General notes H Environmental note Daimler's declared policy is one of inte- grated environmental protection. The objectives are for the natural resour- ces which form the basis of our existence on this planet to be used sparingly and in a manner which takes the requirements of both nature and humanity into account. You too can help to protect the environ- ment by operating your vehicle in an envi- ronmentally responsible manner. Fuel consumption and the rate of engine, transmission, brake and tyre wear depend on the following 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. Rmake sure that the tyre pressures are always correct. Rdo not carry any unnecessary weight. Rkeep an eye on the vehicle's fuel con- sumption. Rremove rear racks once you no longer need them. Ra regularly serviced vehicle will con- tribute to environmental protection. You should therefore adhere to the service intervals. Ralways have maintenance work carried out at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart Centre. Personal driving style Rdo not depress the accelerator pedal when starting the engine. Rdo not warm up the engine with the vehi- cle stationary. Rdrive carefully and maintain a safe dis- tance from the vehicle in front. Ravoid frequent, sudden acceleration. Rchange gear in good time, if possible in accordance with the gearshift recom- mendations in the multifunction dis- play. Rshift up to the next gear as early as pos- sible. Rswitch off the engine in stationary traf- fic. Returning an end-of-life vehicle EU countries only: smart will take back your end-of-life vehicle for environment-friendly disposal in accordance with the European Union (EU) End-Of-Life Vehicles Directive. This makes an important contribution to closing the recycling circle and conserving resources. A network of vehicle take-back points and dismantlers has been established for you to return your vehicle. Returning vehicles to these facilities is free of charge. For further information about the recycling and disposal of end-of-life vehicles, and the take-back conditions, please visit the national smart website for your country. smart genuine parts H Environmental note Daimler AG also supplies reconditioned assemblies and parts which are of the same quality as new parts. For these, the same warranty applies as for new parts. ! Airbags and seat belt tensioners, 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 Rdashboard

Rcentre 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 accessories retrofitted at a qualified specialist workshop. Only smart genuine parts or parts of the same quality may be used. In addition, only approved wheels, tyres and accessories for the particular type of vehicle may be used. Always specify the vehicle identification number (VIN) when ordering smart genuine parts. Using parts, tyres, wheels or safety-relevant equipment not approved by smart could jeopardise the operational safety of the vehi- cle. Safety-relevant systems, such as the brake system, may malfunction. smart tests genuine parts and conversion parts and accessories that have been specif- ically approved for your vehicle for their reliability, safety and suitability. Despite ongoing market research, smart is unable to assess other parts. smart therefore accepts no responsibility for the use of such parts in smart vehicles, even if they have been offi- cially approved or independently approved by a testing centre. In Germany, certain parts are only officially approved for installation or modification if they comply with legal requirements. This also applies to some other countries. All gen- uine smart parts meet the approval require- ments. The use of non-approved parts may invalidate the vehicle's general operating permit. The following situations will invalidate the operating permit: RThe vehicle type changes from that stated in the vehicle's operating permit, due to modifications. ROther road users are likely to be endan- gered. REmissions or noise characteristics deteri- orate. Warranty for the smart Audio-System and smart Media-System The smart sales organisation provides a war- ranty for a period of 24 months without a kil- ometre limit for the smart Audio-System and the smart Media-System. The warranty issuer is the respective sales organisation in the country in which the accessory or replacement part was pur- chased (see list in the service booklet). Vehicle equipment This Owner's Manual describes all models and all standard and optional equipment available for the vehicle at the time of pub- lication of this Owner's Manual. Country- specific differences are possible. Please note that the vehicle equipment may differ from certain descriptions and illustrations provi- ded in this manual. This is also the case for systems and functions relevant to safety. The vehicle's original purchase contract documentation contains a list of all the sys- tems in your vehicle. Please contact any smart centre to help clarify any questions related to the vehicle equipment and opera- tion. Operating safety Important safety notes G WARNING If you do not have the prescribed service/ maintenance work or necessary repairs carried out, this could result in malfunc- tions or system failures. There is a risk of an accident. Always have the prescribed service/main- tenance work as well as necessary repairs carried out at a qualified specialist work- shop.

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. G WARNING If you operate information and communi- cation equipment integrated in the vehicle when driving, you could be distracted from the traffic situation. This could also cause you to lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident. Only operate this equipment when the traffic situation permits. If you cannot be sure of this, stop the vehicle paying atten- tion to road and traffic conditions and operate the equipment with the vehicle stationary. G WARNING Modifications to electronic components, their software as well as wiring could affect their function and/or the operation of other networked components. This could in particular also be the case for systems relevant to safety. They might not function properly anymore and/or jeopardise the operational safety of the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an accident and injury. Do not attempt to modify the wiring as well as electronic components or their software. Always have work on electrical and elec- tronic components carried out at a quali- fied specialist workshop. You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driv- ing when operating information systems and communication devices integrated into the vehicle: If you make any changes to the vehicle elec- tronics, the general operating permit is ren- dered invalid. ! There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if: Rthe vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high kerb or an unpaved road Ryou drive too quickly over an obstacle, e.g. a kerb, slowing thresholds or a pot- hole in the road Ra heavy object strikes the underbody or parts of the chassis In situations like this, the body, under- body, chassis parts, wheels or tyres could be damaged without the damage being visible. Components damaged in this way can unexpectedly fail or, in the case of an accident, no longer withstand the strain they are designed to withstand. If the underbody panelling is damaged, combustible materials such as leaves, grass or twigs can gather between the underbody and the underbody panelling. If these materials come into contact with hot parts of the exhaust system, they can catch fire. In such situations, have the vehicle checked and repaired immediately at a qualified specialist workshop. If, on con- tinuing your journey, you notice that driv- ing safety is impaired, stop the vehicle immediately, paying attention to road and traffic conditions. In such cases, consult a qualified specialist workshop. The multimedia device is equipped with technical provisions to protect it against theft. Further information is available from any smart centre. The functionality of a roof aerial (radio, DAB) may be impaired if roof carriers are used. Metallised retrofit film on windows may also affect radio and GPS reception and have a negative impact on all other aerial functions in the vehicle interior.

