Turn on the Smart with the discharged battery

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

Today we are going to turn on a Smart 451 with a low battery. We enter the passenger side vehicle, lift the carpet placed under the mat so as to identify the battery to be powered through the starter-booster. Once the battery has been identified, turn on the starter-booster and connect the red cable on the side with the + (positive) symbol and the black cable with the - (negative) symbol. Now just turn on the ignition and start the vehicle, wait a few seconds with the engine running and then disconnect the starter-booster. We tidy up the carpet removed earlier and our work ends here, but let's not forget not to turn off the engine, you may need the advice of an auto electrician to replace the battery.
