R
do not remove the covers of the high-
voltage electrical system components
that are marked with a yellow warning
sticker

do not insert any objects which con-
duct electricity into the charging cable
connector or the charging cable socket

DANGER
The vehicle's high-voltage electrical sys-
tem is under high voltage. If the charging
process is not performed properly, it
could cause a fire or an electric shock.
There is a risk of fatal injury.
Do not perform the charging process in
the following situations:
R
at temperatures of over 50 † and below
-40 †
R
in storms
R
if the charging cable is damaged, rus-
ted or corroded
R
if there is moisture on the charging
cable connector or charging cable
socket, or your hands are wet
R
when cleaning the vehicle
To avoid hazardous situations, always han-
dle the charging cable correctly before and
after using it:
R
before using the charging cable for the
first time, remove the adhesive tape
which holds the cable together
R
unwind the charging cable fully before
every charging process
R
there must be no foreign objects in the
charging cable connector or on the
charging cable socket
R
keep the charging cable out of the reach
of children and animals. Always store the
charging cable in a safe place, e.g. in the
charging cable bag
The high-voltage battery must not be
charged with a damaged charging cable.
Therefore, always make sure that:
R
you do not damage the charging cable,
e.g. by driving over it, pulling too hard or
as a result of heavy impacts
R
the charging cable is not twisted, as oth-
erwise the charging cable may overheat
and the cable covering may be damaged
R
the charging cable is not placed in water,
fluids or snow
The charging cable must always be used in
the correct manner. In order to ensure the
charging cable is handled correctly,
observe the following:
R
do not make any changes or modifica-
tions to the charging cable
R
only use the charging cable to charge the
high-voltage battery
R
do not pull out the charging cable con-
nector or the charging cable socket dur-
ing the charging process
For safety reasons, only use the charging
cable which is supplied with the vehicle or
has been approved by smart for this vehi-
cle.
Useful information
Method of operation
The vehicle is equipped with a high-volt-
age battery for driving. The high-voltage
battery stores the energy needed to operate
the electric motor and releases it again.
The electric motor uses energy stored in the
high-voltage battery for pulling away and
accelerating.
In overrun mode, kinetic energy is conver-
ted into electrical energy by recuperation
and stored in the high-voltage battery.
In addition to recuperation, the high-volt-
age battery can be charged as follows:
R
with the suitable charging cable at a
mains socket while the vehicle is station-
ary
R
with the suitable charging cable at a
wallbox while the vehicle is stationary
R
with the suitable charging cable at a
charging station while the vehicle is sta-
tionary
