Product information
We recommend using Genuine smart Parts as
well as conversion parts and accessories
explicitly approved by smart for your
vehicle model.
We have tested these parts to determine
their reliability, safety and special
suitability for smart vehicles.
We are unable to make an assessment for
other products and therefore cannot be
held responsible for them, even if in
individual cases an official approval or
authorization by governmental or other
agencies should exist. Use of such parts
and accessories could adversely affect the
safety, performance or reliability of your
vehicle. We strongly recommend that you
not use them.
Genuine smart Parts as well as conversion
parts and accessories approved by us are
available at your authorized smart center
where you will receive comprehensive
information about use and installation of
appropriate parts.

Your vehicle may have some or all of the
