Removing the Speedometers on a Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Instrument cluster

To remove the speedometers on a Smart Fortwo, first remove the panel located near them, which contains the hazard light button and door lock. To do this, simply pry at the surrounding gaps with a plastic wedge or a small flat screwdriver until fully extracted. Once done, disconnect the connector using the flat screwdriver. You will now have access to all the screws securing the speedometers and the upper section of the central dashboard. Unscrew them and lift the central dashboard trim just enough to remove the "dials".

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. 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.
