Replace the coolant in a Smart Fortwo. Here's how to do it. Open the plastic levers on either side of the front grille with your hands.

Once the catches at the front are released, push the bonnet down with your hands, then detach it. After removing the front bonnet, perform maintenance on your car. Unscrew the hose clamp to drain the fluid underneath the vehicle (use a lifting jack).

Refill the coolant in the dedicated reservoir once everything is drained.

Close the front cover of the car.
