I don't get it why they advise you wrong.. Want to get some $$$<br /> This "problem" is that the car starts to count when it 's build. Not when it's delivered.

I thought the service was at 15 000 km, but when I had my car in, they said it should have been around 10 000 km. Having said that, my wrench came on one day to the year of car being "built" date.....having not been reset as to purchase date.<br /> I didn't get the "mileage" counter on mine as I got the 1, 2, 3, 33, etc instead (counting days past service).<br /> I contacted Smart Canada who in turn contacted my local dealer and they called me to answer my question and book a service to look at it just in case it was something other than date (yes I did look to find the date my car was made because it was about 2 months early). So I recommend you call them and see what they say...<br /> <br /> Susan<br /> Heh, we got a chinook today - anything above -5oC is soooooo nice, even if we had the wind as well. Now, if the feet of snow on the raod would melt (hmmmm..... ok, maybe not all melt tonight... but got snow and ice tires for am).<br /> <br /> <br /> Hope this helps the US smart has 10,000 mil... tag:www.451s.com,2009-01-05:1912846:Comment:54588 2009-01-05T23:08:11.812Z mr bad example the US smart has 10,000 mile service intervals. today i hit 7,500 miles and the wrench blinked when i started it at 7500 miles, i guess meaning i'll need service in 2500 miles. i did my first oil change at 5200 miles. i plan on 5000 mile oil changes and getting dealer service at the 20K mile intervals.
