How to repair the air vent of the Smart Fourfour

Model: Smart Smart 454, Fourfour1 - Years 2004-2006

To repair the air vent of the Smart Fourfour model 454, we need to remove the fans and, using a flathead screwdriver, take off the vent body. Let's move to a workbench to remove the gray component so we can insert the new fan into the block. We will attach the gray outer part to the inner part of the fan and secure the clips. Then, we will get back inside the vehicle and insert the vent into its housing. On Smart vehicles, there is no connector; the clips inside will activate the ventilation control unit.
