Service and Warranty

These warranty provisions shall begin on
the date the vehicle is delivered to the
first retail purchaser or, if the vehicle is
first placed in service as a retail demon-
strator or DVIUSA, MBUSI or MBRDNA com-
pany vehicle prior to sale at retail, on the
date the vehicle is first placed in such ser-
vice.
The emission control system of your new
smart vehicle was designed, built and
tested using Genuine smart parts and the
vehicle is certified as being in conformity
with Federal, Arizona, California, Connecti-
cut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New
Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Vermont and Washington emission
control regulations and requirements.
Accordingly, it is recommended that any
replacement parts used for maintenance,
repair or replacement of emission related
components be Genuine smart Parts,
including Genuine smart Remanufactured
Parts.
The owner may elect to have maintenance,
replacement or repair of the emission con-
trol devices and systems performed by any
automotive repair establishment or indi-
vidual, and may elect to use other than
Genuine smart Parts, including Genuine
smart Remanufactured Parts for such
maintenance, replacement or repair with-
out invalidating this warranty; the cost of
such service or parts, however, will not be
covered under the warranty except in the
case of an emergency.
Use of replacement parts which are not of
equivalent quality and design may impair
the effectiveness of the emission control
systems. If other than Genuine smart Parts,
including Genuine smart Remanufactured
Parts are being used for maintenance,
replacement or repair of components
affecting emission control, the owner
should obtain assurances that such parts
are warranted by their manufacturer to be
equivalent to Genuine smart parts in per-
formance and durability.
DVIUSA, however, assumes no liability
under this warranty with respect to parts
other than Genuine smart Parts, including
Genuine smart Remanufactured Parts
except for consequential damage to a non-
smart warranted part caused by a failure
of a smart part. However, the use of non-
smart replacement parts does not invali-
date the warranty on other components
unless non-smart parts cause damage to
warranted parts.
