How to Program the Roof of a Smart 451?

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

One issue that may occur with cars equipped with an electric roof, including the Smart 451 shown in the video, is incomplete opening and closing, or not stopping even when reaching the end of the travel. Unless there are structural damages, an immediate and very simple solution is to reprogram the opening and closing cycles. To do this: Fully open the roof, continue to hold the open command button for ten seconds, and replicate the same for closing. Now that the positions have been memorised, test the operation.
