partner which is qualified for smart elec-
tric drive.
Particular care should be taken involving
all areas which are in the vicinity of high
voltage parts, e.g. parts in the engine com-
partment. Orange-colored cables and their
respective sockets carry high voltage and
must not be damaged.
Serious injury or death can result if you:
remove the covers of components which
R
are labeled with a warning sticker.
handle components of the high-voltage
R
vehicle electrical system.
open the housing.
R
disconnect plug connectors.
R
come into contact with components or
R
orange-colored cables of the high-volt-
age vehicle electrical system following
an accident.
come into contact with orange-colored
R
cables or their damaged plug connectors.
come into contact with damaged compo-
R
nents of the high-voltage vehicle elec-
trical system.
Have the damaged orange-colored cables or
their damaged plug connectors replaced
immediately at an authorized electric
drive smart center. The service partner
must have the required knowledge and tools
to carry out the necessary work. For safety
reasons, smart recommends using a smart
center which is qualified for smart elec-
tric drive. Particularly for safety-rele-
vant work and work on safety-relevant vehi-
cle systems, servicing by an authorized
electric drive smart center is essential.
Do not remove the high-voltage battery of
the high-voltage vehicle electrical sys-
tem. Have the required work carried out by
an authorized electric drive smart center.
smart recommends that you use an author-
ized electric drive smart center.
G WARNING
The high‑voltage battery of the drive sys-
tem is located under the vehicle's under-
body. When the pressure inside the
high‑voltage battery exceeds a certain
value, for example in case of a vehicle fire,
inflammable gas will escape via a duct. The
inflammable gas escapes to an area under
the vehicle. This prevents the high‑voltage
battery from exploding.
Stay away from this area of the vehicle.
When you carry out common works like
replacing bulbs or checking coolant level,
make sure that
the ignition is switched off
R
the charging cable for the high-voltage
R
battery is disconnected.
Automatic switch-off of the high-volt-
age system
The high-voltage system will be automati-
cally switched off, in the event:
of an accident in which the restraint
R
systems are triggered
of a short circuit in the high-voltage
R
system is detected
that an electric connection in the high-
R
voltage system has been disconnected
This helps to avoid that you get in contact
with high-voltage.
