Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)*
Problem
Possible causes/consequences and M
M Solutions
h The yellow com-
bination low
tire pressure/
TPMS malfunc-
tion telltale
illuminates
continuously.
The TPMS detects a loss of pressure in at least one tire.
X
Carefully bring the vehicle to a halt, avoiding abrupt steer-
ing and braking maneuvers. Observe the traffic situation
around you.
X
Check and correct tire inflation pressure as required
(
Y
page 129).
If the tire inflation pressure in the respective tire(s) has
(have) been corrected, the combination low tire pressure/TPMS
malfunction telltale goes out after a few minutes of driving.
See also “Restarting the TPMS” (
Y
page 132).
h The combina-
tion low tire
pressure/TPMS
malfunction
telltale flashes
60 seconds and
then stays illu-
minated.
There is a malfunction in the TPMS.
X
Have the TPMS checked at an authorized electric drive smart
center.
After the malfunction has been remedied the combination low
tire pressure/TPMS malfunction telltale goes out after a few
minutes of driving.
G
WARNING
Each tire should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure rec-
ommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the Tire and Loading Information placard. If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the Tire and Loading Infor-
mation placard, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly underinflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Underinflation also increases energy consumption, reduces tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if underinflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low
tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately 1 minute and then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction
exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of incom-
patible replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

Replacing bulbs
About replacing bulbs
Safe vehicle operation depends on proper
exterior lighting and signaling. It is
therefore essential that all bulbs and lamp
assemblies are in good working order at all
times.
Correct headlamp adjustment is extremely
important. Have headlamps checked and
readjusted at regular intervals and when a
bulb has been replaced. Contact an author-
ized electric drive smart center for head-
lamp adjustment.
G
WARNING
Bulbs and bulb sockets can be very hot.
Allow the lamp to cool down before changing
a bulb. Otherwise you could be burned if you
touch them.
Keep bulbs out of the reach of children.
Halogen lamps contain pressurized gas. A
bulb can explode if you:
R
touch or move it when hot
R
drop the bulb
R
scratch the bulb
Wear eye and hand protection.
i
If the headlamps or front fog lamps* are
fogged up on the inside as a result of
high humidity, driving the vehicle a
distance with the lights on should clear
up the fogging.
Notes on bulb replacement:
R
Only use bulbs of the same type and with
the specified watt rating.
R
Switch the lights off before replacing a
bulb to prevent short circuits.
R
Always use a clean lint-free cloth when
handling bulbs.
R
Your hands should be dry and free of oil
and grease.
R
Avoid touching the glass of the bulb with
bare fingers.
R
If the newly installed bulb does not come
on, contact an authorized electric drive
smart center.
R
Have the bulbs for the front fog lamps*
and the LED daytime running lamps*
replaced at an authorized electric drive
smart center.

Using the tire repair kit
!
Depending on the type of damage on the
tire, the tire sealant could damage the
sensor of the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)*. Such damage is not cov-
ered by the smart Limited Warranty.
When having the damaged tire replaced,
also have the TPMS sensors* checked for
proper function. When the sensor is dam-
aged, the TPMS* will not function prop-
erly. The sensor must then be replaced at
an authorized electric drive smart cen-
ter as soon as possible.
i
Depending on production date of your
vehicle, it will be equipped with version
1 or version 2 of the tire repair kit.
Please make sure to refer to the descrip-

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tion of the tire repair kit in your vehicle
before sealing a tire.
The tire repair kit can be used to seal
punctures of up to approximately 0.16 in
(4 mm) on the tire tread.
The tire repair kit enables you to drive on
the sealed tire to the nearest authorized
electric drive smart center.
X
You should have the sealed tire replaced
at an authorized electric drive smart
center.
G
WARNING
Take care not to allow the contents of the
tire sealant to come in contact with hair,
eyes or clothing. The tire sealant is harm-
ful if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed
through the skin - causes skin, eye and res-
piratory irritation. Wear gloves while
using this product if they are available.
Any contact with eyes or skin should be
flushed immediately with plenty of water.
If clothing comes in contact with the tire
sealant, change clothing as soon as possi-
ble.
In case of allergic reaction or rash, consult
a physician immediately.
Notes
R
Small tire punctures, particularly those
in the tread, can be sealed with the tire
sealant.
R
The tire sealant can be used in ambient
temperatures from ‑4¦ (‑20¥) to 104¦
(+40¥).
R
Do not remove any foreign objects such as
nails or screws that have penetrated the
tire.
R
Do not use the tire sealant if the tire has
been damaged by being driven when
insufficiently inflated (e.g. bumps,
cuts, cracks etc. on the tire).
R
Allow escaped tire sealant to dry, then
peel it off.
R
Immediately wash all painted surfaces
that came into contact with the tire seal-
ant using a damp cloth.
R
Avoid skin and eye contact with the tire
sealant.
R
Do not swallow the tire sealant.
R
Allow the tire sealant that is inside the
damaged tire to dry and dispose of
together with the tire.
R
Do not use the tire sealant after the expi-
ration date has elapsed (see top of con-
tainer).
Instead, have it replaced at an author-
ized electric drive smart center.
G
WARNING
The tire sealant is a limited repair device.
The tire sealant cannot be used for cuts or
punctures larger than approximately
0.16 in (4 mm) and tire damage caused by
driving with extremely low tire inflation
pressure, or on a flat tire, or a damaged
wheel.
Do not drive the vehicle under such cir-
cumstances.
If you are unsure of the condition of the tire
or have any question whatsoever about its
suitability for driving contact the nearest
authorized electric drive smart center for
assistance or call Roadside Assistance.
G
WARNING
Please review the instructions below for
using the tire repair kit. If you are not
confident that you can competently follow
the instructions for using this kit, do not
use the kit, but instead call for Roadside
Assistance.
G
WARNING
Keep the tire sealant out of reach of chil-
dren. If swallowed, rinse mouth immedi-
ately with plenty of water and drink plenty
of water.
Do not induce vomiting!
Consult a physician immediately.
