Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Operation: How to start the Smart equipped with an automatic gearbox

In this video we show you how to start the Smart with automatic gearbox. Once inside the cockpit you will immediately notice that there are only two pedals: the one on the right is the accelerator and the one on the left is the brake. Obviously the clutch is missing. Looking at the center, between the two seats, you will find the automatic gear lever and the ignition key input. Make sure that the automatic gearshift lever is in the neutral position, i.e. neutral. At this point, turn the key slightly to the right and the engine will start. Keeping the brake pressed, push the gear lever to the left to position A (automatic). Now you can leave.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
