Rims and tires
Notes
!
Only use tires which have been tested
and approved by smart. Tires approved by
smart are developed to provide best pos-
sible performance in conjunction with
the driving safety systems on your vehi-
cle such as the ABS or the ESP
®
.
Using tires other than those approved by
smart may result in damage that is not
covered by the smart Limited Warranty.
!
Using tires other than those approved
by smart can have detrimental effects,
such as
R
poor handling characteristics
R
increased noise
R
increased energy consumption
Moreover, tires and rims not approved by
smart may, under load, exhibit dimen-
sional variations and different tire
deformation characteristics that could
cause them to come into contact with the
vehicle body or axle parts. Damage to the
tires or the vehicle may be the result.

Further information on tires and rims
is available at any authorized electric
drive smart center. A placard with the
recommended tire inflation pressure is
located on the driver’s door B‑pillar.
The tire inflation pressure should be
checked regularly and should only be
adjusted on cold tires. Follow tire man-
ufacturer’s maintenance recommenda-
tion included with vehicle.