compliant with the basic requirements and all other relevant regulations stipulated in the 1999/5/EC Directive. Further information is available from any smart centre. Electromagnetic compatibility The electromagnetic compatibility of the vehicle components has been checked and certified according to the currently valid version of Regulation ECE-R 10. Diagnostics connection The diagnostics connection is only intended for the connection of diagnostic equipment at a qualified specialist workshop. G WARNING If you connect equipment to a diagnostics connection in the vehicle, it may affect the operation of vehicle systems. As a result, the operating safety of the vehicle could be affected. There is a risk of an accident. Only connect equipment to a diagnostics connection in the vehicle, which is approved for your vehicle by Mercedes- Benz. G WARNING Objects in the driver's footwell may restrict the clearance around the pedals or block a depressed pedal. This jeopardises the operating and road safety of the vehi- cle. There is a risk of an accident. Stow all objects securely in the vehicle so that they do not get into the driver's foot- well. Always fit the floormats securely and as prescribed in order to ensure that there is always sufficient room for the pedals. Do not use loose floormats and do not place several floormats on top of one another. ! If the engine is switched off and a device is connected to a diagnostic connection, the battery may become discharged. Connecting equipment to the diagnostics connection can lead to emissions monitoring information being reset, for example. This may lead to the vehicle failing to meet the requirements of the next emissions test dur- ing the main inspection. Qualified specialist workshop A qualified specialist workshop has the nec- essary special skills, tools and qualifications to correctly carry out any necessary work on your vehicle. This particularly applies to work relevant to safety. Observe the information contained in the Service Booklet. Always have the following work carried out on your vehicle at a smart centre: Rwork relevant to safety Rservice and maintenance work Rrepair work Rmodifications, installations and conver- sions Rwork on electronic components You can obtain current information concern- ing the servicing of your vehicle at any time from a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart centre. Vehicle registration smart may ask its smart centres to carry out technical inspections on certain vehicles. The quality or safety of the vehicle is improved as a result of the inspection. smart is only able to notify the vehicle owner about vehicle inspections if smart has the vehicle registration data. In the following cases, it is possible that a vehicle has not yet been registered in the owner's name: Rthe vehicle was not purchased at an authorised specialist dealer Rthe vehicle has not yet been examined at a smart centre smart recommends registering the vehicle in a smart centre. Notify smart as soon as possible if there is a change of address or if ownership of the vehicles changes. This can be done at a smart centre, for example. 24

If warning stickers are removed, you may fail to recognise certain dangers. Leave warning stickers in place. The following are important sources of infor- mation in regard to vehicle use: Rsafety notes in this Owner's Manual Rtechnical data in this Owner's Manual Rtraffic rules and regulations Rlaws and safety standards pertaining to motor vehicles Implied warranty ! Follow the instructions in this manual about the proper operation of your vehicle as well as about possible vehicle damage. Damage to your vehicle that arises from culpable contraventions against these instructions is not covered either by the smart implied warranty or by the New or Used-Vehicle Warranty. QR codes for rescue card The QR code is on the fuel filler flap and on the door pillar (B-pillar), on the opposite side. In the event of an accident, rescue serv- ices can use the QR code to quickly determine the corresponding rescue card for a vehicle. The current rescue card contains the most important information about the vehicle in compact form, such as the routing of the electric cables. Further information: www.mercedes-benz.de/qr-code Data stored in the vehicle Information from electronic control units Your vehicle is equipped with electronic control units. Some of them are necessary for your vehicle to function safely, some provide support when driving (driver assistance systems). In addition, your vehicle offers comfort or entertainment functions which are also made possible with electronic con- trol units. Electronic control units contain data memo- ries which can permanently or temporarily store technical information on vehicle con- dition, component stress, service require- ments as well as technical incidents and faults. This information generally documents the condition of a component, a module, a system or of the environment such as: Roperating states of system components (e.g. fluid levels, battery status, tyre pres- sure) Rstatus messages of the vehicle or its indi- vidual components (e.g. wheel revolu- tions/speed, deceleration in movement, lateral acceleration, display of seat belts fastened) Rmalfunctions and defects in key system components (e.g. the lights and brakes) Rinformation on incidents in which the vehicle is damaged Rreactions of the systems in specific driv- ing situations (e.g. deployment of an air- bag, use of stability control systems) Rambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain sensor) In addition to the provision of control unit functions, this data serves to detect and rec- tify faults as well as to optimise vehicle functions by the manufacturer. Most of this data is volatile and is only processed in the vehicle itself. Only a small proportion of the data is stored in event or error memories. When service work is done on your vehicle, the technical data from the vehicle can be read out by service network staff or third parties. Service work is, for example, repair work, maintenance, warranty claims and quality assurance measures. The data is read out using the legally prescribed OBD (Euro- pean On-board Diagnostics) connector in the vehicle. The respective workshop of service network or third parties collect, process and use the data. The data documents technical states of the vehicle, help in finding errors and in improving quality and are transferred to the manufacturer if necessary. In addition, the manufacturer is subject to product lia- bility. For this purpose, the manufacturer requires technical data from vehicles. Error memories in the vehicle can be reset by a service outlet during repairs or service work.

This includes, for example: Rmultimedia data, such as music, films or photos for playback in an integrated mul- timedia system Raddress book data for use in an integrated hands-free system or an integrated navi- gation system Rnavigation destinations entered Rdata on the use of Internet services This data can be saved locally in the vehicle or it is located on a device which you have connected to the vehicle. As long as this data is saved in the vehicle, you can delete it at any time. Transfer of this data to third par- ties only occurs at your request, especially as part of online services according to the settings you have selected. You can save comfort settings/individuali- sation in the vehicle and change them at any time. Depending on the equipment, these include, for example: Rsettings of the seat and steering wheel positions Rchassis and climate control settings Rindividualisation such as interior lighting As long as your vehicle is suitably equipped, you can connect your mobile phone or another mobile end device with the vehicle. You can operate these devices via the control elements integrated in the vehicle. Images and sound from the mobile phone can played back via the multimedia system. At the same time, certain information is transferred to your mobile phone. This includes, depending on the type of inte- gration, for example: Rgeneral vehicle information Rposition data This allows the use of selected mobile phone apps, e.g. navigation or music playback. There is no further interaction between mobile phone and vehicle; in particular there is no active access to vehicle data. How data is further processed is determined by the provider of the specific app used. Which set- tings you can make, if any, depends on the specific app and the operating system of your mobile phone. Service providers Wireless network connection In as far as your vehicle has a wireless net- work connection, this will permit the exchange of data between your vehicle and further systems. The wireless network con- nection is enabled by a transmission and reception device installed in the vehicle or via mobile end devices (e.g. mobile phones) you bring into the vehicle. Online functions can be used via this wireless network con- nection. These include online services and applications/apps, which are provided by the manufacturer or by other providers. Manufacturer's own services For online services of the manufacturer, the manufacturer describes the specific func- tions and the associated data protection information in an appropriate place. Per- sonal identification data may be used to pro- vide online services. Data transfer to this end occurs via a protected connection e. g. using the IT systems of the manufacturer provided for this purpose. The collecting, processing, and use of personal identification data beyond the provision of services occurs exclusively on the basis of a legal permit or after due consent. Generally, you can enable or disable the services and functions (which sometimes have associated costs). In some cases, this also applies to the whole data connection of the vehicle. Excluded from this are special legally prescribed functions and services. Services of third parties In as far as it is possible to use the online services of other providers, these services are subject to the responsibility as well as the data protection and terms of use of the respective provider. The manufacturer has no influence on the contents exchanged whilst using these services. Please ask the respective service provider for details on the type, extent and purpose of the 26

