How to activate and deactivate the Start&Stop function of the Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this guide, we will see the main instructions that will allow us to activate and deactivate the Start&Stop system of the Smart Fortwo. First of all, we get on board the car and start the engine; usually we find the Start&Stop system always active at the first start of the engine and it will be possible to deactivate it thanks to the specific button that we find on the dashboard (next to the steering wheel) on the driver's side, as shown in the video. By pressing the Start&Stop button, the LED on it will light up, indicating that the Start&Stop system is deactivated; conversely, the Start&Stop system will be active.
