Today, let's discover the instructions that will allow us to reset the ordinary maintenance warning (service) of the Smart Fortwo. First, we get into the car and start the instrument panel; then, we need to hold down the "ok" button located on the steering wheel once we reach the maintenance warning on the instrument panel display, as shown in the video.