Restraint system Protection provided by the restraint sys- tem The restraint system comprises: RSeat belt system RAirbags RChild restraint system RChild seat securing systems In the event of an accident, the restraint sys- tem can: Rreduce the risk of vehicle occupants com- ing into contact with parts of the vehicle interior. Rreduce the forces to which vehicle occu- pants are subjected Only a seat belt which is worn correctly can provide the intended level of protection. The belt tensioners and/or airbags can comple- ment a correctly worn seat belt depending on the detected accident situation. Belt ten- sioners and airbags are not necessarily deployed in every accident. For the restraint system to provide its full protection, each occupant has to: Rhave the seat belt fastened correctly Rbe in an almost upright position with their back against the seat backrest Rsit with their feet resting on the floor, if possible Rif below 1.50 m in height, be secured using an additional restraint system suitable for your vehicle However, no system available today can completely eliminate injuries and fatalities in every accident situation. In particular, seat belts and airbags generally do not pro- tect against objects penetrating the vehicle from the outside. The risk of an injury result- ing from airbag deployment cannot be ruled out entirely either. Limited protection from restraint system G WARNING If the restraint system is modified, it may no longer work as intended. The restraint system may then not perform its intended protective function by failing in an acci- dent or triggering unexpectedly, for exam- ple. There is an increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal. Never modify parts of the restraint system. Do not attempt to modify the wiring as well as electronic components or their software. If it is necessary to adjust the vehicle to accommodate a person with disabilities, contact a qualified specialist workshop. smart recommends that you use driving aids which have been approved specifically for your vehicle by smart. Preparing the restraint system for oper- ation When the ignition is switched on, the 6 restraint system warning lamp lights up during the system self-test. It goes out no later than a few seconds after the vehicle is started. The components of the restraint sys- tem are then ready for operation. Restraint system malfunctions RThe restraint system warning lamp 6 does not light up when the ignition is switched on. RThe restraint system warning lamp 6 is constantly lit or lights up repeatedly when driving. G WARNING If the restraint system is malfunctioning, restraint system components may be trig- gered unintentionally or may not deploy as intended during an accident. This may affect the seat belt tensioner or airbag, for example. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury. Have the restraint system checked and repaired immediately at a qualified spe- cialist workshop. 34 Occupant safety

Restraint system response during an¶
Forfour_454_Owner_Manual_217p.pdf · p. 52 · Applies to: 454
accident The way the restraint system responds depends on the severity of the impact detec- ted and the apparent type of accident: RHead-on collision RRear impact RSide impact The activation threshold for the restraint system components is determined based on the analysis of the sensor values measured at various points in the vehicle. This process is pre-emptive in nature. The triggering proc- ess of the restraint system components should take place in good time at the start of the collision. Factors which can only be seen and meas- ured after a collision has occurred do not play a decisive role in the deployment of an airbag, nor do they provide an indication of airbag deployment. The vehicle may be deformed significantly without an airbag being deployed. This is the case if only parts which are relatively easily deformed are affected and the rate of vehicle deceleration is not high. Conversely, an air- bag may be deployed even though the vehicle suffers only minor deformation. If, for instance, very rigid vehicle parts such as longitudinal body members are hit, the rate of vehicle deceleration may be sufficient. The restraint system components can be activated or triggered independently of each other: Component Detected trigger sit- uation Belt tensioners Head-on collision, rear impact, side impact Driver's airbag, front-passenger front airbag and kneebag Head-on collision Sidebag Side impact G WARNING After the airbag deploys, the airbag parts are hot. There is a risk of injury. Do not touch the airbag parts. Have a deployed airbag replaced at a qualified specialist workshop as soon as possible. i smart recommends that you have the vehicle towed to a qualified specialist workshop after an accident. Take this into account, particularly if a seat belt ten- sioner was triggered or an airbag was deployed. If the belt tensioners are triggered or an air- bag is deployed, you will hear a bang, and a small amount of powder may also be released: RThe bang will not usually affect your hear- ing.

Limited protection from seat belts
G WARNING
The seat belt does not offer the intended
level of protection if you have not moved
the backrest to an almost vertical position.
When braking or in the event of an acci-
dent, you could slide underneath the seat
belt and sustain abdomen or neck injuries,
for example. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
Adjust the seat properly before beginning
your journey. Always ensure that the
backrest is in an almost vertical position
and that the shoulder section of your seat-
belt is routed across the centre of your
shoulder.
G WARNING
Persons under 1.50 m tall cannot wear the
seat belts correctly without an additional
suitable restraint system. If the seat belt is
worn incorrectly, it cannot perform its
intended protective function. Further-
more, an incorrectly worn seat belt can
cause additional injuries, e.g. in the event
of an accident, heavy braking or sudden
changes of direction. There is an increased
risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Always secure persons less than 1.50 m tall
in additional suitable restraint systems.
G WARNING
Seat belts cannot protect as intended, if:
Rthey are damaged, have been modified,
are extremely dirty, bleached or dyed
Rthe seat belt buckle is damaged or
extremely dirty
Rmodifications have been made to the belt
tensioners, belt anchorages or inertia
reels
Seat belts may sustain non-visible dam-
age in an accident, e.g. due to glass splint-
ers. Modified or damaged seat belts can
tear or fail, for example in the event of an
accident. Modified seat belt tensioners
may be deployed unintentionally or not
function as intended. There is an increased
risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Never modify seat belts, seat belt tension-
ers, seat belt anchorages and inertia reels.
Ensure that seat belts are not damaged or
worn and are clean. After an accident, have
the seat belts checked immediately at a
qualified specialist workshop.
smart recommends that you only use seat
belts which have been approved specifically
for your vehicle by smart.

Overview of airbags The installation location of an airbag is identified by the AIRBAG symbol. A deployed airbag can increase the level of protection provided to the vehicle occupant. AIRBAG Possible protection for: : Kneebag Thigh, knee and lower leg ; Driver's air- bag Head and thorax = Front- passenger front airbag Head and thorax ? Sidebag Head and thorax The front-passenger front airbag can only be deployed in an accident if the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is lit. If the front- passenger seat is occupied, make sure that the status of the front-passenger front air- bag is correct both before and during the journey (Y page 39). Protection provided by the airbags Depending on the accident situation, an air- bag supplements a correctly worn seat belt and can increase protection. G WARNING If you deviate from the correct seat posi- tion, the airbag cannot perform its inten- ded protective function and can even cause additional injuries when deployed. There is an increased risk of serious or even fatal injuries. In order to avoid such risks, always ensure that all vehicle occupants: Rfasten their seatbelts correctly, includ- ing pregnant women Rare seated correctly and maintain the furthest possible distance from the air- bags Robserve the following notes Always ensure that there are no objects located between the airbag and the vehicle occupant. To avoid risks resulting from a deployed air- bag: Radjust the seats properly before beginning your journey. Move the driver's and co- driver's seats as far back as possible Always observe the information on the correct driver's seat position (Y page 56). Rhold the steering wheel by the rim only. This allows the airbag to deploy fully Ralways lean against the backrest while driving. Do not lean forwards or against the door or side window. Otherwise, you are in the airbags' deployment area Rfeet should always be placed on the ground. Do not place your feet on the dash- board, for example. Otherwise, your feet are in the airbag's deployment area Rwhen travelling with children in the vehi- cle, observe the additional notes (Y page 40) Ralways stow objects correctly and securely Objects in the vehicle interior may prevent the airbag from functioning correctly. Therefore, always make sure that: Rthere are no people, animals or objects between the vehicle occupants and the airbag Rthere are no objects between the seat, door and B-pillar Rthere are no hard objects, e.g. coat hang- ers, hanging on the grab handles or coat hooks Rthere are no accessories, such as drinks can holders, attached in the airbag's 38 Occupant safety

