Disassembly of the armrest on Smart cars

Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022

At the back and bottom of the armrest, as shown in the video, there are two easily removable plastic protectors (one on each side). Disassemble them by hand or using a plastic wedge or small flat head screwdriver. Unscrew the two screws on each side present here and now uncovered, then remove the cigarette lighter by simply pulling it by hand and disconnecting the connector. At this point you can extract the armrest from its seat and obviously proceed backwards for reassembly. As you can see, this is a simple process, even if it takes some time. Good job!
