Preface - SMART 453 Series Introduction Into Service Manual

Dear Reader,
This Introduction into Service Manual presents the new
smart fortwo coupé and new smart forfour of model series
453.
The purpose of this manual is to inform you of the technical
highlights featured in this new vehicle in advance of its mar-
ket launch. This brochure is intended to provide information
for people employed in service, maintenance and repair as
well as for aftersales staff. It is assumed that the reader is
already familiar with the Mercedes-Benz and smart model
series currently on the market.
In terms of the contents, the emphasis in this Introduction
into Service Manual is on presenting new and modified com-
ponents and systems.
This Introduction into Service Manual is not intended as an
aid for repairs or for the diagnosis of technical problems. For
such needs, more extensive information is available in the
Workshop Information System (WIS) and Xentry Diagnostics.