dows or side trim panels Rthere are no heavy, sharp-edged or fragile objects in the pockets of your clothing. Stow such objects in a suitable place Limited protection from airbags G WARNING If you modify an airbag cover or affix objects such as stickers to it, the airbag can no longer function correctly. There is an increased risk of injury. Never modify an airbag cover or affix objects to it. G WARNING Unsuitable seat covers may obstruct or even prevent deployment of the airbags integrated into the seats. The airbags may then fail to protect the vehicle occupants as intended. There is an increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal. Use only seat covers which have been spe- cifically approved for the respective seat by smart. G WARNING Sensors to control the airbags are located in the doors. Modifications or work not per- formed correctly to the doors or door pan- elling, as well as damaged doors, can lead to the function of the sensors being impaired. The airbags might therefore not function properly any more. Consequently, the airbags cannot protect vehicle occu- pants as they are designed to do. This poses an increased risk of injury. Never modify the doors or parts of the doors. Always have work on the doors or door panelling carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. G WARNING An airbag that has been deployed once cannot provide any further protection and, in the event of an accident, can no longer perform its intended protective function. There is an increased risk of injury. Have the vehicle towed to a qualified spe- cialist workshop to have the deployed air- bag replaced. Have deployed airbags replaced immedi- ately. Status of the front-passenger front air- bag PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamps The front-passenger front airbag can be enabled or disabled using the airbag-off switch in the instrument cluster on the front-passenger side (Y page 43). The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp and PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp are part of the front-passenger front airbag deactivation system. The indicator lamps display the status of the front-passenger front airbag. RPASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up: the front-passenger front airbag is disabled. It will then not be deployed in the event of an accident. RPASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up: the front-passenger front airbag is enabled. The front-passenger front airbag may deploy during an accident. If the front-passenger seat is occupied, make sure that the status of the front-passenger front airbag is correct for the prevailing con- ditions both before and during the journey.

Driving safely Driving safety system limitations ! Make sure you have suitable tyres, so that assistance systems and driving safety systems can work as effectively as possible. If you fail to adapt your driving style or if you are inattentive, the driving safety systems can neither reduce the risk of accident nor override the laws of physics. Driving safety systems are merely aids designed to assist driving. You are responsible for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed and for braking in good time. Always adapt your driving style to suit the prevailing road, weather and traffic conditions and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. Drive carefully. For safety reasons, smart recommends that you only use snow chains that have been specially approved for your vehicle by smart. Further information can be obtained at a smart centre or a qualified specialist work- shop. Braking with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) ABS regulates brake pressure in such a way that the wheels do not lock when you brake. This allows you to continue steering the vehicle when braking. Driving safely 51

warning lamp in the instrument cluster lights up. It goes out after the engine is star- ted. ABS works from a speed of about 6 km/h, regardless of road-surface conditions. ABS intervenes in the case of slippery road sur- faces, even when you only brake gently. X To brake while ABS intervenes: continue to depress the brake pedal with force until the braking situation is over. X To make a full brake application: depress the brake pedal with full force. G WARNING If ABS is faulty, the wheels could lock when braking. The steerability and braking characteristics may be severely impaired. Additionally, further driving safety sys- tems are deactivated. There is an increased danger of skidding and accidents. Drive on carefully. Have ABS checked immediately at a qualified specialist workshop. Using the forward collision warning Useful information If a risk of collision with the vehicle in front is detected, the forward collision warning alerts the driver both visually and acousti- cally. With the help of the radar sensor system, the forward collision warning can detect obsta- cles that are in the path of your vehicle for an extended period of time. Up to a speed of approximately 70 km/h, the forward collision warning can react to sta- tionary obstacles, such as stationary or parked vehicles. Please note i Observe the notes in the "Limitations of the driving safety systems" (Y page 51) section. G WARNING The distance warning function does not react: Rto people or animals Rto oncoming vehicles Rto crossing traffic Rwhen cornering The distance warning function may not give warnings in all critical situations. There is a risk of an accident. Always pay careful attention to the traffic situation and be ready to brake. Always adapt your speed to suit the pre- vailing road and traffic conditions. G WARNING The distance warning function cannot always clearly identify objects and com- plex traffic situations. In such cases, the distance warning func- tion may: Rgive an unnecessary warning Rnot give a warning There is a risk of an accident. Always pay careful attention to the traffic situation; do not rely on the distance warning function alone. The · warning lamp in the instrument cluster lights up if: Rthe distance maintained to the vehicle travelling in front is insufficient Rthe vehicle is rapidly approaching a vehi- cle travelling in front or a stationary object. In this case, an intermittent warn- ing tone also sounds Detection can be restricted under the follow- ing conditions: Rthe vehicle is new or service work has been carried out on the system. In this case, observe the information on running-in the vehicle Rthe sensors are dirty or covered Rin heavy rain or snow Rthere is interference from other radar sources, e.g. in multi-storey car parks 52 Driving safely

e.g. a motorcycle Rthe vehicle travelling in front is travelling on a different line Following any damage to the front end of the vehicle, have the configuration and opera- tion of the radar sensor checked at a quali- fied specialist workshop. This also applies to collisions at slow speeds where there is no visible damage to the front of the vehicle. Switching the forward collision warning on and off The forward collision warning is automati- cally activated when you start the engine. X Press the switch. If the forward collision warning is deacti- vated, the LED on the switch lights up. On-board computer with colour display: the display shows a message. Using Active Brake Assist Useful information With the help of the radar sensor system, Active Brake Assist can calculate the dis- tance of your vehicle to the vehicle travelling in front. If for several seconds, the distance to the vehicle ahead is insufficient for the speed you are driving at, Active Brake Assist alerts the driver visually. If a risk of collision is detected, Active Brake Assist alerts the driver both visually and acoustically. In addition, Active Brake Assist prepares the vehicle for a possible emer- gency braking manoeuvre. In particularly critical situations Active Brake Assist may brake autonomously. In this case, Active Brake Assist continues to alert the driver both visually and acousti- cally. Please note G WARNING Active Brake Assist cannot always clearly identify objects and complex traffic situa- tions. In these cases, Active Brake Assist may: Rwarn or brake for no reason Rnot issue a warning Rnot brake There is a risk of an accident. Always pay careful attention to the traffic situation and do not rely on Active Brake Assist alone. Be prepared to brake or manoeuvre if necessary. G WARNING Active Brake Assist does not react: Rto persons, bicycles, motorcycles or ani- mals Rto approaching vehicles Rto cross traffic Ron bends As a result, Active Brake Assist cannot intervene in all critical situations. There is a risk of an accident. Always pay careful attention to the traffic situation and be prepared to brake. G WARNING Severe jolting, for example in the case of a collision, may cause the radar sensors to be misaligned. The function of Active Brake Assist is then impaired. There is a risk of an accident. Deactivate Active Brake Assist. Have Active Brake Assist checked at a qualified spe- cialist workshop. Driving safely 53

