Your smart forfour offers you various ways of adapting to your individual driving habits.
You can either manually shift or take advantage of the automated six speed transmission, softouch plus*. With softouch plus, you can select
the gears yourself without having to operate a clutch pedal when set to softip mode. When softouch is selected, the transmission automat!
ically shifts itself. abs and esp, as well as an array of extensive safety systems, are designed with one goal in mind: to protect you and your
passengers.

1 The petrol engines are designed to run on unleaded petrol of at least 95RON/85MON (130 kW: 98RON/88MON). In countries in which unleaded fuel with at least 95RON/
85MON (130 kW: 98RON/88MON) is not available, you can use unleaded fuel with 91RON (130 kW: 95RON) in emergencies. This, however, can reduce engine output and in!
crease fuel consumption. When subjected to heavy loads while burning grade 91RON fuel (130 kW: 95RON), engine damage could result. smart recommends that you always
run your petrol engine on unleaded petrol with a minimum grade of 95RON/85MON (130 kW: 95RON/88MON).
