>>Let the fun begin!

Congratulations on choosing the smart fortwo coupé or smart fortwo cabrio. We’re pleased about your decision. No doubt you are also full of anticipation and want to finally start driving your car.

We’ll show you what it’s all about, give you a few important pieces of advice and some tips.

Please study these operating instructions thoroughly to ensure that you have more enjoyment with your smart and can recognise and avoid any potential dangers to yourself or others.

The Operating Instructions, Quick Guide, Service Booklet and list of smart centers constitute part of the car itself. You should always keep these documents in the car and make sure that you pass them on to the next owner if and when you come to sell your smart.

Incidentally, smart is among the first automotive manufacturers to offer a soot filter in the compact car segment. The maintenance – free system considerably reduces the hazardous soot particles emitted by the smart cdi engine. This contributes to environmental protection and human health.
