How to Open the Bonnet on a Smart Car

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Body

Today, you will learn a very simple operation that many do not know: opening the bonnet on a Smart car, which is done differently from other car models. At the front, under the bonnet, where you see the plastic grille, you will find two plastic clips on the sides that you need to pull, as shown in the video. You won't believe it, but that's it! Just this is enough to unlock and open the front bonnet of your Smart. Now pull it up and forward from the central area, where the badge is, with a bit of force, and it will come off.
