I didn't know that either, and I probably never would since I am the one filling it up. Interesting!

Hello Mike!! I also own a 2009 Smartcar and having the same problem as you. Either trying to get reverse or drive will not register until I play around with the shifter. Planing to call the dealer soon for repairs, car is still under warranty. If I…

My smart came with a secret Book of Knowledge. Now that I've read it I will sell it to anyone for a small amount of gold- It's title is very obscure but seems to translate to something like "smart Owner's Manual". I think that must be some kind of c…

How many of you spent time looking for the button to unlock the gas cap before you realized there wasn't one? :)

I knew about it. My dealership went over it with me when I got my car and it's in the owners manuel.

I-POD help!

I have the upgraded stero system with the 6 CD changer and AUX. jack for a I-POD .


just so you understand..I never even had an i-pod before, and still dont. I need to know what to get? where to get it, what type of jacks i'll need, etc. Then I can worry about how to get songs onto the i-pod from Lime-wire ha-ha.



Keep in mind, your talking to an I-POD moron.



Thanks for any help.

Gas station people telling me the gas door is locked.

I pull into a gas station, tell the man to fill it up, he says "can you unlock the gas door for me"? I reply "it's not locked" then he says "well then it's stuck" I get out to see what the problem is, and it opens with ease. Next fill up same thing happens, "can you unlock your gas door"? "IT DONT LOCK!!" I get out of the car, and again it opens with ease.

Am I the only one who didn't know the gas door is locked as long as the car doors are locked? lol

When I opened my door (unlocking it) to s… Continue

GEAR SHIFTER NOT WORKING PROPERLY?

Does or has anybody else have a problem with the gear shifter not shifting till you play with it?
In park, then I shift to drive (but it acts as if it's in nutral) then I go back to park and try it again. 1 or 2 times of doing that and it's works.

If yes and you know what the problem is, please fill me in.

Thanks
Mike

Break Peddle too close to the Gas peddle?

When I have my foot on the gas peddle, the break peddle is RIGHT up against the left side of my right foot. Maybe I just have fat feet. If anybody else has this problem and knows of a simple mod to fix it, please let me know.
Thank you peoples.

Who Makes it? what do you tell people who ask that question?

I myself like telling people Mercedes makes it (cause it sounds classy, and I have seen Europian Smarts with the Mercedes logo on them). But I've heard Swatch (yes the watch people) make it, or do you just say "Smart" makes it?
WHAT DO YOU TELL PEOPLE?