If the brake lamps are inoperative, deacti- vate Active Brake Assist. i Observe the notes on "Limitations of the driving safety systems" (Y page 51). Distance warning and forward collision warning with autonomous braking func- tion Method of operation If the distance maintained to the vehicle ahead is insufficient for the speed you are driving at, the · warning lamp lights up. If Active Brake Assist detects a risk of colli- sion while driving, the · warning lamp lights up and a warning tone sounds. If the driver depresses the brake pedal fast, the braking pressure may be increased to a full brake application. The autonomous braking function may inter- vene if the driver does not react to the forward collision warning. When driving at speeds of more than 30 km/h, the forward collision warning may issue a warning in the following situations: Situation Speed you are trav- elling Vehicles travelling ahead 30 - 140 km/h Vehicles coming to a standstill 30 - 140 km/h Stationary vehicles 30 - 80 km/h Other objects or crossing vehicles No warning possible When driving at speeds of more than 30 km/h, the autonomous braking function may inter- vene in the following situations: Situation Speed you are trav- elling Vehicles travelling ahead 30 - 140 km/h Vehicles coming to a standstill 30 - 140 km/h Stationary vehicles No intervention possible Other objects or crossing vehicles No intervention possible Activating/deactivating Active Brake Assist Active Brake Assist is automatically activa- ted when you start the engine.

at a speed of over 70 km/h, the hazard warn- ing lamps are also switched on automati- cally. The hazard warning lamps switch off automatically if you subsequently drive faster than 10 km/h. Driving with ESP® If ESP® detects that the vehicle is deviating from the direction desired by the driver, one or more wheels are braked to stabilise the vehicle. ESP® supports the driver when pulling away on wet or slippery roads. ESP® can also sta- bilise the vehicle during braking. ESP® com- prises ETS (Electronic Traction System) and Crosswind Assist. ETS brakes the drive wheels individually if they spin. This enables you to pull away and accelerate on slippery surfaces, for example if the road surface is slippery on one side. Strong crosswind gusts can impair the road- holding of your vehicle when driving straight ahead. Crosswind Assist reduces these impairments. Crosswind assist is active at vehicle speeds above 70 km/h when driving straight ahead or cornering gently. If ESP® intervenes, pull away carefully and adapt your driving style to the prevailing road and weather conditions. If the ÷ warning lamp goes out before beginning the journey, ESP® is active. If ESP® intervenes, the ÷ warning lamp flashes in the instrument cluster. G WARNING If ESP® is malfunctioning, ESP® is unable to stabilise the vehicle. In addition, other driving safety systems are switched off. This increases the risk of skidding and an accident. Drive on carefully. Have ESP® checked at a qualified specialist workshop. Information on EBD (Electronic Brake- force Distribution) EBD monitors and controls the brake pres- sure on the rear wheels to improve driving stability while braking. G WARNING If EBD is malfunctioning, the rear wheels can lock, e.g. under full braking. This increases the risk of skidding and an acci- dent. You should therefore adapt your driving style to the different handling character- istics. Have the brake system checked at a qualified specialist workshop. Driving safely 55

Running-in a new vehicle¶
Forfour_454_Owner_Manual_217p.pdf · p. 79 · Applies to: 454
Running-in the engine with due care improves the engine's performance in later years. After 1500 km, the engine speed can be increased gradually. Also follow the notes on running-in when the engine or parts of the drive train have been replaced. In some drive and driving safety systems, the sensor system resets automatically after vehicle delivery or repairs. Full system effectiveness is not reached until the end of this teach-in procedure. During the first 1500 km of the running-in period, note the following: X Drive at varying vehicle and engine speeds. X Avoid high engine loads, such as driving at full throttle. X Drive at a speed that is less than Ô the maximum speed. X Do not use the engine brake to brake. X Vehicles with automatic transmission: do not depress the accelerator beyond the pressure point (kickdown) X Vehicles with automatic transmission: ide- ally drive the vehicle in drive program E (Comfort). New brake pads/linings and discs only reach their optimum braking effect after several hundred kilometres of driving. Therefore, note the following during the running-in period: X Drive carefully. X Brake more firmly. Starting the engine Please note G WARNING If children are left unsupervised in the vehicle, they could: Ropen doors, thereby endangering other persons or road users Rget out and be struck by oncoming traffic Roperate vehicle equipment and become trapped, for example In addition, the children could also set the vehicle in motion, for example, if they: Rrelease the parking brake Rshift the automatic transmission out of park position P or shift manual trans- mission into neutral Rstart the engine There is a risk of an accident and injury. When leaving the vehicle, always take the key with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave children and animals unattended in the vehicle. Keep the keys out of the reach of children. G WARNING Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling these exhaust gases leads to poi- soning. There is a risk of fatal injury. Therefore never leave the engine running in enclosed spaces without sufficient ven- tilation. G WARNING Flammable materials introduced through environmental influence or by animals can ignite if in contact with the exhaust sys- tem or parts of the engine that heat up. There is a risk of fire. Carry out regular checks to make sure that there are no flammable foreign materials in the engine compartment or in the exhaust system. G WARNING If you attach heavy or large objects to the key, the key could be unintentionally turned in the ignition lock. This could cause the engine to be switched off. There is a risk of an accident. Do not attach any heavy or large objects to the key. Remove any bulky keyrings before inserting the key into the ignition lock. !

Driving economically Notes on economical driving H Environmental note CO2 (carbon dioxide) is the gas which sci- entists believe to be principally responsi- ble for global warming (the greenhouse effect). Your vehicle's CO2 emissions are directly related to fuel consumption and therefore depend on: Refficient use of the fuel by the engine Rdriving style Rother non-technical factors, such as environmental influences, road condi- tions or traffic flow You can minimise your vehicle's CO2 emis- sions by driving carefully and having it serviced regularly. Conservative driving and regular vehicle maintenance help minimise CO2 emissions. i Only for certain countries: you can find the current consumption and emission values of your vehicle in the COC docu- ments (EU CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY). These documents are delivered with your vehicle. The consumption figures were in each case based on the currently applicable version: Rfor vehicles that comply with or exceed the EURO 5 standard, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 715/2007 Deviations from these values may occur under normal operating conditions.

