Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Dashboard
Operation: How to disassemble the speedometer of the Smart 451

In this video tutorial you can see how it is possible to disassemble the rear window of the Smart 451 speedometer, following a few simple steps that will allow you to work independently, without resorting to the assistance of a professional. First you have to get inside the car and put the handbrake, get yourself a 10 Torx key because you have to unscrew 4 bolts as shown in the video which are located under the speedometer. Once the bolts have been removed, you have to lift the plastic dashboard, replace the burnt out bulbs with new ones. You can then reassemble all the parts you removed previously by going backwards.

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.
