How to replace the air filter of the Smart

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Air filter

Replacing the Smart's air filter is really simple and can be done by anyone without any kind of problem. Before discovering how to do it, we remind you to leave the engine off for the entire duration of the operation and to proceed to practice only after the engine has cooled down enough. First lift the front hood and locate the filter box located in the upper left corner. Unscrew the screws present and remove the plastic cover. Immediately below is the filter. Remove it and replace it with a new model. Finally, replace the cover correctly and tighten the screws.
