To remove the front bonnet of the Smart, open the doors so that you can loosen the fixing bolts of the bonnet located at the bottom of the corresponding pillars: once these screws have been loosened, you will need to pry off the front grille, loosening the two additional screws underneath and unscrewing the screws located at the bottom of the bumper.

When all these screws have been loosened, you will be able to completely detach the front bonnet, allowing access to the components underneath.
