
Cleaning the paintwork
!Do not affix:
Rstickers
Rfilms
Rmagnetic plates or similar items
to painted surfaces. You could otherwise
damage the paintwork.
XRemove dirt immediately, where possible,
while avoiding rubbing too hard.
XSoak insect remains with insect remover
and rinse off the treated areas afterwards.
XSoak bird droppings with water and rinse
off the treated areas afterwards.
XRemove coolant, brake fluid, tree resin,
oils, fuels and greases by rubbing gently
with a cloth soaked in petroleum ether or
lighter fluid.
XUse tar remover to remove tar stains.
XUse silicone remover to remove wax.
XUse a suitable touch-up stick, e.g. MB
Touch-Up Stick, to repair slight damage to
the paintwork quickly and provisionally. The following cannot always be completely
repaired:
Rscratches
Rcorrosive deposits
Rareas affected by corrosion
Rdamage caused by inadequate care
In such cases, visit a qualified specialist
workshop.
When water no longer forms beads on the paint surface, use the care product Paint Care,
which has been approved by smart. This is the
case approximately every three to five
months, depending on the climate conditions
and the care product used.
If the dirt has penetrated the paint surface or
if the paintwork has become dull, then the
paintwork should be cleaned. Use the care
product Paint Care, which has been approved
by smart to clean the paintwork.
Do not use these care products in the sun or on
the hood while the hood is hot.
Matte finish care
!Never polish the vehicle or the light alloy
wheels. Polishing causes the finish to
shine.
!The following may cause the paint to
become shiny and thus reduce the matte
effect:
Rstrong rubbing of the paintwork with
unsuitable materials
Rfrequent use of automatic car washes
Rwashing the vehicle in direct sunlight
!Never use paint cleaner, buffing or pol-
ishing products, or gloss preserver, e.g.
wax. These products are only suitable for
high-gloss surfaces. Their use on vehicles
with matte finish leads to considerable
surface damage (shiny, mottled areas).
Always have paintwork repairs carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
!Do not use wash programs with a hot wax
treatment under any circumstances.
Observe these notes if your vehicle has a
clear matte finish. This will help you to avoid
damage to the paintwork due to incorrect
treatment.
These notes also apply to light alloy wheels
with a clear matte finish.

Gasoline
Fuel grade
!Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
gasoline engine. Do not switch on the igni-
tion if you accidentally refuel with the
wrong fuel. Otherwise, the fuel will enter
the fuel system. Even small amounts of the
wrong fuel could result in damage to the
fuel system and the engine. Notify a quali-
fied specialist workshop and have the fuel
tank and fuel lines drained completely.
!Only refuel using premium-grade unlea-
ded gasoline with at least 91 AKI/95 RON
(91 octane).
!Only use the fuel recommended. Operating
the vehicle with other fuels can lead to
engine failure.
!Do not use the following:
RE85 (gasoline with 85% ethanol)
RE100 (100% ethanol)
RM15 (gasoline with 15% methanol)
RM30 (gasoline with 30% methanol)
RM85 (gasoline with 85% methanol)
RM100 (100% methanol)
RGasoline with metalliferous additives
RDiesel
Do not mix such fuels with the fuel recom-
mended for your vehicle. Do not use addi-
tives. Engine failure may otherwise occur.
This does not include cleaning additives
for the removal and prevention of residue
build-up. Gasoline must only be mixed with
cleaning additives recommended by smart
(see "Additives"). For further information
inquire at any smart center.
!To ensure the longevity and full perform-
ance of the engine, only premium-grade
unleaded gasoline must be used. If standard unleaded gasoline is unavail-
able and you have to refuel with unleaded
gasoline of a lower grade, observe the fol-
lowing precautions:
ROnly fill the fuel tank to half full with
regular unleaded gasoline and fill the
rest with premium-grade unleaded gas-
oline as soon as possible.
RDo not drive at the maximum speed.
RAvoid sudden acceleration and engine
speeds over 3,000 rpm.
You will usually find information about the
fuel grade on the pump. If you cannot find the
label on the pump, ask the staff for assis-
tance.
iFor further information, consult a quali-
fied specialist workshop or on the Internet
at http://www.smartusa.com (USA only).
iE10 fuel contains up to 10% bioethanol.
Your vehicle is E10-compatible. You can
refuel your vehicle using E10 fuel.
As a temporary measure, if the recommended
fuel is not available, you may also use regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of
87 AKI/91 RON. This may reduce engine per-
formance and increase fuel consumption.
Avoid driving at full throttle and sudden
acceleration. Never refuel using fuel with a
lower octane rating.
Information on refueling (
Ypage 97).
Additives
!Operating the engine with subsequently
added fuel additives can lead to engine
damage. Do not mix any fuel additives with the fuel. This does not include additives
for the removal and prevention of residue
buildup. Gasoline must only be mixed with
additives recommended by smart. Comply
with the instructions for use on the product
label. For further information on recom-
mended additives, inquire at any smart
center.
smart recommends that you use fuel brands
that have additives.
The quality of the fuel available in some
countries may not be sufficient. Residue
could build up in the injection system as a
result. In this case, in consultation with a
smart center, the gasoline may be mixed with
the cleaning additive recommended by smart.
