Questions About 2018 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 often should you replace Smart Fortwo brakes? 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.
-
Why is my Smart Fortwo dashboard warning light on? There are so many reasons the Fortwo dashboard warning light can illuminate. Stop by Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic to learn more. You may also have a warning light on the dash regarding your high voltage system.
-
Is it normal for my Fortwo to leak water? If you’ve been running the A/C in your electric car, don’t be too surprised to find some water underneath it. Electric vehicles use a receiver dryer assembly to help keep the A/C refrigerant clean, which can produce external condensation. This condensation then drains under the vehicle on warm days. While a small amount of water can be considered normal, large puddles or any coolant leaking from your Fortwo could indicate a cooling system problem.

They also require battery, brake, and A/C system maintenance.

Local EV Service for 2018 Smart Fortwo
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. If so, our technicians can run through 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. Then again, it could be that your Fortwo has Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of its electric modules. Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care location is equipped to offer conventional and low voltage services for all electric vehicles, including your 2018 Smart Fortwo.
Certain Firestone Complete Auto Care locations also provide advanced/high voltage services for electric cars like Smart Fortwos. A high voltage service is any service that involves 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.
Your store's high voltage electric vehicle service may include:
Electric vehicle diagnostic: Once we identify the symptoms, a diagnostic is the next step we take when you bring your 2018 Smart Fortwo in to identify the root cause. With that info in hand, a professional technician can further pinpoint any electric vehicle problems and figure out if more tests are needed. No repairs are performed without your consent.
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: The outer cable jackets and connectors on your 2018 Fortwo will be inspected and tested to ensure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis. Your technician will notify you if the cable is in need of replacement.
Isolation test: During this test, the technician will use a special tool to check for any high voltage components that are "leaking" electric energy to the chassis.
Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is your 2018 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, since these stations may heat the battery more. Let us install a new electric vehicle high voltage battery.
Health check for the power electronic systems: We'll inspect the electric drive machine(s)/motor(s), power inverter, and/or regenerative braking in your 2018 Smart Fortwo.
