Change Brake Pads on Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Brake pads

Replace the worn front brake pads on the Smart Fortwo. Remove the front wheel, unscrew the caliper locking bolt, and remove the caliper from the wheel support. Use a screwdriver to detach the pads from the hub caliper, then remove the caliper above the disc. Install the new pads onto the caliper, then refit the caliper onto the brake disc. Tighten all bolts and refit the wheel, securing the bolts. Replace the other calipers on the Smart Fortwo if they are worn.

Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14.
