How to open the front hood of the Smart Fortwo E451

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015

To open the front hood of the Smart Fortwo model E451, we need to pull the hood opening lever located inside the vehicle; specifically under the steering wheel. Then we should get out of the vehicle and position ourselves in front of the hood to rotate outwards the two positioning levers located on the front grille of the bumper. After positioning the levers, we can open the front hood. To close the hood, we should let it fall on itself and close the levers inside the grille. We remind you that the hood opening is done from the inside outwards and not vice versa as on many other cars.
