How to check the coolant on the Smart 450

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video tutorial you can see how to check the coolant on Smart 450. First you have to go in front of your car where you see that there are two grilles on the left and right; to see the radiator fluid we need the right grille. If you look closely at this grid you will see that there is a slot where you have to insert the key and turn counterclockwise. At this point, once the grille has been removed, you can see that there is a plastic net that serves to protect eg. Of leaves and other material. To remove this protection just insert a finger into the slot and pull down until it releases. Now looking inside the slot you see that there is the air vent and ahead is the coolant reservoir of the radiator. Unscrew the cap only when the engine is cold to avoid splashes of hot liquid. Check the fluid level and top up if necessary.
