Ok, I know the smart is rated for an octane rating of 95, minimum 91 (or 92). Today was the first day I have found an octane rating of 94 (usually 92 or 91 is premium here). Of course I thought, why not give it a try, it's only $0.03 more a l...

I was driving last night in manual mode, and a "snowflake like" symbol started flashing between my transmission position indicator and my outside temperature. It then stopped flashing after a few km, stayed solid, and then disappeared.
Anyone have any idea what it was trying to tell me? I read the manual again last night (twice) trying to figure it out.
Almost 2000 km on my smart,

Thanks SATO, I believe this site is where I found the specs. for the spark plugs. I'll look around the site a little deeper and see if I can find more information. Thanks again.
discussion-comment
Your absolutely right, I completely missed that. My apologies to you and Sato. Unfortunately I don't have anymore pictures but will work on getting some. If there was an emoticon here that showed embarassment, I would insert it here.
