This video will show you how to replace the ventilation motor on the Smart 451. Remove the old ventilation motor and ensure the new one is the same model. Insert the cap into its housing as shown in the video and secure it with its screws.

Tighten the screws well using a socket spanner. Once done, apply the metal support that will fix the entire assembly in the engine bay. Insert the connector from which the duct will transport air to the system, unscrewing it from the part you just removed.
