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.

ing agents recommended and approved by
smart.
The surface may change color temporarily.

Cleaning the seat covers
General notes
!Do not use a microfiber cloth to clean
covers made out of real leather, artificial leather or DINAMICA. If used often, these
can damage the cover.
iNote that regular care is essential to
ensure that the appearance and comfort of
the covers is retained over time.
Genuine leather seat covers
Leather is a natural product.
It exhibits natural surface characteristics,
for example:
RDifferences in the texture
Rmarks caused by growth and injury
RSlight nuances of color
These are characteristics of leather and not
material defects.
!To retain the natural appearance of the
leather, observe the following cleaning
instructions:
RClean genuine leather covers carefully
with a damp cloth and then wipe the cov-
ers down with a dry cloth.
RMake sure that the leather does not
become soaked. It may otherwise become
rough and cracked.
ROnly use leather care agents that have
been recommended by smart. You can
obtain these from a qualified specialist
workshop.
Seat covers of other materials
!Observe the following when cleaning:
Rclean artificial leather covers with a
cloth moistened with a solution contain-
ing 1% detergent (e.g. dish washing liq-
uid).
Rclean cloth covers with a microfiber
cloth moistened with a solution contain-
ing 1% detergent (e.g. dish washing liq-
uid). Rub carefully and always wipe
entire seat sections to avoid leaving
visible lines. Leave the seat to dry
afterwards. Cleaning results depend on
the type of dirt and how long it has been
there.
Rclean DINAMICA covers with a damp cloth.
Make sure that you wipe entire seat sec-
tions to avoid leaving visible lines.
Cleaning the seat belts
GWARNING
Seat belts can become severely weakened if bleached or dyed. This could cause the seat
belts to tear or fail, for instance, in the
event of an accident. This poses an
increased risk of injury or fatal injury.
Never bleach or dye the seat belts.
!Do not clean the seat belts using chemical
cleaning agents. Do not dry the seat belts by
heating at temperatures above 176 ‡(80 †)
or in direct sunlight.
XUse clean, lukewarm water and soap solu-
tion.

Operating Fluids 310.1 and 325.6 can be mixed
together. An orange discoloration depending
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.
