How to open the front hood of the Smart Fortwo for maintenance and bulb replacement? Let's see in this video how to proceed: we bring the plastic levers (placed on the sides of the front grille) with our hands towards the center of the grille. Once the latches at the front are released, the hood will drop down, then, let's scroll through it as the video shows. Once the piece has been opened, we carry out maintenance on our car (topping up and light bulbs). To proceed with the assembly: slide the plastic coating on the front of the nose with your hands. Finally, we close the levers of the front hood opening with our hands.

To remove the spring that holds the front pads, use a flathead screwdriver. Now, unscrew the bolts that secure the piston to the pads, then remove it, giving you access to both pads that brake the rotor. Of course, repeat the same steps on the other side if the same replacements are needed.
