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:
the vehicle was not purchased at an
R
authorised specialist dealer
the vehicle has not yet been examined at a
R
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.
High-voltage electrical system
Danger of electric shock
G
DANGER
The vehicle's high voltage electrical sys-
tem is under high voltage. If you modify
components in the vehicle's high-voltage
electrical system or touch damaged com-
ponents, you may be electrocuted. The
components in the vehicle's high-voltage
electrical system may be damaged in an
accident, although the damage is not visi-
ble. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Do not touch any high-voltage components
after an accident and never modify the
vehicle's high-voltage electrical system.
Have the vehicle towed away after an acci-
dent and the vehicle's high-voltage elec-
trical system checked by a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
All of the vehicle's high-voltage electrical
system components are marked with yellow
warning stickers which warn you of the dan-
gers of high voltages. The cables of the vehi-
cle's high-voltage electrical system are
orange in colour.
Observe the following before carrying out
general work such as changing a bulb or
checking the coolant level:
the ignition is switched off
R
the charging cable for charging the high-
R
voltage battery is disconnected
Automatically switching off the vehicle's
high-voltage electrical system
In order to prevent anyone coming into con-
tact with high voltage, the high-voltage
electrical system is generally switched off
automatically in the following cases:
the restraint systems are activated in the
R
event of an accident
an electrical short circuit is detected in the
R
vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
an electrical connection in the vehicle's
R
high-voltage electrical system is discon-
nected
High-voltage battery

WARNING
In the event of a vehicle fire, the internal
pressure of the high-voltage battery could
exceed a critical value. In this case, flam-
mable gas escapes through a vent valve in
