Retrofitting electrical and electronic
devices
Electrical and electronic devices can
endanger vehicle operating safety.
!
Damage or consequential damage due to
retrofitting a device in the vehicle is
not covered by smart’s warranty.
If you install telephones or radio trans-
mitters in the vehicle you must have such
retrofits approved. smart approves the
installation of telephones and radio devi-
ces if the work is done professionally and
the device is connected to a low-reflection
exterior antenna.
The transmitting power of the telephone or
radio must not exceed the following maxi-
mum values.
Frequency range
(band)
Maximum transmit-
ting power (Watts)
Short wave
(<50 MHz)
100
2 m wavelength 50
0.7 m wavelength 35
0.25 m wavelength 10

WARNING
Radio transmitters can interfere with the
vehicle’s electronic system, endanger the
operating safety of the vehicle and thus
your own safety, if
R
there is no external antenna
R
the external antenna is not low-reflec-
tion
R
the external antenna is incorrectly
installed
Excessive electromagnetic radiation can
damage your health and that of others.
Using an external antenna addresses and
considers the concerns currently being
discussed in scientific circles about the
health hazards possibly posed by electro-
magnetic fields.
Because of this, have the external antenna
installed exclusively at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required, e.g. at a smart center. In
particular, work relevant to safety or on
safety-related systems must be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
On-board Diagnostics Socket (OBD)
The on-board diagnostics socket is located
inside the vehicle on the right side of the
