How to Install the Rev Counter on a Smart?

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Checks and maintenance

To install the rev counter on a Smart, use an object to lever off the cover located on the top of the central dashboard panel: beneath this cover, you will find the connectors to which the rev counter needs to be connected. Once connected, secure it in its housing with the appropriate fixing screws; then, once secured, cover everything with the central panel that was removed earlier, ensuring everything functions correctly.
