The smart forfour cdi engines (cdi stands 1.1 litres and two 4-cylinder engines with 95 bhp (70 kW) or 109 bhp (80 kW) for “common rail direct injection”) are based on an injection technology, and a capacity of 1.3 litres or 1.5 litres respectively. Unlike the smart fortwo, which involves an ultra-modern high-pressure pump generating a maximum all engines in the smart forfour are transversally mounted in the front of the pressure of 1,600 bar in the common fuel line and injection nozzles. As well car. These engines are high in torque and low on fuel consumption. Emission as this, an electronic control ensures that precisely regulated amounts of levels are also low, meaning that the petrol engines conform to the stringent fuel are injected directly into the combustion chamber. Both cdi engines requirements of exhaust gas standard EU4. are high in torque, and are also remarkably low in emissions and comply with exhaust gas standard EU4.

In the smart forfour you can enjoy an all-round sense of security. After all, the complex safety system sets new standards in quality. The all-round passive safety offered by the tridion safety cell, the collapsible steering column, full-size airbags, side airbags and the three-point belt systems ensure maximum protection should it be needed. The smart forfour is also equipped with an innovative active damage prevention system. The electronic stability programme (esp®) will swiftly intervene if its sensors detect that the driver is losing control of the car. For example if the rear end threatens to break away, the car understeers, a wheel spins or loses contact with the road. esp® immediately reduces the engine torque and selectively brakes individual wheels to stabilise the car. The hydraulic brake assist function also makes a decisive contribution to driving safety. The esp® sensors can detect when you’re attempting to make an emergency stop and apply maximum braking effort to bring the vehicle to a halt quickly, even if you haven’t pressed the pedal hard enough. The anti-lock braking system (abs) with electronic brake-force distribution also enables you to steer around obstacles, even during heavy braking. smart_RL_ff_HK_TXT_UK 25.05.2004 12:04 Uhr Seite 13 neue Grafik neue Grafik neue Grafik von S&J von S&J von S&J 1 2 3 Safety Features.
