How the Smart Media System Works on the Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Instrument cluster

Let’s see how the media system works on the Smart Fortwo: the 7" screen is capacitive, making it very responsive to touch, and on the home screen, there are 6 main menus. However, the icons can sometimes be a bit small to hit on the first touch. An alternative is voice commands, but they are not always reliable, as it has not always been possible to set a destination on the navigation system while the car is moving, or to make a call via hands-free. There is a USB port and an AUX-in, as well as a 12-volt socket. The Smart media system is an optional extra on nearly the entire range, which also includes automatic climate control. Alternatively, you can use the system via cable with mirroring, but be careful as not all smartphones are compatible. In this case, you can use the free SmartCrossConnect app, which has many useful functions.

Where is the Fuel Filter Located in a Volvo XC60?

In this video, you will see where the fuel filter is located in a Volvo XC60 and how to proceed if you need to replace it. As shown, the filter is positioned at the lower part of the engine, right between the left half-shaft and the sway bar attachment. To replace the filter, first, go underneath the vehicle, taking all necessary safety precautions. Then, using an 18mm wrench, open the drain valve and allow any water present to escape. Next, unscrew the housing, remove the old filter, insert the replacement along with a new gasket, and reassemble everything.
