Thank you for contacting Bentley Publishers. Your suggestion to publish a Smart service manual is a great one. It is an ideal candidate for us. We will certainly take your input under advisement.

Thanks for taking the time to write us.

Regards,

Charlie Burke

I wouldn't hold my breath for getting one anytime soon

I need something on the car to break first....

27k and anything that has gone wrong with the car has been operator error... and even at that only the airbag light just came on Saturday night and that was only because CSX doesn't know how to construct a freaking railroad crossing.

Seriously though... What are you looking for that we haven't gotten yet? I saw that big 122 page manual a while back... is that what you're looking for?

..we have the tech manual in the members page, but I will like to have a complete maintenance/service manual...I know there's a CD version on Egay from some guy that put it together...But it's about time smart releases an approved version of the book...
...and about the roads..yeah...we can put a man on the moon, but we can't put two pieces of road together without a big bump..

Oh, I thought it was just here. Kidding, of course. I hate that the crossing I make to work daily was smooth as silk when installed ... and now there is no way to pass it no matter how you swerve, without a major yeeehaww bump. I attribute it to Florida engineering.

Oh, sorry. maintenance manual

My bad.

I do not believe we will ever get a manual from smart. I would be willing to pay for access to something online but have very little hope at this point.
