Have brake pads/linings installed and brake
fluid replaced at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
If the brake system has only been subject to
moderate loads, you should test the func-
tionality of your brakes at regular intervals.
When having brake pads/linings installed,
smart recommends that you only use those
which are approved for smart vehicles or are
of an equivalent quality standard. Brake
pads/linings which have not been approved
for smart vehicles or which are not of an
equivalent quality could affect your vehi-
cle's operating safety.