Braking correctly¶
Forfour_454_Owner_Manual_217p.pdf · p. 91 · Applies to: 454
Please note G WARNING The braking system can overheat if you leave your foot on the brake pedal while driving. This increases the braking dis- tance and could even cause the braking system to fail. There is a risk of an acci- dent. Never use the brake pedal as a footrest. Do not simultaneously depress both the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal while driving. G WARNING If you shift down on a slippery road surface in an attempt to increase the engine's braking effect, the drive wheels could lose their grip. This increases the risk of skid- ding and having an accident. Do not shift down for additional engine braking on a slippery road surface. Braking on steep downhill gradients The engine's braking effect reduces the load on the brake system. X On long and steep downhill gradients, downshift to a lower gear in good time Braking on wet road surfaces There may be a delayed brake response when driving on wet roads, after driving through a car wash or after driving through deep water. X Maintain a greater distance to the vehicle in front. X Brake more firmly. Braking on salt-treated roads When driving on salt-treated roads, a layer of salt may form on the brake discs and pads. This increases the vehicle's braking dis- tance. X In order to prevent any salt build-up, apply the brakes occasionally while pay- ing attention to the traffic conditions. X Brake carefully at the end of the journey and when starting the next journey. X Maintain a greater distance to the vehicle in front. Driving on wet roads Aquaplaning Depending on driving style and tyre tread depths, aquaplaning can occur on the road. Adapt your driving style as follows: X Reduce the speed. X Brake carefully. X Avoid sudden steering movements. X Avoid tyre ruts. Fording ! Bear in mind that vehicles travelling in front or in the opposite direction create waves. This may cause the maximum per- missible water depth to be exceeded. These notes must be observed under all circumstances. You could otherwise dam- age the engine, the electronics or the transmission. Observe the following when driving through standing water: X Do not drive through water that is higher than the lower edge of the vehicle body. X Drive at walking pace. Winter driving G WARNING If you shift down on a slippery road surface in an attempt to increase the engine's braking effect, the drive wheels could lose their grip.

If the exhaust pipe is blocked or sufficient ventilation is not possible, poisonous exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide may enter the vehicle. This is the case, for example, if the vehicle gets stuck in snow. There is a risk of fatal injury. If you have to leave the engine running, keep the exhaust pipe and the area around the vehicle free of snow. Open a window on the leeward side of the vehicle to ensure an adequate supply of fresh air. X Before the start of winter, have the vehicle checked at a qualified specialist work- shop. X Use winter tyres and, if applicable, snow chains. X Drive carefully and avoid sudden acceler- ation, turning and braking on slippery road surfaces. X Do not use cruise control. X If the vehicle skids, take corrective steer- ing actions to counteract the movement. X Vehicles with automatic transmission: if the vehicle skids, shift the transmission to position i. X Do not use the outside temperature display as a way to determine if conditions are icy. X Observe the road surface. Lane Keeping Assist Please note G WARNING Lane Keeping Assist cannot always clearly detect lane markings. In such cases, Lane Keeping Assist can: Rissue an unnecessary warning Rnot issue a warning There is a risk of an accident. Always pay particular attention to the traffic situation and keep within the lane, especially if Lane Keeping Assist alerts you. G WARNING The Lane Keeping Assist warning does not return the vehicle to the original lane. There is a risk of an accident. Always steer, apply the brakes or acceler- ate the vehicle yourself, especially if Lane Keeping Assist alerts you. Lane Keeping Assist issues an acoustic and visual warning when a vehicle unintention- ally leaves the lane. Lane Keeping Assist uses a camera which is located on the windscreen behind the rear- view mirror. Lane Keeping Assist does not keep your vehi- cle in its lane. The driver is responsible for driving the vehicle in a safe manner and staying within the lane. Lane Keeping Assist could be impaired or fail to respond under the following conditions: Rpoor visibility Rstrong glaring light Rdirty windscreen in the camera area Runclear or broken lane markings Rvery narrow and winding roads Rhighly variable shade conditions on the road When the turn signal is set, warnings are suppressed for a certain period of time.

If you do not know the stored speed, the vehicle can accelerate unexpectedly. There is a risk of an acci- dent. Before you call up the stored speed, pay attention to traffic conditions. If you do not know the stored speed, store the desired speed again. Cruise control is used in order to drive at a constant speed for a prolonged period. The limiter helps to avoid exceeding a stored speed. The driver is responsible for driving the vehicle in a safe manner, controlling the vehicle speed and braking in good time. If there is a change of drivers, inform the new driver of the speed stored. The two driver assist systems require the following: Rfavourable weather and good visibility Rgood road and traffic conditions The cruise control and limiter systems do not brake automatically. Rreduce the vehicle speed by applying the brakes Ron long and steep downhill gradients, downshift to a lower gear in good time Speed regulation is cancelled when the fol- lowing occur: Rbraking (including the parking brake) RESP® intervention On downhill gradients or when accelerating briefly, cruise control may interrupt speed regulation. Afterwards, the set speed is applied again. On downhill slopes, the limiter can exceed the set speed. In this case, the stored speed flashes in the display and a warning tone sounds.

fuel can result in damage to the fuel sys- tem and the engine. Notify a qualified spe- cialist workshop and have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained completely. ! The BRABUS engine is designed for unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rat- ing of 98 RON/88 MON. In countries where unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rat- ing of 98 RON is not available, you can use unleaded fuel with an octane rating of 95 RON in emergencies. This may reduce engine performance and increase fuel con- sumption. When transporting a heavy load, using fuel with 95 RON may result in engine damage. smart recommends that you always operate your vehicle (petrol engine) with unleaded fuel which has a minimum octane rating of 98 RON/88 MON. ! Only refuel using unleaded petrol with at least 95 RON, which conforms to the Euro- pean standard EN 228 or E DIN or an equiv- alent specification. Fuel of this specification may contain up to 10% ethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10 fuel. You may refuel your vehicle using E10 fuel. Fuel that does not conform to EN 228 can lead to increased wear as well as damage to the fuel system, engine and exhaust sys- tem. ! Only use the fuel recommended. Operat- ing the vehicle with other fuels can lead to damage to the fuel system, engine and exhaust system. ! Operation of the engine with fuel addi- tives added later can cause engine dam- age. Therefore, do not mix any fuel addi- tives with the fuel. This does not include additives for the removal and prevention of residue build-up. Petrol must only be mixed with additives recommended by smart. Observe the instructions for use in the product description. For further infor- mation on recommended additives enquire at any smart centre. ! Use a filter when adding fuel from a fuel can. The fuel lines and/or the fuel injection system could otherwise be blocked by par- ticles from the fuel can. ! Take care not to spill any fuel on painted surfaces. You could otherwise damage the paintwork. For further information on fuel and fuel quality (Y page 206). The available fuel grade in some countries may be inadequate. In this case, add the rec- ommended additives. Observe the notes and mixing ratios specified on the container. BRABUS 80 kW: only refuel using unleaded super grade petrol with an octane rating of at least 98 RON/88 MON if you want maximum performance from the engine.

Operating the climate control system Useful information The climate control system is only available when the engine is running. If the climate control system is deactivated, the air supply and circulation are switched off. The windows could mist up. You should therefore switch off the climate control sys- tem for brief periods only. In air-recirculation mode, only the air inside the vehicle is recirculated and no fresh air is introduced. This is useful in a tunnel or when there are unpleasant odours outside the vehicle. In air-recirculation mode, the win- dows may mist up more quickly, particularly when the outside temperature is low. There- fore, switch on air-recirculation mode only briefly. If the automatic start/stop system switches the engine off, the air inside the vehicle will not be air-conditioned or dehumidified. The windows can mist up more quickly. If the windows mist up, deactivate the automatic start/stop system. The engine starts again. The integrated filter in the climate control system keeps out most particles of dust as well as pollen. The filter reduces the amount of air supplied to the vehicle interior. For this reason, you should always observe the inter- val for replacing the filter.

