What do the three horizontal lines on the dashboard of a Smart mean?
Years 2007-2015

Answer

The three horizontal lines on the dashboard of a Smart indicate a generic fault: it could be a knock on the gear knob while driving, for example, or a deep hole that momentarily misaligns the gearbox. In this case the best thing is to pull over, switch off and on again.
