Introduction of smart fortwo electric drive (3rd Generation) • Model Series 451
Dear Reader,
This Introduction into Service Manual presents the
3rd generation of the smart fortwo electric drive of
model series 451.
The purpose of this brochure is to acquaint you with
the technical highlights of this new vehicle in
advance of its market launch. This brochure is
intended to provide information for people
employed in service or maintenance/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 Intro-
duction into Service Manual is on presenting new and
modified components 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 in the Diagnosis Assistance System
(DAS).
The content in WIS is updated. Therefore, the infor-
mation available there reflects the latest technical
status of our vehicles.
This Introduction into Service Manual presents
initial information relating to the 3rd generation of
the smart fortwo electric drive in model series 451
and, as such, is not stored in WIS. The contents are
not maintained and there is no provision for
updates.
We will publicize modifications and new features in
the relevant WIS documents. The information
presented in this Introduction into Service Manual
may therefore differ from the more up-to-date
information found in WIS.
All information relating to technical data, equipment
and options is valid as of the copy deadline in
February 2012 and may therefore differ from the
current production configuration.