These are offered by certain third parties as well as Daimler AG. Usage occurs via the smart Media-System in the vehicle. The use of data services requires the conclusion of separate agreements between the vehicle user and the respec- tive provider. Voice service usage is not permitted. As such, the SIM card must be permanently installed as factory equip- ment. RThe mobile communications connectivity and the SIM card may only be used respon- sibly in accordance with the applicable laws and other legal requirements of the corresponding countries. Insofar as this is within the power of the vehicle user. RUpgrading, reproduction, reverse assem- bly and disassembly of the SIM card are not permitted. Statutory authority remains unaffected. Failure to follow the above instructions, can in some cases lead to temporary or perma- nent deactivation of the mobile connection and the SIM card. This depends on the severity of non-compliance. The measures described here, contribute in particular towards protecting the Daimler AG and its contractual partners from negative legal consequences arising from non-compliance. The availability of mobile connectivity in individual countries depends on the exis- tence of corresponding mobile service agree- ments with local mobile network providers. Managing apps 135

age and replace any damaged tyres imme- diately. G WARNING Insufficient tyre tread will reduce tyre traction. The tyre is no longer able to dis- sipate water. This means that on wet road surfaces, the risk of aquaplaning increa- ses, in particular where speed is not adap- ted to suit the driving conditions. There is a risk of accident. If the tyre pressure is too high or too low, tyres may exhibit different levels of wear at different locations on the tyre tread. Thus, you should regularly check the tread depth and the condition of the tread across the entire width of all tyres. Minimum tyre tread depth for: Rsummer tyres: 3 mm RM+S tyres: 4 mm For safety reasons, replace the tyres before the legally prescribed limit for the mini- mum tyre tread depth is reached. ! If unavoidable, you should drive over obstacles such as kerbs slowly and not at a sharp angle. Otherwise, you may damage the wheels or tyres. Modification work on the brake system and wheels is not permitted. The use of spacers or brake dust shields is not permitted. This invalidates the general operating permit for the vehicle. Check the wheels and tyres for damage at least once a month, as well as after driving off-road or on poorly surfaced roads. Run-in new tyres at moderate speeds for the first 100 km. The tyres only attain their max- imum performance after this distance. Vibrations, audible noises and unusual han- dling characteristics, e.g. pulling to one side, can indicate damage to wheels or tyres. If you suspect a tyre defect: X Reduce vehicle speed. X Stop the vehicle as soon as possible. X Check the wheels and tyres for damage. If you find no signs of damage, have the wheels and tyres checked at a specialist workshop. Changing a wheel Please note G WARNING Interchanging the front and rear wheels may severely impair the driving charac- teristics if the wheels or tyres have differ- ent dimensions. The wheel brakes or sus- pension components may also be damaged. There is a risk of accident. Interchange front and rear wheels only if the wheels and tyres are of the same dimensions. G WARNING Exceeding the stated tyre load-bearing capacity and the approved maximum speed could lead to tyre damage or the tyre bursting. There is a risk of accident. Therefore, only use tyre types and sizes approved for your vehicle model. Observe the tyre load rating and speed rating required for your vehicle. G WARNING If wheels and tyres of the wrong size are used, the wheel brakes or suspension com- ponents may be damaged. There is a risk of an accident.

correct: Rdesignation Rmanufacturer Rtype ! On vehicles fitted with a tyre pressure monitor, electronic components are loca- ted in the wheel. Tyre-fitting tools should not be applied in the area of the valve, since this could dam- age the electronic components. Only have tyres changed at a qualified specialist workshop. ! Position a suitable jack only on the jack- ing points intended for this purpose. Raise the vehicle for a short time only to change the wheel. Make sure the vehicle is on a suitable surface and that no-one is in the vehicle. Secure the vehicle using chocks and apply the parking brake. Interchanging front and rear wheels or tires of differing dimensions can render the gen- eral operating permit invalid. Rules for selecting new tyres ! For safety reasons, smart recommends that you only use tyres and wheels which have been specifically approved by smart for your vehicle. These are specially adap- ted to the control systems, such as ABS or ESP®. Only use tyres and wheels specifically tested and approved by smart. Certain characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle noise emissions or fuel consumption, may otherwise be adversely affected. In addi- tion, when driving with a load, dimen- sional variations and different tyre defor- mation characteristics could cause the tyres to make contact with the bodywork and axle components. This could result in damage to the tyres or the vehicle. smart accepts no liability for damage resulting from the use of tyres or wheels other than those tested and approved. Information on wheels and tyres can be obtained at a qualified specialist work- shop, e.g. a smart centre. The service life of tyres depends on various factors, including the following: RDriving style RTyre pressure RMileage Observe the following rules for selecting new tyres: RObserve country-specific regulations which stipulate or recommend a certain tyre type for the vehicle. ROnly fit tyres and wheels of the same type and make. ROnly tyres of the same size may be used on a single axle (left/right). ROnly use tyres of the same type (summer tyres, all-season tyres, winter tyres). RUse only wheel-tyre combinations approved by smart. RDo not wear tyres out too much. This oth- erwise significantly reduces the traction on wet roads (aquaplaning). RReplace tyres after six years at the latest. i Recommended tyre pressures for various operating states can be found on the tyre pressure table on the driver's side door pillar (B-pillar). You can find further information regarding tyres and wheels at specialist tyre retailers, at qualified specialist workshops and at any smart centre. Preparing to change a wheel The vehicle tool tray is located under the glove compartment. X Stop the vehicle on solid, non-slippery and level ground. X Apply the parking brake. X Position the front wheels to point straight ahead. X Vehicles with a manual transmission: depress the clutch pedal and shift to either first or reverse gear.

Using the tyre pressure monitor Useful information It is the driver's responsibility to set the tyre pressure to the recommended cold tyre pres- sure suitable for the operating situation. The tyre pressure monitor issues a warning when the pressure drops in one or more of the tyres. The tyre pressure monitor works properly only if sensors are present in all four tyres, and after the monitor has learned the correct tyre pressure for the current operating sit- uation. This occurs automatically in most situations, but may also be specified after restarting the tyre pressure monitor. Before restarting, check the tyres for the recom- mended tyre pressure. The tyre pressure monitor does not provide a warning in the following cases: REven loss of pressure on multiple tyres RSudden loss of tyre pressure, e.g. due to penetration by a foreign body RIncorrectly set tyre pressure The tyre pressure monitor has a yellow warning lamp in the instrument cluster for indicating a pressure loss or malfunction.

