How to open the hood of a Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Body

Today, in this simple video tutorial, we will see how to open the engine hood of a Smart Fortwo. To open it we simply have to go with our key to open the lock of the engine hood that we find hidden in the middle of the grille. The video shows how to disassemble the other two secondary grilles, always inserting the key in the lock and turning to access the air filter part. If we want to remove the bonnet, it will be necessary to unscrew its fixing bolts: in any case, at the end, reposition all the disassembled plastic grilles.
