SMART For two coupe - Exterior Lighting

The illumination for both gauges comes on
when you switch on the ignition and the
exterior lighting.
Charge level gauge
!
Do not hang any objects on the charge
level gauge.
This could cause the charge level gauge
to be torn from its mountings and be dam-
aged.
The charge level gauge : displays charge
status of the high-voltage battery as a per-
centage.
When the High-voltage Battery atHigh-voltage Battery at
Reserve LevelReserve Level message appears in the
multifunction display while the drive sys-
tem is in operation, the high-voltage bat-
tery has reached the reserve level.
i If the charge level of the high-voltage
battery has dropped below 20 %, recharge
it at:
R
an AC power socket (Y page 114)
R
a private wall box (Y page 115)
R
a public charging station
(Y page 117)

WARNING
The operating condition of the high-volt-
age battery (e.g. not yet at normal operat-
ing temperature or fully charged) influen-
ces the braking effect of the electric
motor.
In overrun or braking mode, the motor's
braking effect may therefore be reduced or
may not be present at all.
As a result of the reduced engine braking
effect, you may cause an accident and
injure yourself or others.
Compensate for the reduced engine braking
effect by pressing the brake pedal accord-
ingly, as required.
!
Do not hang any objects on the power
gauge.
This could cause the power gauge to be
torn from its mountings and be damaged.
Power gauge ; contains two segments:
R
Section right of 0
Power gauge ; indicates the current
power that the drive system delivers to
the rear wheels. 100 % correspond to
55 kW peak power.
R
Section left of 0
When you release the accelerator pedal
or when you depress the brake pedal, the
electric motor operates as a generator.
Electric current is produced and stored
in the high-voltage battery. As long as
the high-voltage battery is being
charged, the electric motor simulates an
engine brake.
When the pointer of power gauge ; is in
the "OFF“ position, the vehicle is not ready
to drive, because:
R
the drive system has not been started
R
the gear selector lever has not been
moved to position N or P when starting
the drive system
R
the charging cable is connected to the
vehicle
R
there is not enough power from the high-
voltage battery
R
a problem occured in the high-voltage
system
After the drive system has been started, the
pointer of power gauge ; moves to posi-
tion 0. READYREADY appears in the multifunction
display (Y page 87). The vehicle is ready
to drive.
