The smart fortwo is a car's length ahead of its time and lends a new, modern dimension to urban mobility. The smart's clever vehicle concept remains unrivaled in its second generation as well, a fact also reflected by the new "Accessories for the smart 2007." The extensive range of features, which are based on intelligent ideas and sophisticated detailed solutions, include everything from practical storage elements to functional foot mats, effective navigation systems, and outstanding sound systems. The new bicycle, ski, and snowboard racks impressively demonstrate how large equipment items can be stored in the smallest possible space ? it's truly intelligent cargo management ? la smart.
A new spatial concept: Organizational talent in the trunk
Room in even the smallest corners: The practical SafetyPlus package, which includes a warning vest, first-aid kit, breakdown triangle, flashlight, umbrella, and other useful utensils, takes up very little space on the inside of the hatchback.
The practical Trennschutz plus feature combines variability and safety. This two-in-one solution brings together a ceiling-mounted safety net with an integrated cargo area covering, thereby enabling owners to maximize cargo volume without sacrificing safety. The Cargo Area Covering, which is also available on its own, ensures that curious individuals who look inside the vehicle won't see anything, while its roll function allows it to be fastened easily with just one hand.
In the net: The Cargo Area Net Package consisting of one net each for the side wall and floor enables loose objects to be stored properly and safely. The Cargo Area Management System makes it possible to change the cargo area's arrangement and features a flexible fastening system along with trays, tension belts, and a shopping bag. Also helpful are foam-filled elastic Luggage Fasteners in the form of nylon straps that adapt to fit luggage of any shape and whose Velcro fastener and soft upholstery keep everything firmly in place.
Eating out: Picnic fans will love the insulated Multifunctional Box that will keep drinks cold and food hot. Typically smart: Beverage cases fit exactly onto the box cover, where they can be piled high. Those wishing to transport, for example, dirty or wet cargo can turn to the rugged Trunkliner, whose water-resistant and no-slip surface provides optimal protection against water and dirt in the cargo area, and can also be cleaned out using a garden hose.
Smart storage solutions
It fits, doesn't wobble and contains no air: The Storage Bin Set consisting of a cockpit bin and a removable MiniMax bag is precisely integrated into the instrument panel. The cockpit bin can be used to hold CDs, the vehicle registration, and an MP3 player, for which it provides direct access to the MP3 interface in the vehicle. The MiniMax bag securely stores shopping items, while the CD Box, which is conveniently mounted within reach of both the driver and front passenger, can accommodate up to six additional CDs. Keys, wallets, and other small items that tend to fly loose when vehicles brake or take curves always remain in their place, thanks to the slip-free Rubber Mat Storage Bin.
The Eye Glass Bin featuring a practical magnetic lock removes the need to worry about what to do with glasses and cases in the car, while the Cupholder ? which can hold containers of all different sizes ? guarantees that drivers can have a drink without any mishaps. The holder can also be folded out to the side, enabling large bottles to be transported as well. Cleanliness on the floor is ensured by tough Velour Foot Mats and no-slip All Weather Foot Mats made of rubber that is resistant to both water and dirt ? just two more examples of simple but effective features.
Staying in shape: Transport systems for sports equipment
smart drivers don't need to leave anything home ? and certainly not sports equipment. The Basic Rack, which is mounted on the rear end, comes with lights and a license plate holder. Various additional rack systems can be mounted on to it ? for example, one or even two Bicycle Racks, which allow bikes to be placed on rails and secured against theft with the help of a frame lock.
Winter sports aficionados can use a Ski or Snowboard Rack, which can also be combined if so desired to transport two pairs of skis and a snowboard. As an individual unit, the Ski Rack can accommodate two pairs of skis, and the Snowboard Rack two snowboards. Completely practical: The rear window of the smart fortwo can be opened even when the cargo area is fully loaded.
Always well connected: State-of-the-art communication systems and mobile entertainment
smart drivers can allow themselves to be guided to unfamiliar destinations with the portable smart Navigation System that includes a large, low-glare touchscreen display featuring 2D/3D map views. A specially developed Car Kit (special fastener) enables the navigation unit to be mounted directly onto the instrument panel. This optimal arrangement allows the driver to easily operate the device and view the screen. What's more, the fastening system prevents vibrations from shaking the screen, and the clamp offers maximum security for occupants in the event of a collision.
When mounted on the instrument panel, the navigation unit can also be integrated into the vehicle electronic system. This offers the benefit of having directions issued by the system via the stereo speakers, during which time the radio automatically goes into a quieter mode to allow the driver to clearly hear the instructions. Car Kit mounting also ensures that the unit is consistently provided with sufficient power and thus always available for use.
The BlueTooth Hands-Free unit, which includes a BlueTooth adapter, ensures that drivers are always available on the phone, whereby the adapter is mounted onto the Telephone Console, making for easy accessibility.
Lend me your ears: High-quality sound is guaranteed by smart radio 9 with RDS radio and a CD player, as well as the MP3-enabled smart radio 10, which comes with an in-dash CD changer that can hold up to six CDs. The smart Accessories Sound System offers outstanding stereo sound, while the smart MP3 Interface links MP3 players and portable CD players to the smart audio system.
A brilliant and unmistakable appearance
Open-top driving fans can use the Windblocker to protect themselves against swirling winds while driving in the smart fortwo convertible. A brilliant appearance for the vehicle is guaranteed by the Chrome Package featuring side mirror covers, chrome-style radiator grill and rear-end ornaments, and high glossy chrome fog light rings.
Three spokes ? five speeds: The Three-Spoke Leather Sports Steering Wheel with Column Gearshift and rocker switch provides drivers with an authentic Formula One feeling. Pivoted Additional Instruments such as the cockpit clock and tachometer are not only functional but also exciting to look at. The Basic Auxiliary Heating Kit not only ensures that the interior is prewarmed but also guarantees well-heated seats and fog-free windows even at temperatures below freezing.
Also extraordinarily exclusive are the smart Alloy Rims for 15 and 16-inch tires. The 16-inch, five-spoke alloy wheel is particularly attractive, and makes a big impression together with the combination of 175/50 R16 tires in the front and 215/40 R16 tires in the rear. Just as spectacular are the 15-inch six-spoke alloy rims in mirrored chrome.
Would-be thieves will go home frustrated when smart owners opt for the Wheel Anti-Theft Device. This lock set consisting of four bolts, a security key and a code card protects alloy and steel wheels.
Sports deluxe with BRABUS Accessories
The BRABUS Accessories program offers equipment that underscores the sportiness and dynamic nature of the smart fortwo BRABUS model. Two particularly racy features here are the BRABUS Sports Chassis, which is now 10 millimeters lower to the ground, and the BRABUS Sports Exhaust System, which features two chrome tailpipes mounted in the middle of the undercarriage.
The interior is given a refined and elegant appearance with aluminum and leather on the BRABUS Gearshift Knob and the BRABUS Sports Pedal Covering.
