To replace the brake pedal switch on a Smart, secure the pedal using an object to keep it pressed down. Next, lift the car using a ramp and access the components located underneath: here, unscrew the screws that secure the cover of the gearbox to access the switch.

The switch can then be disconnected and replaced with a new spare part; after replacement, refit the lower cover of the gearbox.
