How do you adjust the opening of the convertible top in the Smart Fortwo?

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Convertible top

The advantage of a convertible car is undoubtedly being able to enjoy beautiful spring or summer days, opening the hood fully or partially. In the case of the Smart Fortwo 451, the car featured in this video, you can adjust the opening of the hood by using the button in front of the gear lever or through the remote control. Based on our preferences, we can decide whether to open it partially or completely, but we must not forget, as explained in the aforementioned video, that if they have been removed, the two side sliding guides must be repositioned in their place.

How to Replace the Engine Air Filter on a Volkswagen Polo

Remove the engine air filter from a Volkswagen Polo: open the car door, pull up the engine compartment release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard and lift the front bonnet, securing it with the prop rod. Remove the engine soundproofing panel (if necessary), then open the air box (unscrew the securing screws), remove the cover of the filter box and take out the engine air filter.
