effect. Maintain a safe distance from

vehicles in front.

To help prevent brake disc corrosion after

driving on wet road surfaces (particularly

salted roads), it is advisable to brake the

vehicle with considerable force prior to

parking. The heat generated serves to dry

the brakes.

WARNING

Make sure not to endanger any other road

users when carrying out these braking

maneuvers.

Limited braking effect on salted roads

Remember that the effect of the brakes can

be limited on salted road surfaces. Alayer

of salt can form on brake discs and brake

pads, considerably reducing the friction

between the brake disc and the brake pad.

The effect is most noticeable after long

trips without braking, e.g. on the highway,

and after the vehicle has been parked for

several hours.

WARNING

The accumulation of salt on brake discs and

brake pads reduces braking effectiveness

and increases the distance necessary to

come to a complete standstill. This could

potentially cause an accident and/or

personal injury.

To avoid this risk, you should

brake carefully every now and then on

salted roads in order to remove any layer

of salt on the brake disc and brake pad,

but do so without endangering any other

road users

keep a good safe distance from the

vehicle in front and drive carefully

press the brake carefully at the end of the

trip and again when beginning the next

trip in order to remove any salt residues

from the brake disc

New brake pads

Only install brake pads recommended by

smart.

WARNING

If other than recommended brake pads are

installed, or other than recommended brake

fluid is used, the braking properties of the

vehicle can be degraded to an extent that

safe braking is substantially impaired.

This could result in an accident.

WARNING

New brake pads will not achieve their

optimal braking effect until after several

hundred miles (kilometers). This means

that you must compensate for the reduced

braking effect by pressing harder on the

brake pedal and adapt your driving style

accordingly. The same applies after brake

pads or brake discs have been changed.

Drive sensibly - save fuel

Fuel consumption, to a great extent,

depends on driving habits and operating

conditions.

To save fuel you should:

Shift gears in a timely manner.

Avoid frequent acceleration and

deceleration.

Keep tires at the recommended inflation

pressures.

Remove carriers* when not in use.

Remove unnecessary loads.

Allow engine to warm up under low load

use.

Have all maintenance work performed at

the intervals specified in the

Maintenance Booklet and as required by

the Maintenance System. Contact an

authorized smart center.

Fuel consumption is also increased by

driving in cold weather, in stop-and-go

traffic, on short trips, and in hilly areas.
