Re: Spotted Blue #1 A303

It might be a good idea to watch the YouTube videos on the Smart channel. They are good at showing how the various options work.

Re: Spotted Blue #1 A303

I understand that the recall has been ongoing for a little while. I recall that some cars on the forum have already been done. It seems that the issue first arose during 2024 in Germany.

Re: Spotted Blue #1 A303

I've had my #1 Premium since September 2023 and I like it very much. The various over the air updates since I bought it have improved it greatly. I suggest that you spend time to look through the online manual and some time sitting in the car working through the infotainment system. Key things to ad...

Re: Service

So, the service advisor told me that Smart say that I need to bring the car in for service because it is saying that it needs one, despite the fact that the car was registered on 30th Sept 2023 and has covered about 9,300 miles and thus is not outside the two years or 20,000 mile service intervals. ...

Re: Service

So, the car is now displaying a "schedule service appointment" message. It is booked in at the dealership for a mid May visit. In the meantime, the dealer is talking to Smart UK to clarify the servicing situation. In any event, there is no cost to me as the first three years' service need ...

Re: Service

I've just tried to book my car in for its first service as the app suggests that it is due in 34 days or 9,550 miles. The car has covered around 9,100 miles and was registered on 30th Sept 2023. The dealer has confirmed that a service is due at 2 years or 20,000 miles.

Re: Fuses & dashcam install

Mine was fitted by a Nextbase fitter. It switches off once the car goes to sleep. This isn't when the car is locked. If the key is in 'reach' of the car, it will remain awake. Without dismantling the trim, I can't tell you which fuse was used for the power supply.

Re: Charging Time

I suggest that you check that you haven't inadvertently reduced the charging current. If you open the 'Energy' app, there is a slider bar at the bottom of the charging menu options. This adjusts the charging current.

Re: Key fob battery

Since getting the car in Sept 2023, I've had to replace the fob batteries every three to four months. I've had a warning from the car on every occasion. I also carry spares in the car.

Re: smart OTA System Update 1.3.2

Did the charging rate increase as the charge progressed?