Please note G WARNING Underinflated or overinflated tyres pose the following risks: Rthe tyres may burst, especially as the load and vehicle speed increase. Rthe tyres may wear excessively and/or unevenly, which may greatly impair tyre traction. Rthe driving characteristics, as well as steering and braking, may be greatly impaired. There is a risk of an accident. Observe the recommended tyre pressure and check the tyre pressure of all the tyres: Rat least every two weeks Rwhen the load changes Rbefore embarking on a longer journey Rfor changed operating conditions, e.g. off-road driving If necessary, correct the tyre pressure. G WARNING If you mount unsuitable accessories onto tyre valves, the tyre valves may be over- loaded and malfunction, which can cause tyre pressure loss. Aftermarket tyre pres- sure monitoring systems will cause the tyre valve to remain open. This can also result in tyre pressure loss. There is a risk of an accident. Only screw standard valve caps or valve caps specifically approved by smart for your vehicle onto the tyre valve. G WARNING If the tyre pressure drops repeatedly, the wheel, valve or tyre may be damaged. Tyre pressure that is too low may result in a tyre blow-out. There is a risk of accident. RCheck the tyre for foreign objects. RCheck whether the wheel is losing air or the valve is leaking. If you are unable to rectify the damage, contact a qualified specialist workshop. H Environmental note Check the tyre pressure regularly, at least every 14 days. The table with the recommended tyre pres- sure for various operating conditions can be found on the driver's side door pillar (B-pillar). The tyre pressure table may also state air pressures for different load conditions. These are defined in the table as different numbers of passengers and amounts of lug- gage. The actual number of seats may differ from this. If a tyre size precedes a tyre pressure, the tyre pressure information following is only valid for that tyre size. If tyre sizes are not specified, the tyre pressures stated on the tyre pressure table apply for all approved tyres. Checking and correcting the tyre pres- sure manually Only check the tyre pressure once the tyres have cooled down. X Drive the vehicle less than 2 km. X Park the vehicle away from direct sunlight for at least three hours. X Check the tyre pressure with a suitable tyre pressure gauge. 156 Checking the tyre pressures

X Restart tyre pressure monitor. Using winter tyres G WARNING M+S tyres with a tyre tread depth of less than 4 mm are not suitable for use in winter as they do not provide sufficient traction. There is a risk of accident. M+S tyres with a tread depth of less than 4 mm must be replaced. At temperatures below +7 †, summer tyres lose elasticity and therefore traction and braking power. Change the tyres on your vehicle therefore to winter tyres or all-sea- son tyres marked with M+S. Using summer tyres at very cold temperatures could cause tears to form, thereby damaging the tyres permanently. smart cannot accept responsi- bility for this type of damage. Have the vehicle winterproofed at a qualified specialist workshop at the onset of winter. X At low temperatures, use only winter tyres marked with M+S. X When road conditions are wintry, use M+S tyres with the additional i snow- flake symbol. These tyres allow driving safety systems, e.g. ABS, to function optimally in the win- ter. X Use M+S tyres of the same make and tread on all wheels. X When driving with M+S tyres, observe the specified maximum permissible speed. X Use only tyre types and sizes approved for smart. X When using tyres with a specified direc- tion of rotation, observe the arrow on the sidewall indicating the tyre's direction of rotation. After fitting M+S tyres: X Check tyre pressure. X Restart tyre pressure monitor. X If M+S tyres with a lower maximum per- missible speed than that of the vehicle are fitted, affix an appropriate warning label in the driver's field of vision. Using the limiter, restrict the speed to the maximum permissible speed for M+S tyres. Using snow chains G WARNING If you have fitted snow chains to the front wheels, they may scrape against the vehi- cle body or chassis components. This could cause damage to the vehicle or the tyres. There is a risk of an accident. To avoid hazardous situations: Rnever fit snow chains on the front wheels Rfit snow chains to the rear wheels in pairs. ! Vehicles with steel wheels: if you fit snow chains on steel wheels, you may damage the hub caps. Remove the hub caps from the relevant wheels before fitting the snow chains. For safety reasons, smart recommends that you only use snow chains that have been specially approved for your vehicle by smart.

Sealing tyres using the TIREFIT kit¶
Forfour_454_Owner_Manual_217p.pdf · p. 183 · Applies to: 454
Useful information The tyre sealant is pumped into the tyre. TIREFIT is a tyre sealant. TIREFIT is used to seal punctures of up to 4 mm, particularly those in the tyre tread, at outside tempera- tures of up to -20 †. Please note G WARNING In the following situations, the tyre seal- ant is unable to provide sufficient break- down assistance, as it is unable to seal the tyre properly: Rthere are cuts or punctures in the tyre larger than those mentioned above. Rthe wheel rim is damaged. Ryou have driven at very low tyre pres- sures or on a flat tyre. There is a risk of an accident. Do not drive any further. Contact a quali- fied specialist workshop. G WARNING The tyre sealant is harmful and causes irritation. It must not come into contact with your skin, eyes or clothing or be swal- lowed. Do not inhale TIREFIT fumes. Keep tyre sealant away from children. There is a risk of injury. If you come into contact with the tyre seal- ant, observe the following: RRinse off the tyre sealant from your skin immediately with water. RIf the tyre sealant comes into contact with your eyes, immediately rinse them thoroughly with clean water. RIf tyre sealant is swallowed, immedi- ately rinse your mouth out thoroughly and drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting, and seek medical attention immediately. RImmediately change out of clothing which has come into contact with tyre sealant. RIf an allergic reaction occurs, seek med- ical attention immediately. G WARNING A tyre temporarily sealed with tyre 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 tyre that has been repaired using tyre sealant. The maximum permissible speed for a tyre sealed with tyre sealant is 80 km/h. ! After use, excess tyre sealant may run out of the filler hose. This could cause stains. Therefore, place the filler hose in the plas- tic bag that contained the TIREFIT kit. H Environmental note Have the used tyre sealant bottle disposed of professionally, e.g. at a qualified spe- cialist workshop. Comply with the manufacturer's safety instructions on the sticker on the tyre infla- tion compressor. Filling with tyre sealant X Leave foreign bodies which have penetra- ted the tyre in the tyre.

G WARNING If you operate two-way radios incorrectly in the vehicle, their electromagnetic radi- ation can interfere with the vehicle elec- tronics, for example if: Rthe two-way radio is not connected to an exterior aerial Rthe exterior aerial is not correctly moun- ted or is not low-reflection This could jeopardise the operating safety of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident. Have the low-reflection exterior aerial fit- ted at a qualified specialist workshop. When operating two-way radios in the vehicle, always connect them to the low- reflection exterior aerial. ! Only have work carried out on the engine electronics and its associated parts, such as control units, sensors, actuating com- ponents and connector leads, at a qualified specialist workshop. Vehicle components may otherwise wear more quickly and the vehicle's operating permit may be invali- dated. ! The operating permit may be invalidated if the instructions for installation and use of two-way radios are not observed. In particular, the following conditions must be complied with: Ronly approved wavebands may be used Robserve the maximum permissible out- put in these wavebands Ronly approved aerial positions may be used Excessive levels of electromagnetic radia- tion can cause damage to health. The use of an exterior aerial takes into consideration the scientific discussion surrounding the possible health risk posed by electromag- netic fields.
