Questions About 2011 Smart Fortwo Electric Systems
-
Is it more expensive to repair Smart Fortwo electric vehicle systems? It depends. Some high voltage items are only available as parts of larger units. We also offer promotional financing when you use the Firestone credit card.* (*Subject to credit approval.)
-
When do Smart Fortwo brakes need to be replaced? The best way to know is with a brake check. You also want to stay on top of your manufacturer suggested maintenance intervals for Smart Fortwo brakes. Generally speaking, front brake pad wear may be significantly reduced in electric vehicles due to regenerative braking.
-
My Smart Fortwo dashboard warning light is on. What should I do? Your Smart Fortwo dashboard warning light might be on due to a number or reasons. You may also have a warning light on the dash regarding your high voltage system. Stop by Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic to learn more.
-
Is it normal for my Fortwo to leak water? Electric cars use a receiver dryer assembly to help keep the A/C refrigerant free of contaminants, and this process can produce some condensation. When it’s warm outside, this condensation may drain under the vehicle. If you’ve been running the air conditioner in your Fortwo for some time, don’t be too concerned to find a bit of water under it. However, if you discover large amounts of water or any coolant leaking under your vehicle, you may have a problem with the cooling system or another component.

Check your owner's manual or speak with an automotive professional for more specific guidance. Keep in mind that even electric cars require regular maintenance, such as tire rotations, brake inspections, and fluid checks.

2011 Smart Fortwo EV Services
Have you noticed your Smart Fortwo behaving differently? Perhaps you've noted weaker braking, or your vehicle doesn't feel like it has the same "get up and go" that it used to. Whatever the issue, Firestone technicians can conduct a no-cost* hybrid/electric vehicle check for more details. Perhaps there is trouble inside your Fortwo's high voltage cooling system -- a high voltage battery that's running hot will strain the battery's performance. Or, perhaps there are Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of your Fortwo's electric modules? Your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care store is ready to offer conventional and low voltage services for all electric vehicles, including your 2011 Smart Fortwo.
Some Firestone Complete Auto Care locations also provide advanced/high voltage services for electric vehicles like the Smart Fortwo. High voltage services are any that include removing the Fortwo's high voltage, safety/service disconnect switch/plug, servicing any high voltage cables, the power inverter, the high voltage electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, etc. Call your local store before making an appointment to check if high voltage services are offered.
These are some of the high voltage electric vehicle services that may be offered at your location:
Electric vehicle diagnostic: Once we identify the symptoms, a diagnostic is the next step we take when you bring your 2011 Smart Fortwo in to identify the root cause. With that info in hand, a trained technician will further diagnose electric vehicle problems you're having and determine what tests (if any) are needed. No repairs are performed without your consent.
High voltage battery cooling inspection: Your technician will examine the Fortwo's high voltage battery filter, if applicable, and clean the battery's ducts. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries. Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)
High voltage cable inspection: Cables can get damaged. In this inspection, your tehnician will examine the exterior cable jackets and connectors and test to make sure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis of your Smart Fortwo. If the cable needs to be replaced, they'll let you know.
Isolation test: For this test, a special tool is used to reveal if a high voltage component is "leaking" energy to the vehicle's chassis.
Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is the battery in your Smart Fortwo dead? Sometimes electric vehicle batteries can wear out sooner than you expect in hotter climates or if you use Level 3 fast-charging stations often, since these stations may heat the battery more. Let us replace it for you.
Health check for the power electronic systems: We'll check the power inverter, electric drive machine(s)/motor(s), and/or regenerative braking in your Smart Fortwo.
These are just a few of the more specialized electric car services that might be offered at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. Call and ask!
