Removing Rear Bumper from Smart

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Rear bumper

Removing the rear bumper from a Smart Fortwo? Disassemble the piece in all its parts. Unscrew the fastening screws located in the holes of the rear bumper (the screws are visible), then remove them from the bumper plastic. Unscrew the screws located at the top of the bumper, then remove the screws on the sides. Once the bumper is free from any screws or pins, grasp it with your hands and pull it away from the bodywork (disconnect any wiring). Fit the new rear bumper for the Smart: screw in all the screws once it is secured to the rear of the car.

Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
