Questions About 2013 Smart Fortwo Electric Systems
-
Is it more expensive to repair Smart Fortwo electric vehicle systems? The truth is, it depends. Some high voltage components only come within a larger unit. Keep in mind that promotional financing is available through the Firestone credit card.* (*Subject to credit approval.)
-
How do I know when to get new brakes on my Smart Fortwo? A brake inspection is your smartest first step. Investing in manufacturer suggested maintenance intervals for Smart Fortwo brakes is another good idea. That said, front brake pad wear can be significantly reduced in electric vehicles because of regenerative braking.
-
What do I do if my Smart Fortwo dashboard warning light is on? 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.
-
Why is water leaking from my Fortwo? 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.

Local EV Service for 2013 Smart Fortwo
Has your Smart Fortwo been feeling a bit "off"? Maybe you've noticed slower acceleration, or it just doesn't feel as "peppy" as it once did. If so, our technicians can perform a no-cost* hybrid/electric vehicle check for more details. There could be an issue with the high voltage cooling system in your Fortwo -- 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? Firestone Complete Auto technicians are trained to provide low voltage and conventional services for all electric cars, including 2013 Smart Fortwos.
Select Firestone stores also have high voltage/advanced services for electric vehicles like the Smart Fortwo. High voltage services are any that include removing the Smart's high voltage, service/safety disconnect plug/switch, 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. Before making an appointment, call your closest location to confirm that 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: A diagnostic is the next step we take after noting the symptoms your Smart Fortwo is showcasing. This step will help us get to the bottom of the real problem. With those insights, a trained technician will further investigate any electric vehicle problems and decide if more analysis is required to complete the fix. No repair work is done until you give us the thumbs up.
High voltage battery cooling inspection: The technician will closely examine the high voltage battery's filter and, if needed, 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: This test involves using a unique tool to see if any high voltage parts are "leaking" electric energy to the Fortwo's chassis.
Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is your 2013 Smart Fortwo high voltage battery weak and failing? Sometimes electric vehicle batteries can wear out sooner than you expect in hotter climates or if you use Level 3 fast-charging stations often, as these stations can heat up 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 first to check!
