Protecting the environment
General notes
H Environmental note
Daimler’s declared policy is one of integrated environmental protection.
The objectives are for the natural resources which form the basis of our existence on this planet to be used sparingly and in a manner that takes the requirements of both nature and humanity into account.
You too can help to protect the environment by operating your vehicle in an environmentally responsible manner.
Fuel consumption and the rate of engine, transmission, brake, and tyre wear depend on the following factors:
- Operating conditions of your vehicle
- Your personal driving style
- You can influence both factors.
You should bear the following in mind:
Operating conditions
- Avoid short trips as these increase fuel consumption.
- Make sure that the tyre pressures are always correct.
- Do not carry any unnecessary weight.
- Keep an eye on the vehicle’s fuel con- assumption.
- Remove rear racks once you no longer need them.
- Ra regularly serviced vehicles will contribute to environmental protection. You should therefore adhere to the service intervals.
- Railways have maintenance work carried out at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart Centre.
Personal driving style - Do not depress the accelerator pedal
when starting the engine. - Do not warm up the engine with the vehicle stationary.
- Drive carefully and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. Avoid frequent, sudden acceleration. Change gear in good time, if possible in accordance with the gearshift recommendations in the multifunction display.
- Rshift up to the next gear as early as possible.
Switch off the engine in stationary traffic.
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:
- doors
- Rdoor pillars
- Rdoor sills
- Rseats
- Dashboard
- Rinstrument cluster
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, tires, wheels or safety-relevant equipment not approved by smart could jeopardize the operational safety of the vehicle. Safety-relevant systems, such as the brake system, may malfunction.
smart tests genuine parts and conversion parts and accessories that have been specifically 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 officially approved or independently approved by a testing center.
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 genuine smart parts meet the approval requirements. The use of non-approved parts may invalidate the vehicle’s general operating permit.
The following situations will invalidate the operating permit:
- The vehicle type changes from that stated in the vehicle’s operating permit, due to modifications.
- ROther road users are likely to be endangered.
REmissions or noise characteristics deteriorate.
