FAQQuestions about the Roadster manual
Which Roadster years does this manual cover?
Every year from 2004 to 2005 — 2 separate manuals, one per model year. Pick your year in the selector; the manual you receive is matched to that exact year, engine and trim.
Is this the OEM Smart Roadster manual or an aftermarket guide?
The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams Smart published for the Roadster, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.
Does it include Roadster wiring diagrams?
Yes. Full wiring diagrams are part of every Roadster manual, alongside repair procedures, specifications and diagnostic information.
Why do some Roadster years cost more?
Every Roadster year is $29.99.
Is this a subscription?
No. One payment, and the manual is yours to keep — unlike per-vehicle subscriptions that renew every year.
How do I get the manual after purchase?
It is a digital manual — nothing ships. Access details arrive by email right after checkout, and you can use it on any device.
