  • Start Stop automatic in smart a security risk?

    Hello guys, if you don’t mind that the so-called Start Stop automatic in the smart is also partly responsible for the fact that the standard built-in scrap battery gives up the mind early, it is in my opinion a serious safety risk. The situation: I drive at a green traffic light into a junction and want to turn left. Since oncoming traffic is I stop in the middle of the intersection, car goes off. Now there is a gap in the oncoming traffic and I go down from the brake. with the Smart does not start like with other vehicles in the second where I walk off the gas, but only with considerable delay. Apparently, a starter is installed here, which has not yet been designed for a start stop automatic. Almost there would have been a collision.

  • Digital speedometer and display in color display missing

    Hello, I have already seen pictures where the display of digital tachometer is displayed in the color display. It is also described in the instructions: Display of digital tachometer The display shows the digital tachometer. The digital tachometer in the header is hidden. Only for England: Digital tachometer in the header is displayed further. My model year 2017 unfortunately does not show this point. Do you have the display of the speed in the display?

  • JBL sound system

    So … it’s already OK and the following is also “a bit of whining at a high level” … – the system sounds a bit rough and the frquency band is a bit crowded. – a space is missing. It shouldn’t be on the loudspeakers, but on a missing or incorrectly designed DSP digital sound processor. The things cost something and here SMART seems to have “something bad” saved. Who asks at my small sound artist-operation, if they do not „inconspicuously” a small fine DSP can loop in ? … and what do they mean to the sound image. … But as I said … some whining at a high level … Does anyone know what to do ? What do you mean ?

  • Smart 453 battery defective after just under 3 years

    1 year ago I bought a Smart 453 EZ 12/15 with just under 19,000km and a young smart warranty. Today with 24,000km battery is defective. I always switch off start-stop automatic, so it is never used. Is it normal that the battery is defective after just over 3 years? With the Smart, 12km is driven to work 5 times a week and back. I still have a young smart guarantee. Can I hope for culanz? Or should I just get a new battery

  • Does the new ForFour really consume so much?!

    Moin moin, because my current smartie (42, petrol, BJ 2004) unfortunately unstoppably counters the engine death (has 90tsd KM down), should be a new one no later than next spring. I actually liked the new ForFour with automatic transmission, consumption should be combined according to Smart at 5.0 liters. Sure, in reality it is above, but by how much? In the net I came across test reports, which partly report on a consumption of ELF liters, that would be d I drive 90% of the city and now have a consumption of 6.5 – 7 liters with the old ForTwo Coupe, which I already feel is quite high. Does someone drive the new ForFour and can say what to the consumption? Thank you very much!

  • Amount of vehicle tax on registration from September 2018

    What about the car tax when a smart is newly registered from September 2018? Does someone happen to have information about whether it remains unchanged or rises to xx€? Does the smart meet the Euro 6c, Euro 6d-Temp standard according to WLTP?

  • Smart warranty package with used Smart

    Hello everyone, I bought on 24.02 a used smart from a dealer who is about 1.5 St from my place of residence. When I signed the contract, I asked if I could go for repairs within the warranty to any branch in my place of residence and he had confirmed that. Now I noticed some lack (the switch for the outer mirror does not work and the switch for the volume when turning up decreases by a few “points” the volume st he said that the guarantee would not cover it and that I should go to it because it could only be made out of culant. Is that right? WTF covers the guarantee? Of course, the link on the official website, if you want to look at the conditions, will take you to a beautiful error 404. Thanks in advance! If you want to get a look at the conditions, you can get a look at them.

  • Smart 453 Canada version -does not start sporaij-

    Now I have the following problem: I drive a Smart 453 from 2016, which used to be a Canadian Car2Go, i.e. a car rental within the scope of CarSharing. From time to time, especially in the morning, if I want to go to work, the car simply doesn’t start. The ignition goes on, but there are many error messages, such as gearboxes, steering etc. The starter doesn’t turn, and there are also The battery is new (Varta Blue Dynamic N60), and it’s also not due to the immobilizer, since the car with the second key does not start the same when the problem occurs. I have already read out the vehicle with Xentry during this situation. The error memory is in the attachment. After about 20-30 minutes the car will suddenly start again as if by ghost hand. Does any of you have any idea what the car is about? Is it possible?

  • Smart 453 – annual inspection – why?

    My little one (90 hp, DKG) is EZ 3/18. In the instrument cluster the remaining km are displayed up to the service – currently approx. 13000 km. Don’t you have to go to the KD every year? In the completely confounded and confusing operating instructions I found nothing to do with it. I just got a good 7000 km on the clock … [Transferred from motor talk from the topic ‘service intervals’.]
